Sametime Help - Can't Find Server

We have received Sametime 3.1 as part of the new free deal, and I did the following :

  1. Upgraded Domino to 6.51

  2. Restarted Domino - seemed ok, everything running.

  3. Downed Domino, and installed Sametime 3.1 on same server (I am told this should be ok) and also ran the ‘interim 3.1 fix’ supplied .

  4. Restarted Domino - all seemed ok, and I can now see ‘Sametime Server Running’ when I show tasks.

Unfortunately, I cannot get my client (v 6.51) to find the server whenever I try to log on to instant messaging.

I have tried common server name , fully qualified internet host name of the server, and full name of server (e.g. cn=xxx,o=xxx etc) in both my current location document and my person document in the Notes directory. However, whenever I try to connect, I get an error dialog box with a message in a grey box ‘Invalid Password’, followed by ‘Instant messaging server name not found’.

Also, the server document in the Directory now has a ‘Sametime’ tab, but it is completely blank.

I accepted the install default settings for Sametime - and my client location document is set (‘Instant Messaging’ tab) to ‘Direct connection using IBM Lotus Instant Messaging protocol’ on port 1533).

I am doing something wrong. What?

Any help gratefully received.

ps. If we ever get it working, can we get users to auto log on to IM rather than a separate log in box once they open the notes client?

TIA

Tim

Tim,

I suppose it actually is the servername. The problem is that you need to have the correct servername in the server document too. Most likely you haven’t entered the fully qualified DNS name (internet host name) into the server document.

Have fun,

Stephan

You are running an unsupported configuration - ST3.1 is not supported to run on top of Domino 6.5.1. I tried this, and experienced the same problems. I had to re-install Domino using 6.0.2CF2 and Sametime. This resolved my problem.HTH
