Using the chat log database

The IMtegrity installer creates the IMtegrity chat log database with the default file name "imtchatlog.nsf" at installation time.

Note: If you have IMtegrity installed on more than one IBM Lotus Domino Sametime server, the imtchatlog.nsf database is configured to automatically replicate between those servers if replication is scheduled between those servers.

Accessing the chat log database:

The chat log database ("imtchatlog.nsf") can be access either via a Web browser or via a Lotus Notes Client, the user expirience is nearly identical.

To access via Lotus Notes: Open the imtchatlog.nsf database on the sametime server.

To access via web browser : Open the URL "http://yourServerName/imtchatlog.nsf"

Access control for chat log documents:

By default, every user has only reader access to their own chat logs inside the imtchatlog.nsf database. This means that authenticated users can only see chats they participated in. Other users chat logs won't be accessible to them. Non-authenticated users cannot see any chat logs by default.

IBM Lotus Sametime chats: Sametime users are always authenticated before they can participate in chats, so all Sametime chat logs are accessible to their owners.

AOL AIM chats: Unless you enabled Directory Authentication for AOL AIM users, those chat logs are all anonymous and not accessible to anyone by default except users or administrators with the special ACL role "ReadAnonymous" enabled in the ACL of the imtchatlog.nsf database.

To read anonymous AOL AIM chat logs:
Enable the role "[ReadAnonymous]" in the ACL for the users who should be able to read those anonymous chat logs.

Note: All users which possess the the [ReadAnonymous] role can read ALL anonymous AOL AIM chat logs, not just the ones they participated in.

To read everything:
Enable the role "[ReadEverything]" in the ACL for the users who should be able to read all chat logs (both anonymous AOL AIM logs and authenticated logs, even if they were not participants of those chats.

Note: The [ReadEverything] role should usually only be granted to administrators or auditors.
