Presence Preferences

If WebCenter Portal's 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, your administrator must build a presence network agent (PNA) that understands how to process each user's presence from a certain URL.

To enable network presence:

Enter your IM Address, for example for Yahoo! Messenger.
Enter your Display Name.
Click Save to save your change and exit the Preferences dialog.

To revert to your enterprise presence, when you are back on your network, simply remove this information from Preferences - Presence.
