Set up a connection by choosing either the AOL instant messenger
community or the AOL clearinghouse
community, but not both. The AOL clearinghouse is a superset of the AOL instant messenger
community.
Before you begin
You must set up SSL prior to connecting to an AOL community.
About this task
When you set up a connection with AOL, you have the option of connecting
with AOL users
only, or connecting with the AOL clearinghouse community that includes AOL, ICQ, iChat,
and other users from AOL Enterprise
Federation Partner communities, including external Sametime® communities. IBM® recommends that you do not configure
both communities, as users served by the AOL clearinghouse are a superset
of users served by the AOL community.
If you set up AOL only,
and later decide to connect with the AOL clearinghouse community, delete the AOL community
first before adding the AOL clearinghouse community to Sametime Gateway.
