Sametime requires your browser to have a JVM to even login

Category

I noticed over the weekend that if your browser doesn't have a JVM installed, you can't login to your Sametime server to do things like administer the server, and if you're an SMB, there's a good chance your Sametime server is also your mail server and web server.  How did I discover this?  Well I wanted to login from my Playstation 3 (PS3) to check my email and the PS3 doesn't have a JVM.  I never realized that IBM/Lotus checked for a JVM on the login screen.  

Personally I prefer the idea that it checks for Java when I schedule the meeting, or before I enter the meeting, not when I try and login.  If you decide you'd prefer it this way, this is how you can stop it doing the check for a JVM:
1. Open Domino Designer
2. Open STCENTER.NSF with Domino Designer (make sure you have high enough access rights to the database)
3. Click on Forms
4. Open the form STLogonForm
5. Click on HTML Head Content
6. Delete the following lines
"if (!(navigator.javaEnabled()))" +
"{" +
"window.location.replace(\"" + PathRelRoot + path + "/WebCheckProgramSupport\");" +
"}" +
7. Save the form

That should do it.

Gravatar Image1 - I will do a test with my Wii console, it lacks a Java VM too, but the Opera web browser is nice.

What about the PS3 web browser, is it cool?
