DOMINO SERVER INSTALLATION


Customizing STLinks files for tunneling or reverse proxy servers
If your IBM® Lotus® Sametime® server is configured for tunneling or if you are using reverse proxy servers in your environment, you may need to customize some files on both your IBM® Lotus® iNotes™ server and your Sametime server.

Using a custom port for tunneling

If the Sametime server is configured for tunneling on port other than 8082, you must modify the stlinks.js file on both the Sametime server and the Lotus iNotes server.

1. Locate the following directory on your Sametime server. This directory contains both the stlinks.js file and the hostinfo.js file.


2. Copy the following two lines from the Hostinfo.js file to the beginning of the stlinks.js file (by default, there are only 2 lines in the Hostinfo.js file):
3. Save the updated stlinks.js file on the Sametime server.
4. Copy the updated stlinks.js file from the Sametime server to the Lotus iNotes server, replacing the existing stlinks.js file in <Domino_data_directory>\domino\html\sametime\stlinks.
Using reverse proxy servers

If your network environment uses reverse proxy servers to protect the identities of servers behind a firewall, you may need to modify the stlinks.js file on both the Lotus iNotes server and the Sametime server.

You must modify the stlinks.js file if you want Lotus iNotes users to be able to connect to the Sametime community inside the Intranet even if they are outside the firewall. Stlinks.js is located in the following directory on each server:


Two variables that provide reverse proxy support are included in stlinks.js:
To enable reverse proxy support, the server administrator must replace the defaults with appropriate values and uncomment the lines. For example:
Make sure you update the stlinks.js file on both the Lotus iNotes server and the Sametime server.

For more information about reverse proxy support, see the IBM Lotus Sametime 8.0.x Information Center.

Once you have customized the contents of the stlinks.js files, there are some issues related to future server upgrades that you need to be aware of:


Additional setting for the Lotus iNotes Instant Contacts client

If you are using a reverse proxy servers in your environment, you need to edit the servlets.properties file installed in the Lotus iNotes server's data directory and specify the name of the Sametime server.

1. Open the servlets.properties file (in the Lotus iNotes server's data directory), using a text editor.

2. Add the line below, where sametime.yourdomain.com is the name of the Sametime server. You can also specify IP address instead of the fully qualified domain name (FQDN).


3. Save and close the file, and then restart the server.
