Sametime 9 Meeting Server : change the username when recording on Linux

If you did not use the correct userid during installation (Install Sametime 9 on Linux : the Meeting Server) for the Recording server, or you want to change it later on, you need to make changes in several locations :

Autostart the Sametime WebSphere servers

You can use the wasservice.sh to create the start scripts.
We did a non-root installation, so we want to start the WebSphere servers as that user. You will however need to run the wasservice.sh as root (because it needs to create the Linux services) (or use sudo of course).

Non root installation of Sametime 9 Proxy server

In the wiki, it states that you need to install using root. I do not know why this is, since both Installation Manager and WebSphere Application Server can be installed as non-root .

On my Ubuntu 13.04 desktop, screen sharing did not work. It should however work.

UDEV persistent net rules on CentOS

Udev makes sure that your devices always get assigned the same device identifier. For network devices, this means that a particular network interface will always be eth0, and the second one always eth1.

This makes perfect sense, except in my scenario : I use VMWare workstation with 1 virtual machine that functions as my “template”. I keep this up to date with regards to CentOS version and VMWare tools, and also my ssh keys etc. Creating a new Virtual Machine is as simple as copying this “template” (actually the name is “cloning”).

Non root installation of Sametime 9 Meeting Server

Installation Manager : use the online repositories

To use the online repository (PPA), you need to create a keyring file first using the (graphical) IM (as the user was)
