Configuring the AJAX proxy for the Video Chat widget

The AJAX proxy allows requests to be made across domains. Since the IBM® Sametime® Meetings application resides on its own server, not on the IBM Connections server, requests should be made through the AJAX proxy.

About this task

The WebSphere® Application Server contains a modifiable proxy configuration file, proxy-config.tpl. To modify the file, see this procedure: Configuring the Ajax proxy.

Procedure

In the proxy-config.tpl file, located on the computer which hosts the IBM Connections server, modify the url value according to your own configuration.

Note: The proxy must allow the actions, cookies, and headers as shown.

 <proxy:policy url="http://stkvmg17.cn.ibm.com:9080/*" acf="none">
