Recently I was installing an HCL Sametime 11 environment from scratch. I always tend to implement a single LTPA Token across the Domino, Sametime and/or Connections environment. It is also a very good idea to use only the LTPA Token version 2, as it is more secure, but this also means that the LTPA Token has to be created by a WebSphere server.
Usually this is not a problem, because most of my customers have HCL Connections or an older version of Sametime already deployed, which means that they are also using WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.
But this customer only had Domino, and a new installation of the WAS Network Deployment Server, solely to create a new LTPA Token and scrap it afterwards would take me too much time.
My friend Herwig W. Schauer gave me tip that the same could be done with WebSphere Liberty server, which is a lot faster.
Just download the latest version of WebSphere Application Liberty Server, which is free, from the IBM Website, I used the ZIP Install Package for Windows OS.
Just extract the downloaded package to the directory of your choice and open the “server.xml” file, which can be found under “<was_liberty_package>\wlp\usr\servers\defaultServer”, in text editor. At the line number 17, inside the “<ltpa>” tag, edit the “keyFileName” and “keysPassword” parameter, as shown in the screenshot below:
Afterwards, just start the WAS Liberty by executing the “server.bat” script.
“<was_liberty_package>\wlp\bin>server.bat start“
Just as in the screenshot below:
As soon as you get the server fired up, a new LTPA token will be generated in “<was_liberty_package>\wlp\usr\servers\defaultServer” directory, with the name and password you specified in the “server.xml” file.
That’s it, you can take the newly generated LTPA token and import it to Domino.
