Presence Preferences

Instant messaging and presence requires a back-end presence server. WebCenter Portal is certified with Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) 2007 R2, and Microsoft Lync. When presence is not available (for example, if your enterprise uses a Jabber/XMPP presence server or has federated presence servers with users distributed across identity management systems), you can connect to a public network presence service.

Out-of-the-box, WebCenter Portal supports Yahoo! Messenger on network presence. However, the network presence model can be extended to include other providers, such as ICQ. To do so, you must build a presence network agent (PNA) that understands how to process each user's presence from a certain URL.

To enable network presence:

1. On the Presence page, enter the IM address for the presence status and a display name.
2. Click Save.

   Note:

   If you change your IM address, you must log out of WebCenter Portal and then log in again to view your presence status.
