Add admin users to Connections security roles – the easy way
Wed, Apr 18th 2012 8:11a   Klaus Bild
It happened again some weeks ago when I installed the Connections 3.0.1.1 fixpack, all the users I added to the security roles of the different apps were gone after the update But instead of adding them again manually through the Admin console I searched for a better solution and found an old blog entry from Marco Ensing: http://www.ibmconnections.org/wordpress/index.php/2010/04/mapping-groups-to-a-role-in-lotus-connections/ This was the basis for this little jython script, which you can use t [read] Keywords: admin connections ibm lotus javascript security twitter widgets

Start Sametime TURN Server as Windows Service
Tue, Mar 27th 2012 7:11a   Klaus Bild
Since Ver. 8.5.2 Sametime provides video communications across NATed networks or firewall via the TURN server when direct peer-to-peer communications are not possible. Unfortunately this “server” is only a java program which has to be started manually and which will be closed when you log out the server. Workaround is to create a windows service which will start the TURN server as local system account: - Download Windows Service Manager (SrvMan) from: http://tools.sysprogs.org/sr [read] Keywords: ibm sametime java javascript server twitter widgets

I hate it if I have to restart my WAS servers and can’t logon with my admin user because the LDAP server is down, same is true when playing around with federated repos settings.

How to reanimate your Sametime environment (after failed upgrade)
Thu, Jan 26th 2012 9:11a   Klaus Bild
I already upgraded many customer environments from IBM Sametime 8.5.2 to 8.5.2 IFR1 without any hitches but this time I tried it on our own internal production environment and failed miserably. Don’t ask me why but the upgrade of the SSC  failed and my system was left in an “unstable state” -> #StuffIBMTechnotesSay Definition of unstable = I can’t install the upgrade, SSC is not working, I can’t reinstall 8.5.2 Fortunately I found a Technote which rescued me o [read] Keywords: admin ibm ldd lotus sametime sametime8 javascript password twitter widgets xml

How to enable Online Awareness in your Lotus Notes Client after Sametime upgrade
Wed, Jan 11th 2012 8:10a   Klaus Bild
Many customers are upgrading their pre 8.5 Sametime environments to 8.5.x Versions and therefore have to change the directory lookups to LDAP. (If you already used LDAP lookups just ignore this post.) Unfortunately online awareness for hierarchical names will not work anymore in the Lotus Notes Client (still works for email addresses): This is because the hierarchical name is not a “standard” lookup field. If you use Domino as LDAP server the displayname field will be your hier [read] Keywords: admin domino ibm lotus notes notes client sametime community email javascript server twitter widgets

Seit dem 22.11. steht der Intermediate Feature Release (IFR) 1 für Sametime 8.5.2 zum Download bereit. Hauptziel dieses Releases war es, neben Produkt Bugfixing weitere Funktion für Sametime zu implementieren, ohne das man auf einen neuen Punktrelease warten muss. Die wohl meist erwartete Neuerung stellt die native iPhone/iPad Applikation dar, welche alles bietet, was man sich von einer iOS5 App vorstellt (Notifications, Picture uploads…).

Customizing the Sametime Meeting Center UI
Wed, Oct 26th 2011 6:11a   Klaus Bild
I really like the new Sametime Meeting Room Center UI, nice blue/green/grey screen. Nevertheless our CI colors are more like purple and so I had to try to change the UI accordingly. Sametime Meeting Center is a pure Websphere application so customizing means find the app resource files and you are almost done. So the magic path is : $WAS_INSTALL_PROFILES_MEETINGinstalledApps$CELLSametime Meeting Server.earstmeetings.webclient.warstatic-20110517-1459oneuicommonstyles To change UI from to was [read] Keywords: ibm lotussametime sametime sametime8 sametimelotus application css javascript server twitter websphere widgets

Using SSL in Sametime 8.5.x for LDAP connections Part 2
Fri, Oct 14th 2011 8:10a   Klaus Bild
Took me a little bit longer as expected but here is now part 2, how to enable SSL for LDAP connections on the community server. In part 1 described how you can enable SSL for LDAP connections on the WAS servers. You can find some information on this topic in the Sametime Wiki but I found it rather confusing and misleading. First of all I had to set up iKeyman and the GSKit on the community server to support Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) and create the Keystore DBs.

Using SSL in Sametime 8.5.x for LDAP connection Part 1
Mon, Aug 29th 2011 9:13a   Klaus Bild
Securing a connection to a LDAP server sounds pretty easy but doing this for a Sametime 8.5 deployment, especially the community server, is far away from easy. Documentation (Infocenter, Sametime Wiki) is not very clear on this topic and has some conflicting infos. These are the steps which worked for me. Configure WAS Servers for secure access to LDAP server This is pretty easy and is well documented in the Sametime Wiki, you just have to import the public root CA of the LDAP server certificate [read] Keywords: ibm ldd lotus sametime sametime8 community javascript server twitter widgets wiki

Customizing IBM Connections Profile Labels
Mon, Jul 11th 2011 6:13a   Klaus Bild
Customizing IBM Connections 3.x labels is pretty easy, you just have to create a properties file, store your customized labels in it and place this file inside your /strings directory: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/lcwiki.nsf/dx/Customizing_product_strings_ic301 Customizing the profile labels on my installation unfortunately did not work although mentioned on wiki page (com.ibm.lconn.profiles.strings.ui_xx, com.ibm.lconn.profiles.strings.uilabels_xx).

Wir nutzen bei uns intern seit dem Erscheinen der IBM Connections 3.0.1 Version diese auch. Die wichtigsten Neuerungen in dieser Version waren die Ideation Blogs sowie die Media Gallery, in welcher man Bilder und Videos ablegen und mit einer nützlichen Vorschaufunktion durchsuchen kann. Nur leider hat diese Vorschaufunktion vom Beginn weg nicht funktioniert und wir haben auf eine Nutzung der Galleries somit ersteinmal verzichtet.

IBM Sametime Advanced gibt es schon seit dem Jahre 2008 und ergänzt Sametime Standard mit Echtzeit Community und Social Networking Funktionalitäten (Persitent Chat Rooms, Broadcast Tools). Leider war die Installation aller Versionen vor 8.5.2 sehr komplex und kompliziert, unter anderem mussten IBM WebSphere MQ und der WebSphere Event Broker installiert werden. Diese Komplexität führte dazu, dass das Produkt nie Verbreitung und Akzeptanz fand.

Nachdem ich jetzt schon mehrere IBM Sametime Server auf 8.5.2 aktualisiert habe will ich meine ersten Erkenntnisse gerne mitteilen. Generell war ich sehr erstaunt, dass der Upgrade Prozess auf allen Systemen von 8.5.1 auf 8.5.2 kein Problem war. Keine Fehlermeldungen, keine zerschossenen Installationen, nichts, einfach klick, klick, klick. Vorgegangen bin ich wie unter Upgrading Sametime im Wiki beschrieben.

Heute hat IBM die neuste Version von IBM Lotus Sametime angekündigt, welche viel mehr als ein Punkt Punkt release ist, wie es der Namen 8.5.2 suggeriert. Die neue Version wird ab 10. Juni erhältlich sein und nicht mehr IBM Lotus Sametime heissen, sondern nur noch IBM Sametime. Grosse Änderungen gibt es v.a. im Bereich Audio und Video (AV). Neu kann man AV auch im Meeting Browser Interface nutzen und nicht nur im Full Client.

Change Sametime Client 8.5.x settings after deployment through managed-settings.xml

There are many possibilities to change you Sametime Clients settings before and after a client rollout i.e. by changing/adding some lines to plugin_customization.ini (direct or indirect through Notes policies). Unfortunately changing plugin_customization.ini through Notes policies is not really bulletproofed an often doesn’t work at all.
