Does not matter if it is Sametime, Connections or Quickr you may face the following challenges.
These are out of the ordinary for most companies but certain locked down, highly secured environments should keep the following in mind.
There are excellent step by step directions for the products, Sametime, but this is about before you start them.
Imagine you have a set of servers to work with, now imagine those servers have every single port aside from the absolute minimum locked down.
The documentation warns you to disable any firewalls on your server. You can follow that, but what if you are not allowed to enable any ports? Am I serious? Yes. So what you need to do is either enable ALL ports on the server for the short term of installation or if security requires it, work from the existing knwon ports that are in use by EVERYTHING.
Remember this from various IBM docs:
Note: No validation is done to see if the ports are in use or if the ports file is valid.
BUT IT SHOULD!
So for those in a locked down environment, here are links to the known ports you may need or how to find them:
Sametime - http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/stwiki.nsf/dx/Sametime_8.5_Ports_and_URLs and this one which is more detailed: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/sametime/v8r5/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.help.sametime.v85.doc%2Fplan%2Fplan_ports.html
Quickr J2EE - http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/lqwiki.nsf/dx/Configuring_the_Lotus_Quickr_ports_qp85
DB2,Websphere Deployment Manager - http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v6r1/topic/com.ibm.websphere.nd.iseries.doc/info/iseriesnd/ae/rmig_portnumber.html
for As/400 http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wsdoc400/v6r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.iseries.doc/info/ae/ae/adrport.htm
Lotus Notes Traveler - https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21298475
And please disable your anti-virus solution as well.
Lastly, remember to use an 8 character administration name (DB2 limitation) and keep directories and naming as short as possible as well.
