After setting up your initial IBM® Sametime® environment, you may want to make additional changes to safeguard information at your site, including limiting user access to certain features, using encryption, and modifying default security settings.
Replacing SSL certificates for Sametime® servers running on WebSphere®
Communications between IBM® Sametime® servers are encrypted when the servers are configured to use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). Sametime servers that run on IBM WebSphere® Application Server install with SSL enabled, and with a default certificate in place. Replace that certificate with one that is signed by an accepted Certificate Authority. For the awareness feature to work with browser clients, the Sametime Advanced Server must use the same certificate that the Sametime Proxy Server uses.
