Passwords

Sametime uses the following passwords to secure your meetings and other information:

• Sametime and Sametime Connect Logon Password: This password is assigned by your system administrator or chosen by you when you register to use Sametime. If registration is available in your version of Sametime, you can change your password at any time, even if your administrator assigned it to you. See "Changing Your Password" for more information. Sametime and Sametime Connect use the same user name and password.




Note If you do not see a Register link on the Sametime Welcome page, you must get your user name and password from your system administrator.

• Sametime Meeting Password: The meeting creator can enter a password for the meeting on the Security tab of the New Meeting page. Participants must enter the meeting password before attending the meeting or accessing the meeting details. (The password protects everything on the Meeting Details page, including recordings and attached files.)



• Sametime MeetingPlace^TM User Password: If a meeting includes a MeetingPlace telephone conference call, the meeting creator enters a MeetingPlace user name and password to create the conference call.



• Telephone Conference Call Password: If a meeting includes a MeetingPlace telephone conference call, the meeting creator can enter an ID and password for the telephone conference call. To attend a meeting that includes a password-protected telephone conference call, participants call MeetingPlace and enter the conference call password on the telephone keypad.



• AOL Instant Messenger Password: If you access AOL Instant Messenger through the Sametime Connect window, you must use the screen name and password that you obtained when you registered with AOL Instant Messenger.



• Proxy Server Password: If you use a proxy server with Sametime, you might need a user name and password to access the proxy server. Contact your system administrator for more information.
