Completing the LDAP configuration on IBM i

After installing the Sametime® Community Server on IBM® i, use the Sametime Administration tool to provide the information that Sametime needs to search the LDAP directory and authenticate Sametime users against entries in the LDAP directory.

Before you begin

Start the Sametime Community Server.
Note: If you did not specify the correct LDAP connection information when you configured the Sametime server, the server will not start. See Adding the Sametime Community Server to an IBM i Domino server to correct this before proceeding.

About this task

Follow these steps to complete the LDAP directory configuration for Domino®.

Procedure

  1. Access the Sametime server by starting your web browser and entering the following URL:

    http://serverhostname.domain:port/servlet/auth/admin

    Replace serverhostname.domain with your fully qualified server name and add the port number if you determined it is not the default port number 80. You must specify the server's fully qualified host name; if you do not, you will be able to access the Sametime Welcome Page, but you will not be able to log in.

    For example: http://st85comm1.example.com/servlet/auth/admin

  2. From the Sametime Welcome page, click Administer the Server.
  3. At the login prompt, and specify the Domino server administrator ID and password and click Enter.
  4. In the Sametime Administration Tool, click LDAP Directory.
  5. Enter the settings to enable your Sametime server to access the LDAP directory.

    The settings should match the information you provided when you connected the Sametime System Console to the LDAP server.

  6. Click Save & Close.
  7. Restart the Sametime server to enable your settings.

What to do next

From a web browser, access the Sametime Welcome Page using the fully qualified host name of the Sametime server. Verify that you can log in with a User ID and password from the LDAP directory.
