12.1 Integrating Messenger with Vibe

Vibe 3 and later lets you integrate with GroupWise Messenger 2.2 and later. This integration displays a user’s Messenger presence information within Vibe. For information about where presence information is displayed in Vibe, see Sending an Instant Message from within Vibe in the OpenText Vibe 4.0.8 User Guide.

When you click a user’s presence icon, the Profile Quick View is displayed, which lets you send an instant message to the user, view the user’s personal workspace, follow the user, and more.

To successfully integrate GroupWise Messenger with Vibe, you must complete the following tasks:

12.1.1 Defining an Allowed Service User in ConsoleOne

The Allowed Service User’s function is to log in to the Messenger system and retrieve presence information, which is then displayed in Vibe.

For information about how to create an Allowed Service User in ConsoleOne, see Integrating Vibe with GroupWise Messenger in the GroupWise Messenger 18 Administration Guide

12.1.2 Configuring Messenger Integrations in the Vibe Installation Program

After you have defined an Allowed Service User in ConsoleOne, as described in Integrating Vibe with GroupWise Messenger in the GroupWise Messenger 18 Administration Guide, you need to run the Vibe installation program and configure Messenger.

For information about the presence configuration page in the Vibe installation program, see Configuring Presence in the OpenText Vibe 4.0.8 Installation Guide.
