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 authentication with the Sametime® configuration servlet
The IBM® Sametime® Community Server contains a configuration servlet that is accessed by several Sametime server processes. By default, this servlet does not require authentication, which might allow an unauthorized user to read configuration data. Protect this servlet by configuring Sametime to require authentication.
