Manually enabling anonymous login by authentication token

When a deployment restricts log-ins to specific client versions or types, manually enable the anonymous login by authentication token feature using a setting in the sametime.ini file.

Procedure

  1. On the IBM® Sametime® Community Server, locate the sametime.ini file.
  2. Edit the sametime.ini file and locate the [Config] section.
  3. Add the 1FAA login type to the VPS_ALLOWED_LOGIN_TYPES setting:

    VPS_ALLOWED_LOGIN_TYPES=...,1FAA

    The VPS_ALLOWED_LOGIN_TYPES setting lists the client types and versions that are allowed to log in to the Sametime Community Server.

    If this setting is not used in the sametime.ini file, all log-ins are permitted and there is no need to enable the anonymous login by token feature.

  4. Save and close the sametime.ini file.
  5. Restart the Sametime Community Server.
