Sametime cluster catch-up : the final day


Tags :


It took a few days to get this out of me, but here we sit.  The cluster was built.  The legacy chat and meeting servers were still in existence also.  The next big tackle was making them all works together, that includes passing the authentication tokens around.  Apparently, Sametime tokens are like hot potatoes and no one wants to hold them.  The music stops and you have to leave the chat.

That might be a little strong.  It is more like the new kid at school being put in a locker and no key.  You have the option to choose LTPA only, or LTPA and tokens.  We had deselected the option to allow the tokens and even removed the stauths.nsf database as it was not needed for the secrets.  The database stautht.nsf should never be replicated as it contains server specific info.

I am about to leave you sitting here wondering if there will be a part 2 to the saga.  I am sure there will be.
