Verifying a Sametime Proxy Server installation on IBM i

Open the IBM® Sametime® Web client to verify that the installation was successful.

About this task

Follow these steps to verify the installation.

Procedure

  1. Using a browser, log in to the Sametime Proxy Server application using this URL:
    http://serverhostname.domain:port /stwebclient/index.jsp

    Replace serverhostname.domain with your server name and add the port number.

    For example,

    http://stproxy1.example.com:9080/stwebclient/index.jsp

  2. To verify the port number being used by the application, log in to the console on the Sametime Proxy Server:
    1. Enter this URL, replacing serverhostname.domain with the fully qualified domain name of the server.

      http://serverhostname.domain:8600/ibm/console

      8600 is the default port when the Sametime Proxy Server is installed as a Cell Profile.

      For example:

      http://stproxy1.example.com:8600/ibm/console

    2. Enter the IBM WebSphere® Application Server user ID and password that you created when you installed the server.
    3. Click Servers > WebSphere application servers > STProxyServer > ports > WC_defaulthost to locate the port number.

      You can also verify the HTTP port number used by the Sametime Proxy Server by opening the AboutThisProfile.txt file for the Sametime Proxy Application Server Profile and use the setting specified for the HTTP transport port. The default profile name is short_host_nameSTPPNProfile1 when you use a deployment plan to install the server.

  3. Verify that you can create or view contacts.
  4. Verify that the new server was successfully federated to its deployment manager.

    The deployment manager handles administration tasks for the cell to which the new server is federated. If the server was not successfully federated, you will encounter problems when you attempt to administer it; you will also be unable to create a WebSphere Network Deployment cluster. Avoid these problems by verifying that the federation was successful and completing federation manually if needed.

    1. On the new Sametime Proxy Server, navigate to the following directory: install_root/profiles/profile_name/logs
    2. Open the addNode.log file and check for confirmation that the new node was successfully added to the cell's deployment manager.
    3. If the node was not federated successfully, open QShell and run the addNode command to complete the federation: 
      install_root/bin/addNode.sh -profileName profile_name dmgr_host dmgr_SOAP_port

      where:

      • dmgr_host is the fully qualified host name of the deployment manager (typically the Sametime System Console).
      • dmgr_SOAP_port is the SOAP port of the deployment manager.

        The SOAP port is 8879 by default; you can check the port value by opening the deployment manager's WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console and clicking System Administration > Deployment Manager Communications > Ports.
