Help needed: Sametime 8 server installer says server.id has a password

January 10th, 2008

I’m doing a fresh new install of a Sametime 8 server environment on top of a new Domino 8 install. Server is installed as standard, out of the box settings, no server.id password is set. Start Domino 8 server, and it runs fine. However, the Sametime 8 installer swears the server.id has a password on it:

The install detected that the Domino server ID is password protected. This password is required to complete the Sametime server configuration. Enter the password, and choose Next to validate the password.

I’ve gone into the ID Properties to double check, no password is defined. Has anyone run into this before? Haven’t had an issue with Sametime 7.5.1.

UPDATE:
Thanks to Chris Gambrell for the tip on the STSkipDominoPasswordCheck=true environment variable which did the trick.
