Sun Java System Communications Services 2005Q4 Release Notes

Configuring the Server to Allow New User Registration

The new user registration feature is not completely described in the Administration Guide. In addition to customizing Instant Messenger, you also need to configure the server to allow new user registration.

To do this, you need to add four configuration parameters to iim.conf then refresh the server configuration. Table 3–4 describes the configuration parameters.

Table 3–4 New User Registration Server Configuration Parameters


Parameter	Description
`iim.register.enable`	If `TRUE`, the server allows new Instant Messaging end users to register themselves (add themselves to the directory) using Instant Messenger.
`iim_ldap.register.enable`	If `TRUE`, the server allows new Instant Messaging end users to register themselves (add themselves to the directory) using Instant Messenger.
`iim_ldap.register.basedn`	If self-registration is enabled, the value of this parameter is the DN of the location in the LDAP directory in which person entries are stored. For example: `"ou=people,dc=siroe,dc=com"`
`iim_ldap.register.domain`	The domain to which new users will be added. For example: `directory.siroe.com`

To Configure the Server to Allow New User Registration

Open iim.conf in a text editor.

Add the configuration parameters and appropriate values as described in Table 3–4.

Save and close iim.conf.

Refresh the server configuration using the imadmin command-line utility.

imadmin refresh server

Caution –
Do not use the imadmin start, imadmin stop , or imadmin refresh commands in an HA environment with Sun Cluster. Instead, use the Sun Cluster administrative utilities.
