    Description:
    Specifying the security level (minimum allowed client version)
    Each server is configured to allow logins from a minimum client version, which defines the security level of the server. By default, the server allows logins from Sametime 2.5 and later clients. To specify a different security level, you must change the value of the VP_SECURITY_LEVEL setting in the sametime.ini file. You can specify a minimum client version of 3.1 or later, 3.0 or later, 2.5 or later, and so forth. After you specify a minimum version, you can then specify other settings to control how the server responds to login requests from client versions earlier than the specified minimum version.

    Valid options are

    0<no zeros> Select this option to disable security filtering and allow logins from all clients regardless of version level.
    20<no zeros> Select this option to set the minimum client level to Sametime 2.0 clients and later. To determine the client level, the server detects whether the client uses the Diffie-Hellman public key agreement protocol to encrypt the user's password. Any client that does not authenticate using the Diffie-Hellman method is determined to be a 1.5 client.
    25<no zeros> (Default) Select this option to set the minimum client level to Sametime 2.5. To determine the client level, after the client logs in using the Diffie-Hellman method, the server attempts to create a chat channel to the client. If the server successfully creates the chat channel, the client version is determined to be 2.5 or later.
    30<no zeros> Select this option to set the minimum client level to Sametime 3.0. The server determines the client version from information that the client sends during the handshake.
    31<no zeros> Select this option to set the minimum client level to Sametime 3.1. The server determines the client version from information that the client sends during the handshake.
    6510<no zeros> Select this option to set the minimum client level to Sametime 6.5.1. The server determines the client version from information the client sends during the handshake.
    75<no zeros> Select this option to set the minimum client level to Sametime 7.5. The server determines the client version from information the client sends during the handshake.
    7510<no zeros> Select this option to set the minimum client level to Sametime 7.5.1. The server determines the client version from information the client sends during the handshake.
