Enabling the administrator to manage the Sametime Community Server

When you use a deployment plan to install the Sametime® Community Server, you must add the Sametime Administrator listed in the LDAP directory to the Sametime Configuration database to enable the administrator to manage the community server. Skip this task if you installed the server without using a deployment plan or if you upgraded from an earlier release.

Procedure

Follow these steps to add the administrator to the server's access control list to ensure that the user account has the appropriate access.
  1. The IBM® Domino® server needs to be running to complete this task. If the Community Server is running, stop the server now.
    1. Open a command window.
    2. Navigate to the Domino installation directory.
    3. Start the Domino server console by entering jconsole.
    4. In the Domino server console, stop the Sametime server by entering Tell STADDIN Quit.
  2. Open the IBM Notes® client on this server.
  3. Open the Sametime Configuration database:
    1. Click File > Open > Notes Application.
    2. In the Look in field, select the server where the community server is installed.

      If you are using a Notes client on the same server, the location is Local.

    3. In the Open Application window, click the Data folder and then click Open.
    4. In that folder, locate the Sametime Configuration database (stconfig.nsf) in the Sametime Configuration folder and click Open.
  4. Add the Sametime administrator to the access control list for this database:
    1. Click File > Application > Access Control.
    2. If this user does not appear in the list, use the Add option to add your Sametime Administrator to the ACL.
    3. Provide the name of the person who is the Sametime administrator, as it is listed in your LDAP directory, and then click OK.

      For example, if the LDAP content shows CN=John Smith,OU=East,O=Corp, enter the following text as the distinguished name:

      CN=John Smith/OU=East/O=Corp

    4. Click OK.
  5. Close the Notes client.
  6. From the Domino server console, shut down the Domino server with the following command:

    quit

  7. Restart the Domino server, then restart the Sametime Community Server.
