Jabber server

start, stop or restart service

Check server hostname

Valid and preconsidered hostname is vital to Jabber server. Please note that:

  • the hostname MUST be resolvable to IP address of this server
  • it will be part of each user's address
  • for this Jabber server to be reachable from Internet, its hostname must be valid across the Internet and must resolve to valid routable (and reachable) IP address with 5222 and 5269 TCP ports being allowed on firewall
  • for security reasons, TCP port 4369 must be firewalled from untrusted parties
  • it's NOT easily possible to CHANGE server name since ejabberd's database and user contact lists will have to be updated by hand too!
So think twice and do it right. Ask your DNS/network administrator in case of doubt BEFORE setting.

Add admin user

Jabber username is like e-mail address, for example admin@jabber.lan. If the username is already registered, it will be re-registered with password given below.

Warning: currently doing this means restarting jabber server, thus logging out all users! (they'll have to reconnect)
