Distributing updates and optional features to clients
Configure an update site to distribute optional features and updates to clients.
Before you begin
A basic Eclipse update site is provided in the optional-components directory of the stand-alone client install CD and downloaded image. It includes all of the optional features distributed with Sametime®, including Microsoft™ integration features and spell checker dictionaries for various languages. You can make updates to this site yourself to remove features you do not plan to distribute, to add your own features, or to add fixes.
About this task
- Distribute optional Sametime client
features to Windows™ and Mac
clients.
(Linux™ client installations include the optional features, but they are hidden until users enable them.)
- Install new client features that you have purchased from a third party or developed yourself using the Sametime SDK.
- Install client fixes from IBM®.
Note: To be able to install updates, Microsoft Windows Vista
and Windows 7 clients must
right-click the client program and choose to log on as an administrator,
and when prompted, consent to run the program with elevated privileges.
This allows the installation of new updates temporarily. After installation,
log on as a regular user, to restore the default security for the
client.
