LN 8.5 silent installation and unattended user setup

I need your experience regarding silent installation and unattended user setup in Lotus-Notes 8.5

My goal is to do a Lotus Notes 8.5 “First-Time-Setup” without any user interaction.

  1. At fist time start up of Lotus Notes 8.5 the Client should come up automatically without any prompt.

  2. Instant Messaging should also login automatically using client SSO (Token based single sign on)

In R7 it works very well

I create an mst file and add some notes.ini parameters as you see below:


My Notes.ini before Lotus-Notes first time Setup

[Notes]

ConfigFile=C:\lotus\notes\data\config.txt

IM_USE_CANONICAL_NAME=1

IM_ENABLE_SSO=1

KitType=1

Directory=C:\lotus\notes\data

InstallType=6


My config.txt file looks like this:

Username=USERID

Keyfilename=c:\lotus\notes\data\USERID.id

Domino.Name=MyHome/Server

Domino.Address=MyHome.serer.dns.name.com

Domino.Port=TCPIP

Domino.Server=1

AdditionalServices=0

AdditionalServices.NetworkDial=0

Replication.Threshold=9999

Replication.Schedule=0

IM.Server=MySametime/Server

IM.Port=1533

IM.ConnectWhen=0

IM.Protocol=0


Using this information Notes R7 and IM starts up first time without any prompt.

But i despair in Lotus Notes 8.5

The First-Time Setup works well, without any prompt. But IM will not login automatically.

In Lotus Notes 8.5 i have to setup manually IM (Server Communities, Authentication server, Use token based single sign on, automatically login and other settings)

How can i prepare the config file or the notes.ini or what ever that IM logs in automatically using client SSO during First-Time setup ?

Seems that the config file variables are changed ?

Please push me in the right direction

Best regards

Dominik

Subject: Solution

Installation package’s setup.txt file will need following lines:

IM.Server=SametimeServerName

IM.ConnectWhen=0 (at Notes logon)

IM.Protocol=0 (Directly to Lotus Instant Messaging server)

In add on we will need following desktop policy → Custom Settings → Managed Settings as the customer’s domino

server.

Example: [item]=[value];[Plug-in Name]

host=SametimeServerName;com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.community

loginByToken=true; com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.community

authServerUrl=SametimeServerName; com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.community

loginAtStartup=true; com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.community

autologin=true; com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.login

After the Desktop policy is deployed to the client my IM/ST is using SSO and login/start automatically at Lotus-Notes startup
