Configuring the XMPP proxy server

Configure the XMPP proxy server to allow XMPP-based instant messaging systems to flow to and from the IBM® Sametime® Gateway.

Before you begin

Expected state: the SIP and XMPP proxy server node is installed and federated into the cell. A Sametime cluster has been installed. The deployment manager is started.

Procedure

1. On the deployment manager node, log into the Integrated Solutions Console.
2. Click Servers > Application Servers and select the XMPPProxyServer from the list.
3. Click Ports.
4. Click New to add a port.
5. Select User-defined Port .
6. Type XMPP_INTERNAL_PORT in the Specify port name field.

   The proxy will use this port for internal traffic only between servers and the proxy.

7. In the Host name field, type the IP address of the computer on which XMPPProxyServer is installed.
8. In the Port field, type 5272.
9. Click OK and Save.
10. In the Integrated Solutions Console, click System administration > Cell.
11. In the "Additional properties" section, click Custom Properties, and click New.
12. Create Name and Value pairs for the Sametime Gateway cluster, XMPP proxy node name, and XMPP proxy server name. Type the names and values as they are spelled out in the table. For XMPP proxy node name, substitute the name of the node on which the XMPP proxy resides.

    Name	Value
    STGW_CLUSTER_NAME	SametimeGatewayCluster
    XMPP_PROXY_NODENAME	XMPP proxy node name
    XMPP_PROXY_SERVERNAME	XMPPProxyServer

13. Click Apply and Save after you type each pair. When you are done, you will have a table that looks something like this:
    
    
    

What to do next

Next, you must configure a class loader and a shared library for the XMPP proxy server.
