Configure Conversations with Answer Server

You can configure Find to display a chat box to use with the Answer Server conversation module. You can configure the chat box on the Find settings page, by providing the host and port of your Answer Server, and the ID of the conversation system to use for conversations in the Find user interface.

NOTE: When Find starts a conversation session with Answer Server, it supplies the Find username in the USER_NAME variable. Similarly, if you use IDOL Community authentication, and the user has a security info string, Find supplies it as the SECURITY_INFO property, so that it can be used when the conversation system sends questions to other answer systems.
