IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 Release Notes
Case-sensitivity for the client
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
z By default the value of this configuration flag is 1, and the Sametime server is case-sensitive,
z When you set this flag to 0, the Sametime server is case-insensitive
z You 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
