Customizing the Sametime Meeting Server configuration

You can customize your IBM® Sametime® Meeting Server by changing configuration keys. You can also add your own configuration keys.

About this task

The custom configuration keys that you create yourself display after the configuration keys that come pre-configured with the Sametime Meeting Server. Custom configuration keys that you create yourself can be edited and these are the only configuration keys that can be deleted. Do not delete any of the pre-configured custom configuration keys unless directed to do so by IBM.
