Configuring the preferred login list
In Sametime 11, by default, persistent chat enables a user that is logged into multiple clients to receive instant messaging sessions across all clients concurrently. In an environment that does not support persistent chat and the single login type feature is disabled, Sametime uses a default login order to determine which client type should receive the instant messaging session. A preferred login list allows you to override the default order.
About this task
By default, once persistent chat is disabled, the Sametime Community Server depends upon the default list of client types, each of which has a predefined weight. Login order for each user depends upon the login-type weight. The first login type, having minimal weight, is the one provided for the incoming instant messaging session.
- SametimeConnect clients
- Sametime Mobile clients
- Sametime Proxy clients
The Sametime Community Server is installed with a pre-defined list of client IDs for preferred login types. Use the below steps to customize this list and include Sametime 11 clients as necessary.
