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

Sametime Awareness through the Sametime Client

Open profiles-config.xml and locate the sametimeAwareness element

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

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 "\bin\32bits\mod_was_ap22_http.dll"
WebSpherePluginConfig "\config\webserver1\plugin-cfg.xml"

Add these proxy rules above WebSpherePluginConfig
ProxyPass /stwebclient http://:/stwebclient
ProxyPass /stwebapi http://:/stwebapi
ProxyPass /stbaseapi http://:/stbaseapi
ProxyPassReverse /stwebclient http://:/stwebclient
ProxyPassReverse /stwebapi http://:/stwebapi
ProxyPassReverse /stbaseapi http://:/stbaseapi
ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain http://: ibm.com
ProxyPassReverseCookiePath / /

Save and close httpd.conf

Restart IHS

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

Test awareness and chat in Connections

Log in to Connections
