Configuring Sametime Community Server connectivity
Review the host names and ports for Community Services on the HCL Sametime Community Server.
About this task
Community Services supports all presence (or awareness) and text chat activity in a Sametime community. Any Sametime client that contains a presence list must connect to Community Services on the Sametime Community Server.
Community Services include:
- Client login requests
- Connections from clients that access the Sametime server through a direct TCP/IP connection, or an HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS proxy server. Community Services clients connect to the Community Services multiplexer component, which is deployed on a computer separate from the Sametime Community Server.
- Directory access for username search and display.
- Directory access to compile lists of all servers and users in the community.
- Dissemination of presence and chat data to all users connected to Community Services.
- Maintenance of privacy information for online users.
- Connections from the Community Services on other Sametime Community servers when multiple servers are installed.
- Logging of server community events to the Sametime log (stlog.nsf).
This must be completed separately for each server within a Sametime Community Server cluster.
