If you are using Novell Messenger as your instant messaging solution, you can configure Novell Vibe to display a user’s Messenger presence information. For information about where presence information is displayed in Vibe, see Sending an Instant Message from within Vibe
in the Novell Vibe 3.4 User Guide.
When you click a user’s presence icon, the Profile Quick View is displayed, which enables you to send an instant message to the user, view the user’s personal workspace, follow the user, and more.
In order to configure Messenger presence to be displayed in Vibe, you need the following information about the Messenger system during the Vibe installation:
Server address: Specify the IP address or DNS hostname of the messaging agent for your Messenger system.
Port: Specify the port number.
Server user: Specify the fully typed, comma-delimited context username of the Allowed Service User that you want to log in to the Messenger system and retrieve presence information.
For example, cn=vibesvc,o=acme
For more information about the Allowed Service User, see Integrating Novell Vibe with Novell Messenger
in the Novell Messenger 2.2 Administration Guide.
Password: Specify the password for the Allowed Service User that you want to log in to the Messenger system and retrieve presence information.
For more information about the Allowed Service User, see Integrating Novell Vibe with Novell Messenger
in the Novell Messenger 2.2 Administration Guide.
Server Certificate: Browse to and select the Messaging Agent’s SSL certificate. Vibe uses this certificate to identify the Messenger server.
If Messenger is installed on a separate server, copy the certificate from the Messenger server and place it in a location on the Vibe server that can be reached from the Vibe installation program.
The certificate is located in the following directory on the Messenger server:
|
Linux: |
/opt/novell/messenger/certs |
|
Windows: |
c:\Novell\Messenger\certs |
To remove the certificate after you have already selected it, click Browse > Cancel.
