not supported with the Sametime Audio/Video Browser Plugin in
this actual Sametime Version 8.5.2.
We do not support any Linux based OS now for Browser A/V.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 should work and is officially
supported. But it is not recommended to use this version because
it can cause issues when several parallel connections needs to be
established with the meeting server.
Social Business 10 © 2010 IBM Corporation
11. Other requirements
● Make sure that all servers you want to use can be resolved in DNS.
● If DNS is not available then list all full qualified server names and IP addresses
from all servers in the hosts file and publish this file to all servers.
● The Media Manager Server does not work when installing with a DNS alias. You
must configure the full qualified machine host name (including domain part)
and use this for the installation. This name does not need to be configured
anywhere else and the client does not see it.
● If you use Windows 2008 as Operating System, then you need to start all
installations and configurations in „Administrative mode“.
● You need a LDAP Server hosting your user base. This can be a Domino LDAP or
Microsoft Active Directory or any other supported V3 LDAP.
Social Business 11 © 2010 IBM Corporation
12. Required files for a deployment on Windows
For a Windows installation you need to download these files from Passport Advantage:
CZYG1ML.zip IBM DB2 9.7 32Bit Limited Use for Sametime
CZ1GMML.zip IBM DB2 9.7 32Bit Net Search Extension (Optional)
CZYF2ML.zip IBM Sametime System Console Server
CZYD7ML.zip IBM Sametime Community Server Standard
CZYE6ML.zip IBM Sametime Proxy Server
CZYE0ML.zip IBM Sametime Meeting Server
CZYF0ML.zip IBM Sametime Media Manager Server
CZYH2ML.zip IBM Sametime Advanced Server (Optional)
CZYF7ML.zip IBM Sametime Client Package Standard
Create a directory, for example “C:Install”, on the servers where you want to install.
Then unpack the downloaded files into this directory. Just unpack the files required for
your deployment architecture on the particular server.
Even if you are installing on a 64Bit OS (Windows 2008 R2 64Bit) use the 32Bit DB2
and NSE. It just works and makes the installation easier.

14. IBM Sametime 8.5.2 - Our pilot recommendation
Compared with the last version of this document installing IBM Lotus
Sametime 8.5.1 (from Lotusphere 2011), we have changed again our
recommendation for a pilot deployment.
The reason for the change is the availability of new features in
installation methods as well as our increased experience and many
successful installations using this method in the last months.
It is known that implementing several components, who provides web
services on one box, require special network configuration. The
services needs to be bind to individual IP addresses. This
configuration is described fully and detailed later here in the
document.
The Sametime Advanced Server in this pilot deployment is optional
and requires additional licensing. Do not install this server if you do
not have purchased the required licenses. Without Sametime
Advanced you can do the full installation of all components with just
2 machines.
Social Business 14 © 2010 IBM Corporation
15. Different ways to a pilot deployment
● The Sametime Install Guide (“recommended small pilot deployment”)
describes to distribute the Domino and WebSphere based services on
different servers.
● You can also install all components on separate servers. This is more for
production environments or bigger pilots.
● You can use any mix between these two previous methods.
● In this example we will install on 2 servers plus one optional server for
Sametime Advanced:
● Server1: DB2 Database Server, Sametime System Console,
Sametime Meeting Server, Sametime Media Manager,
Sametime Proxy Server
● Server2: Sametime Community Server
● Server3: Sametime Advanced Server (optional)
● An existing LDAP Server (we use AD in this example)
Our reasons for this scenario:
● Reduction of boxes used for a complete deployment
● Easiest and fastest way to have all components up and running with the
smallest number of required boxes
● This script works well for all ways.

18. Special IP configuration for the WebSphere based Server
As described before you should configure the machine hosting the
WebSphere based servers with 2 IP addresses and 3 DNS entries.
In this slide deck we use:
Host Name: sametime.renovations.com
IP: 192.168.30.10
This is the machines Host name. With this name we install the DB2
Server, the Sametime System Console and the Sametime Media
Manager
DNS Alias: meeting.renovations.com
IP: 192.168.30.10
With this address we install the Sametime Meeting Server
DNS Alias: webchat.renovations.com
IP: 192.168.30.30
With this address we install the Sametime Proxy Server
Social Business 18 © 2010 IBM Corporation
19. Required technical users for IBM Sametime 8.5.2
IBM Sametime requires some technical users for components to
communicate in an authenticated mode. All of this users should be
configured so that the password never expires and never needs to be
changed.
db2admin
This user is created during installation of the DB2 server in the
Operating System. Do not create this user in advance.
It is the user for all IBM Sametime related components using DB2 to
access their databases. Be sure to match the password policy
requirements of the OS.
wasadmin
This is the user to access the IBM WebSphere components and to
administer the system. This user must not exist in your LDAP directory.
It is created during WebSphere installation in a local file repository. You
can use the same user name and password for all components (makes
it easier) or different names and passwords. But again, it does not work
when this user exists in the LDAP.
Social Business 19 © 2010 IBM Corporation
20. Required technical users for IBM Sametime 8.5.2 (cont)
Domino Administrator
This user is created during installation of Domino for the IBM Sametime
Community Server. It is a best practice to not use a existing
administrative account because it is the account with that the IBM
Sametime System Console communicates with the Community Server.
LDAP Bind User
This is a user account in your LDAP directory. This account is used to
connect in authenticated mode to the LDAP server to get all required
attributes. It is possible to connect anonymously to the LDAP but then it
does not work with some LDAP systems or the LDAP server requires
special configuration to allow anonymous bind.
Social Business 20 © 2010 IBM Corporation
21. Starting and stopping the WebSphere based Server
In this pilot deployment we install and configure all WebSphere based
Sametime servers using a single Cell. Then it is easy to administer all
of them using just one administrative interface. (The Integrated
Solutions Console of the Sametime System Console)
With Sametime 8.5.1 the services where created automatically for all
servers because we used for all of them a separate “Cell Profile”
deployment. Now with IBM Sametime 8.5.2 we use the Network
deployment method by implementing all servers as a Primary Node
federated to the Deployment Manager of the Sametime System
Console in just one Cell.
Using this method the installer does not create some required
components and it does not create some services in the Windows
operating system. We need to manually create this components and
Services. All the required steps are described in detail later in this
slide deck.
Social Business 21 © 2010 IBM Corporation
22. Audio/Video Plug-In for Browser access to Meeting Rooms
The Meeting Plug-In is shipped with the Media Manager in two formats.
1.) Download Version
This version files needs to be copied onto a Web Server that can be
accessed by the Browser from the client who want to access the Meetings
using Audio and Video services. This could be the Domino based
Sametime Community Server, the Sametime Proxy Server or the Sametime
Meeting Server or any other web server in your organization.
In this pilot deployment recommendation we use the Sametime Proxy
server for this service.
To download and install this Plug-In it is required to have Administrative
access rights on Windows 7. With all other OS the user right is enough
2.) Deployment Version
This version can be deployed using your preferred deployment tool. It
contains a MSI installer file. But be careful in some operating systems as
Windows 7, it is required to install this version with administrative rights.

27. STEP ONE: Setup an LDAP Server
Summary
This step installs or identifies the LDAP server containing the User
directory you want to use for your Sametime implementation.
Social Business 27 © 2010 IBM Corporation
28. The LDAP Server
In most environments a LDAP server is already present. If you use Domino it
is simple to just enable LDAP on one of the Domino Directory Servers. If you
use an existing LDAP Server other then Domino, it is important to use a V3
compliant LDAP.
Make sure you have all relevant data from the LDAP system. (use ldapsearch,
Apache LDAP studio or another LDAP browser to get the relevant LDAP
information - an LDIF extract of a user and a group)
A security related recommendation is to have a Bind DN. This means a user
record in the LDAP that can be used for authenticated access to the data in
the LDAP server. We use the „LDAP Bind“ user in this example.
This is a technical user. His password should never expire. Otherwise the
systems can not connect to the LDAP server anymore when this password is
expired.
The LDAP connection can be configured with SSL encryption. To configure
your Sametime Servers connecting to LDAP with SSL (LDAPS), additional
steps are required. Make sure that you have access to the required certificate.
But we recommend to start without SSL and when all components work, start
implementing LDAPS.
Social Business 28 © 2010 IBM Corporation
29. In this example we use an existing Microsoft Active Directory 2003
server. If you plan to use other LDAP servers then step 6 can be
different, dependent on the used LDAP directory.
See the Sametime Product Documentation for more details.

31. STEP TWO: Install the IBM DB2 Server
Summary
This step installs the IBM DB2 9.7 Server.
We like to use a CMD command line window to enter some of the commands
and start the installers. For that we have created a short cut in our fast start
section.
You can use the Windows Explorer as well to navigate to the destination
directory and double click the installation file (launchpad.exe)
On Windows 2008 the Launchpad installer is not available now. You must use
the package CZ1HLML.exe and install the DB2 Server with the setup.exe
command in the „C:InstallWSERimage” directory. The installation screens
are different then with the Launchpad installer. This package does not contain
the Database creation scripts. You need to use the scripts in the particular
server packages for the Sametime System Console or the Sametime Meeting
Server.
Social Business 31 © 2010 IBM Corporation
32. Enter the command “cd InstallSametimeDB2” and press the “Enter” key.
Enter the command “Launchpad” and press the “Enter” key.
Do not copy and paste any commands from this document into your CMD line. This does not
work because this would copy some special characters.
Social Business 32 © 2010 IBM Corporation
33. Just click the “Install IBM DB2” link.
Social Business 33 © 2010 IBM Corporation
34. And again click the “Install IBM DB2” link.
Social Business 34 © 2010 IBM Corporation
36. Click the “Next” button to continue.
Social Business 36 © 2010 IBM Corporation
37. Accept the terms in the license agreement and click the “Next” button to continue
Social Business 37 © 2010 IBM Corporation
38. Remove “Program Files” and click the “Next” button to continue
We recommend to use path names without spaces (as some scripts may require this) and
also shorten the path name so that the typical limits of some operating systems and
applications for path + file name length are avoided.
Social Business 38 © 2010 IBM Corporation
39. Click the “Install” button to install the Installation Manager.
Social Business 39 © 2010 IBM Corporation
41. If you are using Windows 2008 R2 or Windows 2003 R2 then it can be possible that
you run into a JAVA heap memory overflow. To prevent this issue change a parameter in
The “IBMIM.INI” configuration file of the Sametime Install Manager. See the next 2 slides
how to do this. And then click the „Restart Installation Manager“ button to continue.
Social Business 41 © 2010 IBM Corporation
42. In the File Explorer navigate to your Install Manager's eclipse directory “C:IBMInstall
Managereclipse”. Then open the configuration file “IBMIM.ini” in notepad.
Social Business 42 © 2010 IBM Corporation
43. Add he parameter “-Xmx1024m” at the end. Then save and close the file.
This parameter is case sensitive.
Now click the “Restart Installation Manager” button in your Install Manager screen
to continue your Installation.
Social Business 43 © 2010 IBM Corporation
44. Installation Manager is re-launching. Now click the „Install“ icon to continue.
Social Business 44 © 2010 IBM Corporation
45. Select „DB2 – Version 9.7.0.0“ and click the „Next“ button to continue.
Social Business 45 © 2010 IBM Corporation
46. Accept the terms in the license agreement and click the “Next” button to continue.
Social Business 46 © 2010 IBM Corporation
47. Remove “Program Files” and click the “Next” button to continue.
We recommend to use path names without spaces (as some scripts may require this) and also
shorten the path name so that the typical limits of some operating systems and applications for
path + file name length are avoided.
Social Business 47 © 2010 IBM Corporation
48. Again remove “Program Files” and click the “Next” button to continue.
Social Business 48 © 2010 IBM Corporation
49. Click the “Next” button to continue.
Social Business 49 © 2010 IBM Corporation
50. Enter the DB2 Administrator Username (we use the default “db2admin”) and enter
the DB2 Administrator Password twice. Then click the “Next” button to continue
If you use Windows 2008, be sure to enter a password that meets the password policy. The
DB2 Admin User password should not be longer then 8 characters. Change the local
security policy to allow passwords with 8 characters length. This db2admin user will be
created as a local user or as a Active Directory User. This can not be done if the user already
exists. Same with the 2 groups that the DB2 Installer adds.
Social Business 50 © 2010 IBM Corporation
51. Click the “Install” button to install the DB2 Server
Social Business 51 © 2010 IBM Corporation
52. The Installation Manager installs the IBM DB2 Server now. This step takes
approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
Social Business 52 © 2010 IBM Corporation
53. Important to know...
Your DB2 Database Server is a sensitive component in your Sametime
Environment.
It stores all the predefined configuration data and holds the information how to
communicate with your servers for administration and maintenance.
We highly recommend to make regularly a backup of your DB2 database using a
DB2 aware backup software, or export data and backup the exported data.
It is possible to implement your DB2 Server for high availability and load balancing
using DB2 methods.
For more information check into the DB2 InfoCenter, or download and read the
RedBook „High Availability and Disaster Recovery Options for DB2 on
Linux, UNIX, and Windows“
The steps to create a DB2 database need the database name as a
command line parameter. We would recommend using a CMD command
line window to enter this commands.
Social Business 53 © 2010 IBM Corporation
54. When the installation has finished successfully, click the „Finish“ button and then close
the Installation Manager and the Launchpad.
Social Business 54 © 2010 IBM Corporation
55. STEP THREE: Create a DB2 Database for the
Sametime System Console
Summary
This step creates the Sametime System Console Database on the DB2
Server.
If you want to use a dedicated DB2 server or if you already have a DB2
9.7 Server environment available, you can find the Database creation
scripts in the DB2 installation package or in the particular installer
directory of the Sametime System Console and the Sametime Meeting
Server.
Open a new CMD line window because then the newly set environment
variables during the DB2 Server installation are in place. If you use
Windows 2008 then log out and log in with the “db 2 a dm in ” user first.
Social Business 55 © 2010 IBM Corporation
56. Enter the command “cd installSametimeDB2DatabaseScriptsSystemConsole”.
Do not copy and paste any commands from this document into your CMD line. This does not
work because this would copy some special characters.
Social Business 56 © 2010 IBM Corporation
57. Enter the command “createSCDb.bat STSC db2admin”.
The name of the database should not be the name of the Sametime System Console Server. If
your SSC is named „stsc.renovations.com“ then you can not name the database STSC. Then
you need to use another name for example „STSCDB“. In this example we use
„meeting.renovations.com“. So we dont have any issue with the Database Name „STSC“.
Social Business 57 © 2010 IBM Corporation
58. The DB2 database is now created and confgured. Be sure that you see „The
SQL command completed successfully.“ response after every command.
If you don't see this responses or get an error message, be sure that your DB2
server is up and running (listening on Port 50.000 or 50.001) and you are
authenticated with the correct user and password.

59. STEP FOUR: Install the IBM Sametime System
Console Server
Summary
This step installs the Sametime System Console Server.
Social Business 59 © 2010 IBM Corporation
60. Navigate to the „InstallSametimeSystemConsole“ directory and enter the
command „Launchpad“
Social Business 60 © 2010 IBM Corporation

The Package group is the installation destination for the IBM Lotus WebSphere base files. The
first installation requires the creation of a new package group. If you install more WebSphere
based applications on the same hardware (like the Sametime Proxy Server and the Sametime
Meeting Server) they can use the existing package group. Then you cannot change the
installation path.
Social Business 67 © 2010 IBM Corporation
68. Click the „Next“ button to continue.
Social Business 68 © 2010 IBM Corporation
69. With IBM Sametime 8.5.2 it is possible to install Sametime on top of an existing
Websphere 7.0.0.15 Server. We don't want to do this in this pilot deployment.
Just click “Next” to continue.
Social Business 69 © 2010 IBM Corporation
70. In this screen you define the WebSphere Application Server administrative user. You
need to authenticate with this user to access the Sametime System Console. It is
important that this user does not exist in your LDAP. In this example we use the
standard „wasadmin“. Enter the password twice and click the „Next“ button to continue.
Social Business 70 © 2010 IBM Corporation
71. Enter the host name of your DB2 server and the DB2 Administrator password. In this
example we have installed the DB2 server on the „sametime.renovations.com“ server.

step can take approximately 30 to 45 Minutes.
Social Business 74 © 2010 IBM Corporation
75. Important to know...
If you plan to use the IBM Lotus Sametime System Console, you should install this part
first. But it is possible to add an already installed Sametime Server to the System
Console for managing and administration. This can be done with every new Sametime
component.
By the way, if you lose your already installed System Console server, you can revert it
back by installing a new one and add the already installed Sametime components to it
using post install registration utilities. Can be found in <product install root>/console
directory)
Be sure to make a backup of all related data and files (DB2 and WebSphere) because
it is much faster to restore a backup if a failure occurs.
You will see that it is worth to learn about the Sametime System Console and use it
very soon!
Social Business 75 © 2010 IBM Corporation
76. The Installer first unpacks the WebSphere Application Server install files
Then he installs the WebSphere Application Server 7.0.0.3 binaries
Then he creates the WebSphere profiles
Then he installs the Update Installer
Then he installs the Update to WebSphere 7.0.0.15
Then he install the application and configures everything

button and close the Installation Manager and the Launchpad.
Social Business 78 © 2010 IBM Corporation
79. STEP FIVE: Log in to the IBM Lotus Sametime
System Console Server
Summary
Start your preferred Browser, enter the System Console URL and log in.
In this example we use the Mozilla Firefox.
Social Business 79 © 2010 IBM Corporation
80. Enter the URL „http://sametime.renovations.com:8700/admin“.
Then click the “Add Exception” button.
The WebSphere Application Server Administrative interface (the Integrated Solutions
Console ISC) is always secured by SSL. Therefore you will be redirected to HTTPS and the
port 8701 automatically. You are prompted to accept the default certificate. For different
browsers the procedure to accept this IBM signed certificate is different.
You can use the direct URL: „https://sametime.renovations.com:8701/ibm/console“.
Social Business 80 © 2010 IBM Corporation
81. The IBM signed certificate is not trusted by the browser. Click the „Get Certificate“
button to accept the certificate by clicking the “Confirm Security Exception Button”.
(this dialog is different using other browsers)
Social Business 81 © 2010 IBM Corporation
82. Enter the WebSphere Application Server Administrative User name and its password.
We use „wasadmin“. Then click the „Log in“ button to continue.
Social Business 82 © 2010 IBM Corporation
83. You have now reached the IBM Lotus Sametime System Console.
Next step is to configure the LDAP connectivity.
Social Business 83 © 2010 IBM Corporation
84. STEP SIX: Configure the „Connect to LDAP Server“
Prerequisite.
Summary
In this step you configure the LDAP connectivity in the Sametime System
Console. This is used for the Sametime Community Server installation as
well as in the Sametime Meeting Server and Media Manager installation.
You can change this LDAP connectivity later. But this will not apply to any
Deployment Plan or to any already installed server. Any changes needs to
be done in the servers configuration directly. (Community, Meeting,
Media) This is only for the first installation of the servers before creating
the Deployment Plan.
Social Business 84 © 2010 IBM Corporation
85. Click the „S a m e t im e S y s te m C o n s o le “ link.
Now click the „Sametime Prerequisites“ link.
Next click the „Connect to LDAP Servers“ link.
Social Business 85 © 2010 IBM Corporation
86. On any Sametime System
Console Screen you can
find additional information
on the middle part of the
page. There are Links to the
official Sametime InfoCenter
for the particular step you
want to do next.
Social Business 86 © 2010 IBM Corporation
87. To connect to an LDAP server click the „Add“ button to continue.
Social Business 87 © 2010 IBM Corporation
88. Configure the LDAP connectivity
information on this screen.
- The Deployment Name can be anything
describing this LDAP connection.
- The Host name should be the Full
Qualified Host name. The Port depends
on the LDAP.
- An MS AD LDAP Server normally uses
the Port 3268. Other LDAP Systems use
the Port 389.
- Do not use the secure connection
unless you have imported the certificate
from the LDAP server.
- The Bind Distinguished Name should
be the full qualified Distinguished Name
(DN) of the Bind user.
Click the „Next“ button to continue.
Social Business 88 © 2010 IBM Corporation
89. The system now connects to the LDAP server, authenticates and requests the LDAP
parameters. It detects the possible Base DN's and the Directory type.
Select the right Base DN on this screen. Check the „Configure advanced LDAP
settings“ checkbox to see more LDAP parameters.
Click the „Next“ button to continue.
Social Business 89 © 2010 IBM Corporation
90. For your information: If you use Domino LDAP then this step is a little different.
Note: A drop-down list typically displays from which you select a base DN that is detected by
the guided activity; however, the list does not display when Domino® LDAP is being used.
Additionally, Domino LDAP is the only LDAP that uses a blank base DN, while WebSphere®
requires a base DN for federating repositories. Since WebSphere does not let you federate an
LDAP directory with an empty base DN, it sets the base DN to C=US. The LDAP repositories
are listed by base DN after they are federated.
Failure to specify a base distinguished name will prevent authenticated users from creating
and attending meetings on the Lotus Sametime Meeting Server.
Social Business 90 © 2010 IBM Corporation
91. Important to know...
Because WebSphere requires a Base DN, your Sametime Community Server will be
configured with a Base DN as well. This is done in the Directory Assistance
(DA.NSF) and the LDAP Document in the STCONFIG.NSF database.
In some situations (specially if you have multiple directories with different
Organizations in your LDAP) it is required to empty this BaseDN field in the DA.NSF
and STCONFIG.NSF databases. Specially the BaseDN for Groups has to be
removed. I assume you have not created your groups with a “/renovations” at the
end. This is the marker for the “O=renovations” Base DN. And only then the groups
can be found. So remove the Base DN in the Domino based Sametime Community
Server is useful in most cases.
But for the WebSphere Servers connecting to the Domino LDAP (Sametime System
Console, Sametime Meeting Server and Sametime Media Manager) you need to do
additional configuration steps if you have multiple directories in your Domino LDAP
server. For example if the users in the first directory are registered with the certifier
“O=renovations” and in the second directory with the certifier “O=IBM”, then you
need to add a federated repository in the Integrated Solutions Console, configure the
“O=IBM” setting in both fields and select the same LDAP server repository.
Social Business 91 © 2010 IBM Corporation
92. Click the „Next“ button to continue.
The Home Sametime Server field has to
be filled only if you have a Sametime
Community Cluster or more then one
Sametime Community Server in your
community.
Social Business 92 © 2010 IBM Corporation
93. Click the „Next“ button to continue.
Social Business 93 © 2010 IBM Corporation
94. Click the „Finish“ button to save the settings and configure the
LDAP connection in the Symetime System Console Server.
Social Business 94 © 2010 IBM Corporation
95. The LDAP connection is now successfully created and the Sametime System
Console server configured. This is a mayor security configuration change that
requires a WebSphere server restart.
Social Business 95 © 2010 IBM Corporation
96. To restart the server, the easiest way is to restart the Windows Services.
Starting with Sametime 8.5.1 the installer installs the required services in the
operating system.
First open the Services view in the Operating System.
Social Business 96 © 2010 IBM Corporation
97. Then set all of the 3 WebSphere services to automatic.
Double click the service. In the “General” tab, near “Startup type” select
“Automatic”. Then click the “Apply” button.
Social Business 97 © 2010 IBM Corporation
98. When this is done for all 3 services, then you can easily restart the
Sametime System Console by restarting the operating system.
Note: During the Sametime 8.5.2 installation, the required server processes are starting
automatically. The services are added at the end of the installation. This means just after the
installation the IBM WebSphere services are shown as not started, but the tasks are running.
If you now try to start the services in the services view, this will fail. You need to restart the
operating system once, and then you can start / stop the services in the services dialog.
Social Business 98 © 2010 IBM Corporation
99. STEP SEVEN: Run the Guided Activity to configure
the IBM Sametime Community Server
deployment plan
Summary
This guided activity takes you through the steps of creating a deployment
plan, which collects information that pre-populates installation screens.
We suppose you have your own Lotus Domino Server on that you want to
install your Sametime Community Server. It is recommended to not
implement this server in your existing Lotus Domino domain. Using a
separate Domino Domain gives you independency. You can easily
configure your server with LDAP authentication and you are version free.
Do not install unwanted installation options like DOLS, DECS, RNRMGR
or LDAP. But it is important to enable the HTTP task for the next
installation step.
In this example we have installed a Domino 8.5.2 Server level.
Social Business 99 © 2010 IBM Corporation
100. Some slides with our best practices installing a Domino Server hosting a Sametime
Community Server.
Social Business 100 © 2010 IBM Corporation
107. Be sure that the full qualified host name is listed in both fields (see below). If not, just
edit the field.
Social Business 107 © 2010 IBM Corporation
108. Important to know...
Configure your Domino Server hosting the Sametime Community Server in a
separate Domain. Do not implement this server in your existing Mail Domain.
● You are version independent and can use another domino version then in your
Mail Domain
● You are independent in the Directory Design and can use a standard design
or a newer design
● Your Domino Directory is empty – it does not contain any users. Makes it
easier to implement LDAP
● Add all your collaboration servers (Sametime and/or QuickR) into this Domain
● You can use an existing certifier from your production mail domain to register
the server ID. Then you don't need cross certification, can access the server
from your Admin Client and Notes Client SSO to Sametime works without any
additional configuration
● You can copy an existing SSO LtpaToken Document from your Production
Domain to your Collaboration Domain. Add the Sametime Server(s) first and
then copy the document.
Social Business 108 © 2010 IBM Corporation
109. Be sure that your Domino Server is up and running and the HTTP Task is started.
Social Business 109 © 2010 IBM Corporation
110. Start your Browser now and connect to the Sametime System Console. Then login as
described in Step 5.
Now click on „Sametime System Console“ and then „Guided Activities“.
Then click the „S a m e tim e S y s te m C o n s o le “ link.
Social Business 110 © 2010 IBM Corporation
111. Confirm that „Create a New Deployment Plan“ is checked and click the „Next“ button.
Social Business 111 © 2010 IBM Corporation

name it „Chat Server“. Then click the „Next“ button to continue.
Social Business 112 © 2010 IBM Corporation
113. We want to install the Product Version 8.5.2. Leave it as it is and just click the „Next“
button.
Social Business 113 © 2010 IBM Corporation
114. Enter the Host name of your running Domino Server. The port should only be changed
if your Domino HTTP task listens on another port. Enter the Domino Administrators
User ID and the password. In this example we use „Domino Admin“. Click the „Next“
button to continue.
Social Business 114 © 2010 IBM Corporation
115. On Windows it is standard to use the local Sametime Server for Slide Conversion. But
it is possible that you have a stand alone Slide Conversion server running. Then you
can fill this settings. In this example we just click the „Next“ button to continue.
Social Business 115 © 2010 IBM Corporation
116. Select the LDAP you want to use for the Sametime Community Server. In this
example we use the „Renovations AD LDAP“. (it is the only one we have).
Then click the „Next“ button to continue.
Social Business 116 © 2010 IBM Corporation
117. HTTP Tunneling is required if your Sametime Clients need to connect to your
Sametime Server through a Web Proxy or Reverse Proxy Server. But then
performance can be slower. Only enable HTTP tunneling when urgently required.
Then click the „Next“ button to continue.
Social Business 117 © 2010 IBM Corporation
118. Confirm all settings and then click the „Finish“ button.
Social Business 118 © 2010 IBM Corporation
119. You have now successfully created a deployment plan for your Sametime Community
Server.
The next step is to install the Sametime Community Server.
Social Business 119 © 2010 IBM Corporation
120. STEP EIGHT: Install the IBM Sametime Community
Server
Summary
In this step you install the IBM Lotus Sametime Community Server using the Sametime
System Console.
Before you can start the installation you need to quit the Lotus Domino Server first.
Enter the „quit“ command in the Lotus Domino Console and wait until the console
disappears.
Social Business 120 © 2010 IBM Corporation
121. Enter the „quit“ command in the Lotus Domino Console and wait until the console disappears.
Social Business 121 © 2010 IBM Corporation
122. When the Domino Console has disappeared you can open a new CMD line window and
navigate to the installation directory. In this example we use:
„cd C:InstallSametimeStandardServerServer“.
Then enter the command to start the installer „setupwin32.exe“
Social Business 122 © 2010 IBM Corporation
123. The Lotus Install Shield Wizard is starting up.
Confirm the English language or select your preferred language for the installer. Then
click the „OK“ button.

Social Business 125 © 2010 IBM Corporation
126. Accept the terms in the license agreement anc click the „Next“ button.
Social Business 126 © 2010 IBM Corporation
127. The Installer is checking whether the Domino ID has a password.
Social Business 127 © 2010 IBM Corporation
128. We want to install the Sametime Community Server using the predefined Deployment
Plan in the Sametime System Console. To go this way just accept the default „Yes“
answer and click the „Next“ button.
Social Business 128 © 2010 IBM Corporation
129. Enter the Host name of the Sametime System Console. In this example we use
„sametime.renovations.com“ because we have installed the SSC on this host.
The default port for communication is „9443“ (using SSL encryption) Port „9080“ would
be in use for unencrypted communication. The WebSphere Administrative User and
password is required. We use our standard user name „wasadmin“. The last field is
the local host name where you want to install your Sametime Community Server.
By default it just displays the host name. Add the domain to get the full qualified
hostname in the field. We use „chat.renovations.com“. Then click the „Next“ button.
Social Business 129 © 2010 IBM Corporation
130. Select the Deployment plan that you have created for your Community Server. We
use the „Chat Server“ plan. Then click the „Next“ button.
Social Business 130 © 2010 IBM Corporation
131. Crosscheck that all settings are correct. Then click the „Install“ button.
Social Business 131 © 2010 IBM Corporation
132. The Install Shield Wizzard is now installing the Lotus Sametime Community Server on
top of your existing Domino Server installation using the predefined Settings from the
Deployment Plan in the Sametime System Console. This step takes approximately 2 –
3 Minutes.
Social Business 132 © 2010 IBM Corporation
133. Important to know...
The Sametime Community Server Deployment Plan Guided Activity checks the
existence of the Domino Administrator user ID and that this user can authenticate
with its HTTP password.
Therefore it is required to install the Domino Server before the Sametime
Community Server Deployment Plan is created.
Later it is possible to change this credentials if the Domino Administrator user
changes. This can be done in the Sametime System Console.
Social Business 133 © 2010 IBM Corporation
134. Important to know...
The Sametime 8.5.2 Community Server reads the policy configuration from the
Sametime System Console during startup and then every hour.
(This can be configured)
The first startup of the Sametime Community Servers requires the SSC to get the
Policy configuration. Then it caches this data in the local „policies.user.xml“ file.
This can be found in the Domino program directory. This means the Sametime
Community Server can start and run even if the SSC is not available.
Social Business 134 © 2010 IBM Corporation
135. When the installation was successfully click the „Finish“ button.
Social Business 135 © 2010 IBM Corporation
136. Now you can start the Lotus Sametime Server by double click the Domino Server icon
on the desktop. If you have configured to start the Domino Server as a service you
can start the Service as well or restart the OS. Then the service should start up
automatically.
Social Business 136 © 2010 IBM Corporation
137. Confirm that all Sametime related Services (HTTP JVM and Sametime Services) start
up correctly. A full start of a Sametime Server with all tasks can take up to 5 Minutes.
You can check the „Task Manager“ and there the „Processes“ view to check that all
41 Tasks starting with the letters „ST...“ are started.
Social Business 137 © 2010 IBM Corporation
138. STEP NINE: Enable Trust between the Sametime
Community Server, the Sametime Proxy Server,
the Media Manager and the Sametime Advanced
Summary
Server
In this step you configure the Sametime Community Server to trust the Sametime
proxy Server.
The Sametime Proxy Server and Media Manager need to connect to the
Sametime Community Server on the Virtual Places (VP) Server Port 1516 to the
Sametime Community Server. Normally a Sametime Community Server only
allows this connection if the connecting server is known (another Sametime
Server in the same Community) or is trusted in the Trusted IP's field in the
configuration database.
Other Servers you need to trust can be Blackberry Servers, the Sametime
Gateway, Sametime Media Manager, Sametime Advanced Server, SUT Server,
WebSphere Portal Server or other servers who want to connect using the VP
Server protocoll.
Social Business 138 © 2010 IBM Corporation
139. Open the Sametime System Console, Log in and navigate to the Sametime
Community Server by clicking on „Sametime System Console“ then „Sametime
Servers“ and then „Sametime Community Servers“.
Social Business 139 © 2010 IBM Corporation
140. Click the link to your Community Server. We click on „Chat Server“ because this is
our name for the Community Server Deployment Plan. The „Edit“ link allows you to
change the authentication credentials to the Sametime Community Server (Domino
Administrator Username, Password and Port)
Social Business 140 © 2010 IBM Corporation
141. The Sametime Community Server configuration screen appears. Go to the bottom of the
screen to find the „Trusted Servers“ Setting.
Social Business 141 © 2010 IBM Corporation
142. Enter the IP address of the Server you want to allow connecting to the Sametime
Community Server. In this example we use the IP „192.168.30.30“ for the Sametime
proxy Server and then click the “Add” Button.
Now we add the IP “192.168.30.40” for the Sametime Advanced Server and then click
the “Add” Button.
Social Business 142 © 2010 IBM Corporation
143. Last is to add the IP “192.168.30.10” for the Sametime Media Manager Server and
then click the “Add” Button.
We have now added all required IP addresses for this pilot deployment. Now click
“OK” to continue.
Social Business 143 © 2010 IBM Corporation
144. The Sametime Community Server requires a Server restart for most of the configuration
changes.
Now restart the Sametime Community Server by entering the command „restart server“
in the Domino Console window. Never use this command in a production Sametime
server because it can happen that not all Sametime tasks are stopped before the
domino server restarts. This can cause massive problems for starting the Sametime
Services. Stop your Domino Server using the “Quit” command or by stopping the
“Lotus Domino Service”. Wait until all ST... Tasks disappeared in your TaskManager.
Then restart the Domino Server again.
It takes up to 5 Minutes until the Sametime Community Server is completely
restarted and all 41 Sametime tasks are again active.
Social Business 144 © 2010 IBM Corporation
145. STEP TEN: Run the guided activity to configure the
IBM Sametime Proxy Server deployment plan

148. We want to install the actual version 8.5.2. just click the „Next“ button to continue.
Social Business 148 © 2010 IBM Corporation
149. The default setting is „Primary Node“ that we use this example. If you plan to
implement the Sametime Proxy Server in a standalone environment, then select
„Cell“. Note that it is not possible to implement a Cell Profile and a Network
Deployment on the same box.
Click „Next“ to continue.
Social Business 149 © 2010 IBM Corporation
150. A “Primary Node” can be federated to an existing Deployment Manager. We
want to federate our environment to the Deployment Manager of our Sametime
System Console. Select the “Systemconsole...”.
Click „Next“ to continue.
Social Business 150 © 2010 IBM Corporation
151. Enter the full qualified host name of your proxy server. In this example we use
„webchat.renovations.com“. Enter a WebSphere administrative user name and its
password twice. We just use the standard „wasadmin“ name.
Click the „Next“ button to continue.
Social Business 151 © 2010 IBM Corporation
152. Select the Community Server you want your Proxy Server to connect to. You need to
connect only to one Community Server. The Proxy Server gets information about
other Servers in the community and connects to this servers automatic. (Don't forget
to enable trust on the other servers as well) In this example we just select the „Chat
Server“. Then click „Next“ to continue.
Social Business 152 © 2010 IBM Corporation
153. Control your settings and if all is correct click the „Finish“ button to save the new
deployment plan.
Social Business 153 © 2010 IBM Corporation
154. We have now successfully created our Sametime Proxy Server deployment plan.
Social Business 154 © 2010 IBM Corporation
155. STEP ELEVEN: Install the IBM Sametime Proxy
Server using the predefined deployment plan
Summary
This step installs the Sametime Proxy Server using the pre-defined Deployment
plan in the Sametime System Console.
Social Business 155 © 2010 IBM Corporation
156. Navigate to the Installation Directory and start the launchpad installer. We use a

Just click the „Next“ button to continue.
Social Business 164 © 2010 IBM Corporation
165. With IBM Sametime 8.5.2 it is possible to install Sametime on top of an existing
Websphere 7.0.0.15 Server. We don't want to do this in this pilot deployment.
Just click “Next” to continue.
Social Business 165 © 2010 IBM Corporation
166. Enter the Sametime System Console Server information and credentials to authenticate.
In our example we use „sametime.renovations.com“ as SSC Server name and
„wasadmin“ as the WebSphere Administrative User name. The last field is the host
name where we want to install the Sametime Proxy Server. Here we use
„webchat.renovations.com“. Then click the „Validate“ button to check the connection
to the System Console Server.
Social Business 166 © 2010 IBM Corporation
167. The connection to the Sametime System Console was successful when the button text
„Validate“ changes to „Validated“. Click the „Next“ button to continue.
Social Business 167 © 2010 IBM Corporation
168. Select your Sametime Proxy Server Deployment plan that you have created in the
previous step. We use our „Proxy Server“. Then click the „Next“ button to continue.
Social Business 168 © 2010 IBM Corporation
169. Control your settings again and then click the „Next“ button to continue.
Social Business 169 © 2010 IBM Corporation
171. The Sametime Proxy Server is now installing. This step takes approximately 30 to 45
minutes if installing as first WebSphere instance on a Server. If you install the proxy
Server as second Sametime Component on top of another Sametime Server (SSC or
Media Manager) it takes only 10 to 15 minutes because the WebSphere binaries are
already installed.
Social Business 171 © 2010 IBM Corporation
172. The Sametime Proxy Server Installer creates the WebSphere Profiles.
Then it installs the Sametime Proxy application and configures everything.
Social Business 172 © 2010 IBM Corporation
173. Important to know...
The Sametime Proxy Server:
● does not need a Database
● does not need a LDAP connection
● is just a Web Interface for browser access to the Sametime Community Services
●Web based Sametime Connect Client
● supplies the new Web API for Web based application integration
● can be implemented with or without the SSC
● can be connected to existing older Sametime Servers
● can be connected to a community cluster
You can have one or more Proxies in your organization
You can implement one or more Proxies and cluster them
● using the WebSphere Cluster Method (Network Deployment)
● individual Proxies with a Load Balancer or RRDNS in front of them
By default the Sametime Proxy Server installs to use Port 9080 and 9443 (SSL).
If you want to use Port 80 and 443 you need to enter the Sametime Proxy ISC on
Port 8600 and change the port settings in the Application Server. Do this change
when the installation has finished successfully.

178. STEP TWELVE: Post Install Tasks for the IBM
Sametime Proxy Server
Summary
This step configures the Sametime Proxy Server to start up automatically when
the OS is restarted and to bin to its own IP „192.168.30.30“and Hostname
„webchat.renovations.com“.
Social Business 178 © 2010 IBM Corporation
179. After the installation only the Sametime Proxy Server Service is created.
To create the service for the nodeagent we first need the path to the ProxyServer
profile. Use the File explorer and navigate to the right directory. In our example it is
“C:IBMWebSphereAppServerprofileswebchatSTPPNProfile1”. Mark the
address and copy it to the clip board with Ctrl-C.
Social Business 179 © 2010 IBM Corporation
180. Now open a CMD-Line window and navigate to the WebSphere Application Server
binaries Directory. In our Pilot this is “C:IBMWebSphereAppServerbin”.
Social Business 180 © 2010 IBM Corporation
181. Now you need to enter a long command to create the service. For the path copy the path
from the clipboard.
wasservice -add STProxyServer_NA -serverName nodeagent
-profilePath C:IBMWebSphereAppServerprofileswebchatSTPPNProfile1
-stopArgs “-username wasservice -password passw0rd” -encodeParams
Check that the service was created successfully. If something is wrong use the
“wasservice -remove” command to remove your wrongly created service.
Do not copy and paste any commands from this document into your CMD line. This does not
work because this would copy some special characters.
Social Business 181 © 2010 IBM Corporation
182. Now we need to configure the dependencies. The nodeagent needs to be started first –
before the Sametime Proxy Server. For that we need the exact name of the service.
Open the Services view and then open the properties window of the Sametime Proxy
Server service. Take the Service Name from here.
Social Business 182 © 2010 IBM Corporation
183. Go back to your CMD-Line window, and enter the command:
Sc config “IBMWAS70Service – STProxyServer” depend= “IBMWAS70Service –
STProxyServer_NA”
Check that the change in the service configuration was successfull.
Do not copy and paste any commands from this document into your CMD line. This does not
work because this would copy some special characters.
Social Business 183 © 2010 IBM Corporation
184. If you now check the Dependencies of your Sametime proxy Server, then you see
that it depends on the Sametime Proxy Server nodeagent.
Social Business 184 © 2010 IBM Corporation
185. We have the Deployment Manager of the Cell and the Proxy Server on the same box, so we
can configure another dependency. Go back to your CMD-Line window and enter the
command:
Sc config “IBMWAS70Service – STProxyServer_NA” depend= “IBMWAS70Service –
STConsoleServer_DM”
Do not copy and paste any commands from this document into your CMD line. This does not
work because this would copy some special characters.
Social Business 185 © 2010 IBM Corporation
186. Now we have configured the nodeagent of our proxy server to be only started when the
DMGR of your Cell is started.
Social Business 186 © 2010 IBM Corporation
187. Now we need to configure the Sametime Proxy Server to listen on its own IP address and
host name only. This needs to be done in the Integrated Solutions Console.
We need to create a Virtual Hosts configuration
first. Click on “Environment” and then on
“Virtual Hosts”
Social Business 187 © 2010 IBM Corporation
188. Now we want to add our own virtual hosts configuration by clicking the “New” button.
Social Business 188 © 2010 IBM Corporation
189. Enter a name for the new virtual hosts configuration. We use “STProxy_host”. Then
click the “OK” button.
Social Business 189 © 2010 IBM Corporation
190. Now we open our new created virtual hosts configuration.
Social Business 190 © 2010 IBM Corporation
191. We click the “Host aliases” link on the right side.
Social Business 191 © 2010 IBM Corporation
192. Now we want to bind our ports to the host name. So we click the “New” button to create a
new alias.
Social Business 192 © 2010 IBM Corporation
193. Now we enter the hostname “webchat.renovations.com” and the Port “9081”. Then we click
the “OK” button.
Social Business 193 © 2010 IBM Corporation
194. We need another Host alias configuration so we click just again the “New” button
Social Business 194 © 2010 IBM Corporation
195. Then we enter again “webchat.renovations.com” and the Port “9444”.
Now we click the “OK” Button.
Social Business 195 © 2010 IBM Corporation
196. We need another Host alias configuration so we click just again the “New” button
Social Business 196 © 2010 IBM Corporation
197. Then we enter again “webchat.renovations.com” and the Port “80”.
Now we click the “OK” Button.
Social Business 197 © 2010 IBM Corporation
198. We need another Host alias configuration so we click just again the “New” button
Social Business 198 © 2010 IBM Corporation
199. Then we enter again “webchat.renovations.com” and the Port “443”.
Now we click the “OK” Button.
Social Business 199 © 2010 IBM Corporation
200. Now it is time to save the configuration changes. Just click the “Save” link in the top.
Social Business 200 © 2010 IBM Corporation
201. Next step is to configure the Sametime Proxy application to use the newly creates
STProxy_host definition.
Click on “Applications” - “Application Types” - “WebSphere enterprise applications”
Social Business 201 © 2010 IBM Corporation
204. In all application modules select our newly created “STProxy_host” definition and then
click the “OK” button.
Social Business 204 © 2010 IBM Corporation
205. Now we should save this configuration change by clicking the “Save” link in the top of the
screen.
Social Business 205 © 2010 IBM Corporation
206. Now we need to bind the Ports in the Sametime Proxy Server to the hostname
webchat.renovations.com. For this click on “Servers” - “Server Types” - “WebSphere
application servers”.
Social Business 206 © 2010 IBM Corporation
208. On the right side a little down, you find the “Ports” link. Just click this link now.
Social Business 208 © 2010 IBM Corporation
209. We want to change the “WC_defaulthost” setting first. So click this link.
Social Business 209 © 2010 IBM Corporation
211. Then click the “WC_defaulthost_secure” link.
Social Business 211 © 2010 IBM Corporation
213. Now it is time to save the last changes. Click the “Save” link here.
Social Business 213 © 2010 IBM Corporation
214. We need to restart the Sametime Proxy Server for the changes can take effect.
Easiest way is to set all services to “Automatic” and restart the operating system.
Then wait until all services have started. Check in your Task Manager that you can see 5
Java.exe tasks, consuming huge amount of memory, running.

215. STEP THIRTEEN: Create the IBM Sametime Meeting
Server database
Summary
In this step you create the second DB2 Database that is required for the
Sametime Meeting Server.
Social Business 215 © 2010 IBM Corporation
216. In a CMD command line window navigate to the Sametime Meeting Server
installation directory. We use the „cd
InstallSametimeMeetingServerDatabaseScriptsMeetingServer“ command.
Then enter the command to create the Meeting Database. We use the Database
name „STMS“ and enter the command: „createMeetingDb.bat STMS db2admin“
The name of the database should not be the name of the Sametime Meeting Server. If your
Meeting Server is named „stms.renovations.com“ then you can not name the database
STMS. Then you need to use another name for example „STMSDB“. In this example we use
„meeting.renovations.com“. So we dont have any issue with the Database Name „STMS“.
Social Business 216 © 2010 IBM Corporation
217. The Database creation takes approximately 2 – 3 minutes. You should confirm that
the database is created and configured successfully. Check that you find the message
„The SQL command completed successfully“ after every command.
Social Business 217 © 2010 IBM Corporation
218. STEP FOURTEEN: Configure the “Connect to DB2
Database” prerequisite for the Sametime
Meeting Server Database
Summary
In this step you configure the connection to the Sametime Meeting Server
Database on your DB2 Server.
Social Business 218 © 2010 IBM Corporation
219. In your Sametime System Console click on „Sametime System Console“
then „Sametime Prerequisites“ and then „Connect to DB2 Database“.
