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.
Enabling SSO between Domino® and the Sametime® Community Server
The IBM® Sametime® Community Server uses authentication by token to authenticate connections that occur after a user has authenticated once using password authentication.
Manually enabling the Domino® SSO feature
If your environment requires you to manually enable the Domino® SSO feature instead of using the default configuration provided by the IBM® Sametime® installation, you can use the steps in this section to manually enable the Domino SSO feature.
Enable SSO and "Name & Password" authentication in the Server document
