Interesting problem with Sametime Unified Telephony under Lotus Notes 8.5.1 FP1 on Apple Mac OSX

Following an uninstall/reinstall of Lotus Notes 8.5.1 FP1 on my Macbook Pro, I started hitting this error message: -

"Your Sametime computer phone has failed to initialize and is temporarily unavailable"

when trying to use the softphone feature of Lotus Sametime Unified Telephony.

This had been working perfectly for months, so I was a little bit miffed.

However, thanks to some useful forum postings by other sufferers, I was directed to this Technote: -

Softphone TLS initialization problem after updating to Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 6

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21416964

This suggests that there is a Java-related issue with a certificate file, cacert, and directs one to update the file using the keytool command.

Once done ( with Notes STOPPED ), all now appears to be well.

Having pinged this to a few other Mac users, who were suffering with the same problem. Hopefully it'll fix it for them, Jim ....
