A single subdomain for all chatrooms is the approach we are taking for this release.

When you try to join a chatroom on openfire when you do not have an account on said openfire then you need provide the server information (see pidgin's 'add chat... Dialog window). If you specify the XMPP domain as the chatroom server, the client will fail to join the room. The way to make it work is to specify 'room.<xmppdomain>' as the server. If you do that, you'll be able to join the chat using your Jabber account for example but that of course only works is room.<xmppdomain> can be resolved to the host that is running openfire. Do you know of an other way to allow someone with a jabber account to join an openfire multi-user chat without room.<xmppdomain> being resolvable? _______________________________________________ sipx-dev mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-dev Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-dev sipXecs IP PBX -- http://www.sipfoundry.org/
