---

After you have installed your prerequisite components and IBM® Sametime® Advanced, complete your deployment by configuring connections to supporting servers.

About this task

Finish deploying Sametime Advanced by completing these tasks:

1. Modifying the secure TLS/SSL port used by MQTT afer installing Sametime Advanced
IBM Sametime Advanced uses the MQTT protocol for broadcast community events. When encryption is enabled using TLS/SSL, MQTT should use port 8883 for secure communications. If you installed any Sametime Advanced servers with TLS/SSL enabled but assigned a port other than 8883 to MQTT for secure connections, you should correct the setting now to ensure that clients can connect to servers in your deployment.

2. Configuring a mail server after installing Sametime Advanced
Configure a mail server for use with an IBM Sametime Advanced deployment.

3. Configuring connectivity to a Sametime proxy server after installing Sametime Advanced
Connecting IBM Sametime Advanced to a Sametime Proxy server activates the awareness feature that detects when a user is online for users who are in a browser.
