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.
