meetings

Before users can set up a multiserver meeting, you must provide them with a
user profile on each MeetingPlace server. You must also create Server
Information records on each MeetingPlace system so that the servers can
identify each other when they connect.

Providing users with profiles on the other MeetingPlace servers
To schedule a multiserver meeting, a user must have multiserver scheduling
privileges and a profile on each MeetingPlace server that is involved in the
meeting. For example, if users need to schedule a multiserver meeting
between New York City and London, you must make sure that user has a user
profile with multiserver scheduling privileges on the New York City
MeetingPlace server and the London MeetingPlace server.

between New York City and London, you must make sure that user has a user
profile with multiserver scheduling privileges on the New York City
MeetingPlace server and the London MeetingPlace server.
There are two ways that you can provide users with profiles on other
MeetingPlace servers:
MeetingPlace servers:
•
If they already have a profile on a MeetingPlace server, have the other
servers import this profile into the user’s database. If users do not already
have a profile, create one and then have the other servers import it. For
more information on how to import profiles, see

•
Have all MeetingPlace system managers create the same “generic” profile
on their MeetingPlace server, and have all schedulers use this profile when
setting up a multiserver meeting. This allows all schedulers to log on to
each server using the same ID and password. This method, however, can
create security and billing issues because each scheduler uses the same
profile. For more information on creating user profiles, see
