Virtual Mail And Jabber Server (xmpp) With iRedMail And Ejabberd On Ubuntu 9.10 - Page 2

You can choose your favourite XMPP client, now I use Pidgin for testing. Download the newest version of Pidgin and install it. The setting are simple.

8 XMPP Federation and DNS Link

To ensure that your ejabberd instance will federate properly with the rest of the XMPP network, particularly with Google's "GTalk" service (i.e. the "@gmail.com" chat tool), we must set the SRV records for the domain to point to the server where the ejabberd instance is running. We need three records, which can be created in the DNS Management tool of your choice:

1. Service: _xmpp-server Protocol: TCP Port: 5269
2. Service: _xmpp-client Protocol: TCP Port: 5222
3. Service: _jabber Protocol: TCP Port: 5269

The "target" of the SRV record should point to the publicly routable hostname for that machine (e.g. "mail.example.com"). The priority and weight should both be set to 0.

9 Troubleshooting

Enable logging in ldap:

vi /etc/ldap/slapd.conf

loglevel    256 # <-- change from 0 to 256

Restart the openldap service:

/etc/init.d/slapd restart

Monitor /var/log/ejabberd/ejabberd.log and /var/log/openldap.log for troubleshooting.
