For those playing with the SIP gateway on Sametime


Tags :


If you have installed the SIP gateway and are working with adding users from another Sametime community to your buddylist, you will find that you cannot add groups.  You must create a local group, that gets stored in vpuserinfo.nsf on your Sametime server, through your Sametime client, and then add people one at a time to that group.

 Of course, adding the group straight from their directory would be nice, but what would happen if you both had groups with the same name?  So I do get why they did it that way.  Mainly in the first implementation.


Problem

You use the Sametime Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Gateway to chat with users in the external Sametime community and would like to add groups of SIP users to your buddy list instead of adding them one at a time.  Is this possible?

Currently, you can only add one external SIP user at a time to the Sametime Connect client buddy list.

An enhancement request to add a group of SIP users at one time to the buddy list has been submitted to Quality Engineering.
