Release Notes
Release 9.0.2
E53653-01
August 2014
This document provides release notes for Oracle Communications Instant Messaging Server Release 9.0.2, consisting of the following sections:
The new features in this release of Instant Messaging Server are:
For information on how to configure and use these new features, see Instant Messaging Server System Administrator's Guide.
Starting with Instant Messaging Server 9.0.2.6.0, you can assign/affiliate LDAP groups as members of a restricted chat room. When Instant Messaging Server creates the multi-user chat room, it loads the chat room's affiliations from LDAP. Instant Messaging Server determines if the user is a member of any of the groups authorized for the multi-user chat room. Instant Messaging Server then allows the users to join if they are members and otherwise forbids users from joining.
Starting with version 9.0.2.6.0, Instant Messaging Server can provide server-to-server federation support between any standard XMPP server and the SIP/SIMPLE Federation Service Gateway. The Instant Messaging Server SIP Gateway uses either Jabber Component Protocol or Server-to-Server federation for interoperability. The SIP/SIMPLE support using Jabber Component Protocol is only supported with Oracle Communications Instant Messaging server and not with any other third-party XMPP server. For any other third-party XMPP server, you must configure the Server-to-Server federation option.
This section lists the fixed issues in this release of Instant Messaging Server.

This section lists the known problems in this release of Instant Messaging Server.
SR number: NA
Bug number: 18787873
The XMPP RFC specifies the MD5 check should use a domain name for the URI. The Pidgin BOSH client uses a host name according to Digest MD5 RFC1321. Digest MD5 does work with Strophe clients.
SR number: NA
Bug number: 17155860
During an upgrade, server-to-server coserver configuration migrates to Instant Messaging Server 9.0.1.4.0, even though the coserver-based system of defining whitelists is not supported in Instant Messaging Server 9.0.1.4.0.
Workaround:
After an upgrade from Instant Messaging Server 8 release to Instant Messaging Server 9.0.1.4.0, remove the server-to-server coserver properties manually, by using the following command:
imconfutil delete-coserver -c iim.conf.xml coserver1,coserver2
If you want to make server-to-server federation work as it did in Instant Messaging Server 8, perform the following steps:
Set iim_server.federation.policy=CLOSED.
Set whitelisted domains as exceptions, as in the following full imconfutil command, where domain1.com and domain2.com were whitelisted domains in Instant Messaging Server 8:
imconfutil -c iim.conf.xml iim_server.federation.policy=CLOSED iim_server.federation.exceptions=domain1.com,domain2.com
For more details on server-to-server configuration, see the topic on federating Instant Messaging Server 9 deployments with external servers on XMPP or non-XMPP networks in Instant Messaging Server System Administrator's Guide.
SR number: NA
Bug number: 17608554
If the first line in the iim.conf file is a comment introduced by !!, it must be removed before upgrading to Instant Messaging Server 9. Otherwise, it results in an unusable iim.conf file with minimal contents.
SR number: NA
Bug number: 17613019
In an Instant Messaging Server 8 iim.conf file, if there is a space before or after the equal sign in a property=value pair, upgrading to Instant Messaging Server 9 treats the equal sign as part of the value in the iim.conf.xml file. For example yim_gateway.jid = "yim.idc.oracle.com" in an Instant Messaging Server 8 iim.conf file becomes <jid>="yim.idc.oracle.com"</jid> in an Instant Messaging Server 9 iim.conf.xml file.
SR number: NA
Bug number: 17608577
The following parameters are not migrated in an upgrade from Instant Messaging Server 8 Patch 6 to Instant Messaging Server 9:
iim_server.port.45222.worker-in iim_server.port.45222.worker-out
You need to add the parameters to Instant Messaging Server 9 manually, as in the following example:
imconfutil set-listener-prop -u -c /opt/sun/comms/im/config/iim.conf.xml c2s port=45222 worker-out=muxout worker-in=muxin protocols=c2s
SR number: NA
Bug number: 17613731
The following parameters are in Instant Messaging Server 8 Patch 6, but are not in Instant Messaging Server 9:
iim_mux.jvm.maxmemorysize iim_server.deliverofflinechat iim.policy.cachevalidity iim_ldap.conferencecontainer
If you upgraded from Instant Messaging Server 8 Patch 6 to Instant Messaging Server 9 and are now upgrading from Instant Messaging Server 9 to Instant Messaging Server 9.0.1.4.0, you must set these parameters manually, as in the following example:
imconfutil set-prop -u -c /opt/sun/comms/im/config/iim.conf.xml iim_server.deliverofflinechat=true iim_mux.jvm.maxmemorysize=2048 iim_ldap.conferencecontainer="ou=sunConferences" iim.policy.cachevalidity=3600
SR number: NA
Bug number: 19163612
After upgrading Instant Messaging Server, Service Management Facility (SMF) becomes unregistered. To re-register SMF, run the following command:
imadmin smf-register
SR number: NA
Bug number: 18956613
A communication delay can occur between users in a multi-user chat room when many users are joining the chat room.
SR number: NA
Bug number: 18956566
A delay in affiliation can occur between users in a multi-user chat room when many users are joining the chat room.
SR number: NA
Bug number: 18944756
A small communication delay can occur between users when first connecting by using HTTPBIND.
SR number: NA
Bug number: 18799534
When a user logs out and logs in, the presence of contacts does not show correctly. After the user logs out, the user's contacts change status, but that status is not reflected in the user's roster when the user logs in again.
SR number: NA
Bug number: 18724264
The following message, if observed in the xmppd.log, is not a cause for concern:
xmppd.log.3:[06 May 2014 11:27:44,757] WARN xmppd [default-iim_server-worker 1] Could not load roster for user: user1@ihost1.example.com : null
This message should not be printed as a warning because it misleads the user into thinking there is a problem.

Access Manager

AIM gateway
MSN gateway
