Quick Tips for going live with Sametime 7.5 mobile on Blackberry
Tags :Sametime
So the test server went to CF1 as Carl and I pointed out yesterday. So today I went through the download and install of Sametime 7.5 mobile. The server side was fairly painless. Went quick, found the Domino install and had only 3 clicks.
Now then, the rest is where I sat silly for a moment but then it all made sense. You must manually add Fallback MIME types to the httpd.cnf file in order for it to see the .jad file that is needed for the RIM installs. I was hitting the server with the browser before I realized this was a step to perform. A quick restart of HTTP and you are off.
They also suggest you create an easy to remember web redirect for users. I will do that later after testing. The code then did an OTA install fast and I launched the client direct from there to the server. It uses port 8082 so make sure firewalls are ready for that. I tried hitting another Sametime 7.5 server without CF1 on it and the connection failed every time no matter what port or connection type I selected. So the fixpack install is required for this to work right.
One other thing, you should go into the new Configuration-Sametime Mobile and set a couple default fields to make it easier for your user once they load the client. Sort of like creating a pre-populated sametime.ini for the device.
So the device list for now looks like this:
- Microsoft Windows Mobile 5 and 2003 SE
- Nokia Eseries
- RIM Blackberry 7100/8700 Series
