Using canonical names for Instant Messaging status lookup
Note The feature described in this topic are available only if your company has an IBM Lotus instant messaging (Sametime) server, and only for Windows versions of IBM Lotus Notes.

Enabling this setting lets you display online awareness for names when your IBM Lotus Instant Messaging 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). To determine if you should use this setting, check with your administrator.

1. Choose File - Preferences - User Preferences.

2. Click Instant Messaging - General.

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