Connecting clients to the new Community Services DNS

Configure an IBM® Sametime® Connect Client to communicate with a Sametime server that is listening for HTTPS connections using the host name (DNS) and port that you specified in the HTTPS tunneling settings for the server.

Procedure

For each Sametime Connect Client, configure the following settings in the Sametime Connect Client tab:
