8.2 Integrating Conferencing with Vibe

Novell Vibe enables you to integrate with Novell Conferencing, so that Vibe users can easily set up instant Conferencing meetings with other Vibe users, as described in Using Novell Conferencing with Novell Vibe in Connecting With Your Co-Workers in the Novell Vibe OnPrem 3 User Guide.

Users who start Novell Conferencing meetings within Vibe must be licensed Novell Conferencing users. Meeting attendees do not need to be licensed Novell Conferencing users.

8.2.1 Specifying the Conferencing Server in the Vibe Installation Program

To integrate your Vibe system with Conferencing, you need to specify the Conferencing server when you run the Vibe installation program. For specific instructions, see Configuring Conferencing in Advanced Installation and Reconfiguration in the Kablink Vibe OnPrem 3 Installation Guide.

8.2.2 Specifying a Conferencing ID and Password for Your Users

For users to use Conferencing with Vibe as described in Using Novell Conferencing with Novell Vibe in Connecting With Your Co-Workers in the Novell Vibe OnPrem 3 User Guide, the Conferencing ID and Conferencing Password fields must be populated in each user’s profile. You can populate these fields through LDAP, or you can rely on users to populate the fields for themselves.

Populating Conferencing ID and Password Fields through LDAP

If you have Conferencing username and password attributes defined in your LDAP directory, you can populate the Conferencing ID and Conferencing Password fields for all users in your Vibe system by synchronizing these fields with your LDAP directory. For more information, see Section 16.1.2, Synchronizing Additional LDAP Attributes.

Requiring Users to Manually Populate Conferencing ID and Password Fields

You can require users to manually populate the Conferencing ID and Conferencing Password fields in their individual user profiles.

For information about how users can manually populate these fields, see Specifying Your Conferencing ID and Password in the Novell Vibe OnPrem 3 User Guide.
