  - Setting up business cards
    You can configure the Sametime server so that business card information about an individual displays when a user hovers over a name in a chat window or a contact list. Business card information also displays at the top of an active chat window.
  - Configuring LDAP
    Sametime supports LDAP directory servers as the user repository.
  - Updating the time-to-live index for persistent chat
    The time-to-live (TTL) setting defines how long the chat history is stored in the database. The default value is 90 days. However, administrators can update the value based on the organization's preferred setting.

  - Monitoring your meeting and chat metrics with Grafana
    Sametime uses the third-party software, Grafana, to generate insightful graphs and visualizations derived from time-series database (TSDB) data. Integrating Grafana into your Sametime environment allows you to see analytic metrics about Sametime meetings and chats on a Grafana dashboard. The metrics can be used to monitor Sametime usage and resources.
  - Push messaging through a proxy
    Depending on your network settings, your firewalls could prevent Sametime proxy from connecting to push networks like Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) and Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) through the Internet. Sametime supports the sending of APNS and FCM messages through a proxy server. If you need to send APNS or FCM message through a proxy server in your environment, you need to configure the settings for the messages you want routed through the proxy.

Enabling content security headers on Docker and Podman

About this task

The Docker and Podman commands are similar. The only difference is that docker precedes the command when issued in a Docker environment and podman precedes the name in a Podman environment. Example commands used in the Sametime documentation are shown using Docker. For Podman, change docker to podman.

Procedure

Edit the custom.env file.
Add the following parameter to the file, where company_domain is the domain name.
```
CONTENT_SECURITY_POLICY=frame-ancestors https://*.company_domain.com
```
To apply the changes, stop the Sametime server and start it again.
To stop the Sametime server, run the following script from the Sametime installation directory.
```
docker-compose down 
```
Start the Sametime server to apply the changes.
```
docker compose up -d
```
