Hi, Not all openfire configuration parameters are exposed in sipXconfig. For those that are not exposed, we need to make sure that the out-of-the-box default values line up with sipXecs's requirements. To that end, I went through the entire openfire management pages and noted 8 parameters that I feel we need to reconfigure from their openfire defaults. Please find the list below. Squawk now if you do not agree with that list.
Thanks, bob Here is the list of openfire-provided defaults that I believe we need to override in sipXecs: Setting #1- The server will automatically check for server or plugins updates. openfire-provided default: enabled new suggested default value: disabled Justification: sipXecs will be the master of software upgrades including those for openfire. As such, we do not want the openfire component to go out and request automatic updates Setting #2- Administrators will receive notifications when new updates are available. openfire-provided default: enabled new suggested default value: disabled Justification: Same as #1. Setting #3- Users can automatically create new accounts. openfire-provided default: enabled new suggested default value: disabled Justification: In order to keep databases consistent, sipXconfig is the sole controller of IM users on the system. Allowing users to create new accounts would circumvent this which is not a good thing. Setting #4-Users can change their password. openfire-provided default: enabled new suggested default value: disabled Justification: Existing sipXecs model is that users cannot change their passwords - administrator is in control of that piece of information. Setting #5- Clients can only connect to the server using secured connections. openfire-provided default: optional new suggested default value: required Justification: Privacy concern Setting #6- Connections between servers always use secured connections. openfire-provided default: optional new suggested default value: required Justification: : Privacy concern Setting #7- Show the entire chat history to users joining a multi-user chat room. openfire-provided default: show last 25 entries new suggested default value: Don't Show History Justification: Privacy concern. When someone enters my chat room, I do not want that person to see what the last 25 entries were. Imagine this conversation: -Joe: Simon is just not pulling his weight, I think we should fire him -Mike: I agree about the performance issues but let's give him one last chance -Joe: Ok fine. Let me invite him to this room to chat about performance improvement. [Joe has invited Thomas] [Thomas just entered the room].... ---- Now, at this point, it would not be desirable for Thomas to be shown the last 25 lines of that conversation... Setting #8- who can create group chat rooms openfire-provided default: Anyone can create a chat room. new suggested default value: Only admin can create chatrooms Justification: In order to keep databases consistent, sipXconfig controls the chatrooms creation. _______________________________________________ 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/
