I’m working on a new Sametime 11.5 install and was setting up the Sametime Proxy. The install went very smoothly, but it came time to setup the TLS and the client uses a wildcard certificate.

Working on a Sametime install for a client and it’s been a little while. I created the Community server deployment plan and started the install on the Community Server. The hostname is kindly populated for me from the OS. It’s got some letters in upper case, but no worries. I click the Next button to get the list of available deployment plans and nothing, zip, nada shows in the window. Hmmm. [Read More]
