Setting an internal subscription timeout for an external community

Setting an internal subscription timeout allows you to define a subscription timeout if an external community does not set a timeout through the SIP Expires header. An internal subscription timeout also overrides any existing subscription timeout defined by an external community.

About this task

Use the custom property incomingSubscribeDefaultExpiration to determine when an external community should renew its subscription.

Expected state:
  • Single server: the Sametime® Gateway Server is started.
  • Cluster: the deployment manager is started, and the node agent and Sametime Gateway Server are started on at least one node.

Procedure

  1. In the Integrated Solutions Console, click Sametime Gateway > Communities.
  2. Select a community to view the community properties.
  3. Click Custom Properties.
  4. If this is the first time you are setting the inbound subscription timeout, click New, otherwise click incomingSubscribeDefaultExpiration to edit the custom property.
  5. Type incomingSubscribeDefaultExpiration as the name for the property.
  6. Type an interval in seconds in the Value field, for example: 1800.
  7. Click OK, and then Save.
  8. Restart the Sametime Gateway Server. If you have a cluster of Sametime Gateway Servers, restart the cluster.
