Thanks for the bug report. We've now fixed the category and type (bug fix will be in next release). The name is now "Jive Messenger Server" by default, but that default can be changed by editing a configuration file.
You are welcome ;)
Yep, same issue -- http://www.jivesoftware.org/issues/browse/JM-407. We've implemented a fix and will hopefully roll it out to the server later today.
Cool good good.
This general subdomain issue was actually a really interesting one for us when implementing s2s. One thing I find frustrating is that DNS entries have to be made in order to get s2s sub-domains to work with most servers. That's a bummer for things like MUC, where server admins might not have easy access to DNS but still want the service. So, the algorithm we use is to examine the server domain and attempt connections to the subdomain tree in order. So, if connecting from another JM server to conference.foo.jivesoftware.com:
1) Try s2s connection to conference.foo.jivesoftware.com. If that fails: 2) Try connection to foo.jivesoftware.com. If that fails: 3) Try connection to jivesoftware.com.
So, let's say that your XMPP server is actually foo.jivesoftware.com. In that case, conference.foo.jivesoftware.com will still work from the other JM server even if you don't have DNS setup for conference.foo.
Interesting solution but not exactly standard, and will only work between servers that are running Jive Messenger, according to the specs for s2s the fact that the MUC service is a subdomain of another server is irrelivant, its not the root domain that the other servers are trying to talk to its the conference service itself directly, thus the need to have the DNS records setup correctly so that they can even see if it exists, I would suggest that if your users dont have access to add DNS records for subdomains then they either obtain that access or simply purchase a new domain for their MUC service to be known as e.g. conference-jivesoftware.com, whether the MUC service is known as conference.jivesoftware.com or conference-jivesoftware.com should make no difference.
