Sametime Policy for Anonymous user

If Anonymous user access is allowed by a Sametime administrator, a specific policy needs to be provided for anonymous users. A new "Anonymous" policy set is provided in the stpolicy.ntf template; it includes the same attribute set as any other specific policy.

The Sametime server installation process establishes stpolicy.nsf. As a result, this data storage includes two built-in policy documents: the Default policy set and the Anonymous user policy set.

Using Policy API, the Admin UI Policies page shows the policy rules and assignments. The Administrator can create new user policy sets and assign users and groups to them. The Administrator is unable to delete the necessary policy sets (Default and Anonymous) and to assign users/groups to them as well.

If an Administrator does not intend to apply a specific policy to an anonymous user, they can set all of the Anonymous policy attribute values as inherited from the Default policy set. Then, an Anonymous user will get the default policies applied.

Even if administrator marks some attribute in the Default policy set as "Override all policies", the same attribute in the Anonymous policy set gets its own policy value, since the Anonymous policy is designed to be stricter than any other policy as well as that the Default policy.

STPolicy exhaustive search through Domino Directory

The NOTES_NAME_LOOKUP_EXHAUSTIVE flag in the [Policy] section of the sametime.ini file indicates which kind of Directory search is used. If NOTES_NAME_LOOKUP_EXHAUSTIVE=1 is set, STPolicy Notes BlackBox performs an exhaustive memberOf search through all the NABs, both local and those referred by da.nsf.

Otherwise, when either NOTES_NAME_LOOKUP_EXHAUSTIVE=0, or is not provided, only the local names.nsf is searched.

Sametime

User Consent framework

The Sametime server, by default, allows external users to watch internal users; now it can be configured so that, by default, all external users are not allowed to watch internal users. This configuration is made by changing the sametime.ini file as follows:

In the [Config] section add AWARENESS_EXTERNAL_NEED_PERMISSION=1

zBy default the value of this configuration flag is 0, and the Sametime server allows external users to watch internal users

zWhen you set this flag to 1, by default, all external users are not allowed to watch internal users

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

In the Sametime UIM client, when an external user subscribes to watch an internal user, the internal Sametime UIM client user will be notified by the server, and can decide whether or not to allow the external user to watch their status, and be able to start a chat.
