Case-sensitivity for the client

IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5.1

Release Notes

By default, the client is case-sensitive, but can be made case-insensitive by updating the plugin_customization.ini file with the value below, and restarting the client:

com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.people/isCaseInsensitive=false

The plugin_customization.ini file is located directly inside the installation directory.

Sametime

Case insensitive ID compare

The Sametime server, by default, is case-sensitive; now it can be configured to be case-insensitive. Case-insensitive ID comparison allows IM awareness in Domino Web Access and Portal. This configuration is made by changing the sametime.ini file as follows:

In the [Config] section add AWARENESS_CASE_SENSITIVE=0

zBy default the value of this configuration flag is 1, and the Sametime server is case-sensitive,

zWhen you set this flag to 0, the Sametime server is case-insensitive

zYou must shutdown and restart the Sametime server for the change to take effect.

It is recommended that the Sametime Client be configured to support this feature.

Collecting Resolve statistics

To configure the server to collect Resolve statistics please follow these steps:

1.Make sure the StStatistics service is installed and running.

2.Add the following flag to the sametime.ini file under the [Debug] section:

VPSTATISTICS_RESOLVE=1

3.Restart StStatistics and StResolve.

The statistics data will be written to a file called STStatistics_<date>_<time>.txt under the Trace folder.

Please refer to the "Resolve statistics" item of the 'New features in IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5.1' document in these release notes for additional details about statistics data collected for Resolve operations.

Configurable preferred log-in list

If a user is connected with several different clients, and another user is initializing an IM session, it is unclear which client should receive the IM session.

The default implementation is contingent on the hard-coded list of client types; each type has its predefined weight. In the server, all the logins of the same user are ordered according to the login type weight. When there is an incoming IM session, the first login (having minimal weight) is taken from the list; and the session is sent to it.

Default order: 0x1304, 0x1100, 0x1003, 0x1002, 0x1000, 0x1001

The new ability presented in Sametime 7.5.1, make it easy to change the default login types order. Use the VPS_PREFERRED_LOGIN_TYPES flag in the sametime.ini file to provide an additional list of login types. The login types from this list will always be "more important" than the default login types. The list
