To ensure that clients recognize all servers in the environment
as belonging to a single community, add a ST_COMMUNITY_ID value to
the sametime.ini file.
About this task
All users and public groups in the contact list are associated with a specific community.
Each community is defined by a community name that is configured by the ST_COMMUNITY_ID flag in
the [Config] section of the sametime.ini file. When the flag is not set, the
default value is the server host name (a specific Sametime® node that user the logs into). For example, if a user logs into the community
sametime.example.com and adds contact A, that contact will be associated
with the community sametime.hcl.com. If the users logs into
sametime2.example.com and adds contact B, that contact will be associated
with community sametime2.example.com.Complete this procedure to add the
same ST_COMMUNITY_ID parameter to each Sametime
Community Server in the environment. Doing so prevents clients from creating redundant
communities for servers in the same environment.
Procedure
-
Open a text editor on the Sametime Community
Server.
-
Open the sametime.ini file located in the Sametime Community Server installation directory.
This directory is typically found in one of the following locations:
- Linux™:
/local/notesdata
- Windows™:
C:\Program
Files\HCL\Domino
- In the [Config] section, add the
community ID. The value can be any descriptive string, not necessarily
a domain name. Use this syntax:
ST_COMMUNITY_ID=community_name
For
example, the following value names the community sametime.example.com
:
ST_COMMUNITY_ID=sametime.example.com
- Save the sametime.ini file.
- Repeat the procedure for every Community Server in the
environment.
- Restart each Community Server after saving the change to
the sametime.ini file.
