The document outlines the integration of IBM Connections 3.0.1.1 with IBM Sametime 8.5.2, detailing the requirements and configurations necessary for Sametime awareness through both the client and server. It provides steps for enabling features such as single sign-on and proxy server configurations, as well as testing awareness and chat functionalities. Additionally, it includes links to relevant resources and documentation for further guidance.

6. Sametime Awareness through the Sametime Client
Connects to mini http server in Connect client
Client must be 8.0.2 or above
Browser connects over http to the local client listening on 59449
Presence awareness can be retrieved over SSL for:
Sametime 8.5 or later standalone client
Notes 8.5.1 or later embedded client
User must be logged into Sametime from the same machine where
they access Connections

7. Sametime Awareness through the Sametime Client
Open profiles-config.xml and locate the sametimeAwareness element
Set enabled to true
Set ssl_href port to 59669 if sending traffic over SSL (Sametime 8.5 and above)
Check in profiles-config.xml, sync and restart Profiles
Awareness shown in users profile and business card
Start chat from business card or clicking awareness icon in profile page

8. Sametime Awareness through the Sametime Server
Requirements:
Profiles application of IBM Connections
Domino® Server 8.5 or later
Sametime Community Server 8.5.1 or later
Sametime Proxy Server 8.5.1 or 8.5.2
ST 8.5.1 proxy server environments cannot be set up with SSO:
Tivoli® Access Manager, Computer Associates' SiteMinder, or Windows™ desktop.
ST 8.5.2 environments supports SSO with any security proxies that are supported by both Sametime and IBM
Connections.
IBM Sametime Community Server 8.5.1 environments, must configure server in front of Connections to
proxy Sametime requests (IHS, Edge, etc.). Not required with Sametime 8.5.2 IFR1

9. Sametime Awareness through the Sametime Server
Settings to use Connect Client when available
Enable Sametime Connect Client WEB APIs
Check status - http://localhost:59449/stwebapi/listservices
Required Sametime Connect Client WEB APIs
LoggedIn, mystatus, setstatus, rename, announce, startmeeting, chat, call
Enable by adding the following to Sametime Connect Client plugin_customization.ini file
ADD com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.webapi/<place API name here>Enabled=true
Or to enable all Web Apis
ADD com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.webapi/enableAllWebApisOverride=true

11. Testing SSO between Connections and Sametime
Always verify SSO in both directions
Log in to IBM Connections – http://<connections-server>/homepage
Verify same user is logged in to Sametime –
http://<sametime-server>/stwebclient/popup.jsp
Clear cookies
Try the reverse
Log in to Sametime
Verify user is logged into Connections

12. Configure the IBM HTTP Server for ST 8.5.1 and earlier
Not required with 8.5.2 IFR1
Configure IHS in front of Connections to act as a proxy server for awareness and
chat between the client and STProxy server
Configurations steps:
Open IHS httpd.conf
Uncomment the following modules:
LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
Add the following to the end of the conf file (they may already exist)
LoadModule was_ap22_module "<PATH_TO_IHS_PLUGINS>bin32bitsmod_was_ap22_http.dll"
WebSpherePluginConfig "<PATH_TO_IHS_PLUGINS>configwebserver1plugin-cfg.xml"
Add these proxy rules above WebSpherePluginConfig
ProxyPass /stwebclient http://<stproxy-hostname>:<port>/stwebclient
ProxyPass /stwebapi http://<stproxy-hostname>:<port>/stwebapi
ProxyPass /stbaseapi http://<stproxy-hostname>:<port>/stbaseapi
ProxyPassReverse /stwebclient http://<stproxy-hostname>:<port>/stwebclient
ProxyPassReverse /stwebapi http://<stproxy-hostname>:<port>/stwebapi
ProxyPassReverse /stbaseapi http://<stproxy-hostname>:<port>/stbaseapi
ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain http://<stproxy-hostname>:<port> ibm.com
ProxyPassReverseCookiePath / /
Save and close httpd.conf
Restart IHS

13. Enable Connections configuration with STProxy
Check out uiextension-config.xml and edit
Enable the global.pageRendering and lc.IMAwareness extensions
Enable isConnectClient to use Connect client when available
Set the lconnProxySvcUrl and lconnProxySvcUrlSSL parameters with the
hostname of the Sametime Server (requires 8.5.2 IFR1)
Save and check in uiextensions-config.xml
Update the value of the version stamp to force users' browsers to pick up this
change
Sync nodes and restart server

14. Test awareness and chat in Connections
Log in to Connections
Sametime widget displayed at the bottom right corner of the browser
Change Sametime status
Disconnect from Sametime
Launch Sametime web client
View a users profile to check their Sametime status
Load a users business card anywhere in Connections to view
their status or launch chat
