To Set Up Communication Between Two Instant Messaging Servers in a Server Pool

1. Gather the information listed in Table 6–1.

2. Change to im-cfg-base on the server iimA.siroe.com.

   See Instant Messaging Server Directory Structure for instructions on locating im-cfg-base.

3. Open iim.conf.

   See Appendix A, Instant Messaging Configuration Parameters in iim.conf for instructions on locating and modifying iim.conf.

   Note –

   The iim.conf file should be owned by the Instant Messaging server account you created during installation. If the iim.conf file cannot be read by the Instant Messaging server account, the server and multiplexor will be unable to read the configuration. Additionally, you might lose the ability to edit iim.conf.

4. Modify the parameter values to match your deployment.

   Table 8–1 lists the parameters you need to modify. If the parameters do not exist in iim.conf, add them. The following example shows the section of iim.conf on iimA.siroe.com corresponding to the server-to-server communications that you need to modify:

   iim_server.serverid=iimA.siroe.com iim_server.password=secretforiimA iim_server.domainname=siroe.com iim_server.coservers=coserver1 iim_server.coserver1.host=iimB.siroe.com:5269 iim_server.coserver1.serverid=iimB.siroe.com iim_server.coserver1.password=secret4iimB iim_server.coserver1.domain=siroe.com

5. Follow steps 2 through 4 for the iim.conf file on server iimB.siroe.com.

   The following example shows the section of iim.conf on iimB.siroe.com corresponding to the server-to-server communications that you need to modify:

   iim_server.serverid=iimB.siroe.com iim_server.password=secret4iimB iim_server.domainname=siroe.com iim_server.coservers=coserver1 iim_server.coserver1.host=iimA.siroe.com:5269 iim_server.coserver1.serverid=iimA.siroe.com iim_server.coserver1.password=secretforiimA iim_server.coserver1.domain=siroe.com

6. Save the changes and close iim.conf.

7. Refresh the configuration on both servers.
