Using canonical names for instant messaging status lookup
When you enable this setting, instant messaging can display online awareness for names when your IBM® Lotus® Sametime® server is configured to lookup Notes® canonical hierarchical names (for example CN=John Smith/OU=Sales/O=Acme) instead of Note abbreviated hierarchical names (for example John Smith/Sales/Acme).

Note: The features described in this topic are available only if your company has an IBM Lotus Sametime server. The Macintosh version of Lotus Notes® does not support some instant messaging features, for example, instant meetings and multiple-person chats.

Note: To determine if you should use this setting, check with your administrator.

To use canonical names for instant message status lookup, follow these steps:

1. Click File > Preferences.

2. Click User Preferences.

3. Click the plus sign next to Instant Messaging and then click General.

4. Select or deselect Use canonical name for instant messaging status lookup.
