If you acquired licenses for IBM® Sametime® using the IBM Passport Advantage® website, then
register your IBM Sametime Gateway directly
using the Sametime Provisioning
Application.
Before you begin
Before you begin, collect the following information:
- The primary contact for your site. The primary contact is the
person who is entering into the Passport Advantage or Passport Advantage Express® contractual relationship
with IBM on behalf of your company. IBM communicates directly with this
person on issues such as Agreement modification and so forth. This
person may be a procurement or purchasing professional.
- Your Passport
Advantage site number.
- Your IBM Sametime Gateway Server
name. This can be any name that you assign to Sametime Gateway
Server Gateway Server.
- Your Sametime Gateway
Server Gateway
Server host name.
- Your Sametime Gateway
Server Gateway
Server port number.
- Your Sametime Gateway
Server Gateway
Server SSL certificate common name.
- Your Sametime Gateway
Server Gateway
Server SSL certificate issuer (VeriSign, Comodo, Thawte, and so on).
- An email address for you to be notified when provisioned.
- The Sametime community
domains that you want to expose to the instant messaging service.
Procedure
- Navigate to the The Sign in page for the Sametime Provisioning Application to
access the Sametime Provisioning
Application.
- Type your IBM ID
and password:
- If you do not have an IBM ID
and password, click the register link. You
receive your web identity when you complete the registration.
- If your web identity is not affiliated with a Passport Online
Advantage site, you will be redirected to a self-nomination site
where you should use the information you collected before starting
this procedure. Unless you know you are the primary contact for your
site, please select No when prompted "I believe
I am the Primary Contact for this Site." Once you have completed the
self-nomination form, the Primary Contact for your site must process
the form. When you receive a self-nomination approval by email, go
to The sign in page for the Sametime Provisioning Application and
start the provisioning process.
Once your web identity is verified, the system checks
whether you are a Sametime customer
that is entitled to deploy the Sametime Gateway Server.
- If you are entitled to deploy Sametime Gateway Server,
enter the information needed by the instant messaging service.
- Submit the provisioning form. After the instant messaging
service receives your information and adds your site, you will receive
an email notification from IBM that
you have been provisioned. This can take up to seven business days.
- Before accessing a public instant messaging service through
the Sametime Gateway
Server, you are required to agree to the terms of service or end-user
license agreement for such public instant messaging services and IBM is not a party to any such agreement.
