NEED ADVICE: Notes 8.5 Integrated Sametime Deployment

I am looking for a way to enable the integrated Sametime client to 1800 users. We currently use the Standard 8.5 Notes Client, I want to enable the 3 check mark boxes in the Connectivity for Sametime Window: Remember password, Auto Log-in, and Use token based SSO, with out end user interaction.I have opened 2 tickets with IBM to find out that these options can not be enabled with Domino policies, because they will not enforce on the eclipse based client, the polcies do work on the basic client and lower versions.

I have also learned these options can not be enabled using any Notes.ini setting or using the plugin_customization.ini settings. My application developer also tells me he is not able to create any script that enables this options via a button, or something similar. I find it hard to believe there is no way in Domino to enable 1800 users with Sametime, other then send them out instructions and screen shots to do this themselves.

If anyone else has run into this problem, and may have some advice I would be most grateful.

I understand this is more a Sametime issue then Notes client, however they are very integrated, and I have posted this question to the Sametime boards as well. But I figured the more eyes that read this the better my chances.

Thanks for your time

We have similar users base and we got instructions send to the users on how to do it. So far no issues…

I figured the instructions would work as a last resort, but with the size of a user base I have, it will just happen that some people will not follow the instructions. Or it will generate extra help desk tickets. I was hoping to have way to do this with out user interaction needed. This is the lastest Version of Domino, setting 3 check mark boxes should be simple. Sending instructions with screen shots is so Release 4.

Subject: We had some mixed success with

editing the xml in the data folder of the user:

C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Lotus\Notes\Data\workspace.metadata.plugins\com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.login

Usually we get the 2 boxes right away but the user has to trigger the first login.
