Deploying
IBM® Sametime® consists of a variety of servers and clients, and can be deployed to suit many different environments. The deployment instructions are organized by feature set, beginning with the minimum components that are necessary to support instant messaging, and then expanding the deployment to include features such as audio and video support, and conferencing.
Deploying instant messaging
Instant messaging features are provided primarily by the IBM® Sametime® Community Server, which supports presence, text chats, and two-way phone calls.
Securing the Sametime® Community Server
The IBM® Sametime® server uses the Internet and intranet security features of the Domino® server on which it is installed to authenticate web browser users who access Domino databases on the server.
Configuring Sametime® Community Server to use SSL encryption
Configure IBM® Sametime® Community Server to use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) for its services; and configure HTTPS when communicating with Web clients or enable LDAPS (LDAP over SSL) with the LDAP server.
Instructing users to enable TLS in the Sametime® client
After TLS is enabled in your Sametime® deployment, instruct users to enable TLS connections from the Sametime client.
