Its very easy to install also very easy to maintain. 1. Download it 2. extract to a folder 3. Run it (No need of Make, make install) Its a Java app.) Read the readme or INSTALL in the installation folder. Installation procedure :- ============ ========= ========= ========= ======= *Openfire configuration* 1. Visit the new Openfire Chat Server's administration site at http://your_ ip_address: 9090 <http://fqdn_ of_chat_server: 9090/>or http://127.0. 0.1:9090. 2. Choose a language and click 'Continue' 3. Choose the server settings. The defaults are fine unless you implement a local server name and an external service name. Click 'Continue' 4. Openfire Chat Server relies upon either an external or embedded database. For enterprise deployments, choose 'Standard Database Connection' and click 'Continue' 5. Enter your database settings. Use Openfire's database documentation<http://www.ignitere altime.org/ builds/openfire/ docs/latest/ documentation/ database. html>for assistance. Click 'Continue'. 6. Select whether to store users inside the server database or on an existing LDAP server. The latter option is preferable for enterprise deployments that already have an LDAP infrastructure in place. Select 'Director Server (LDAP)' and click 'Continue' 7. Setting up an LDAP connection begins with defining the connection to the LDAP server. First select the server type. (e.g., Active Directory). Then enter the name of the server (Host) and the port to which connections will be made. Enter port 636 (for encrypted connections) . Next, enter the Base DN (distinguished name) of the root container on the LDAP server under which all Openfire users will live. Enter the full DN of the user that will be the reader account for this Openfire server. This account will be responsible for looking up users on the LDAP server in order to test their credentials. This account needs only to have read access to the Openfire users on the LDAP server. Before moving on, click on the Advanced Settings link. Clicking on this link will expand an extra array of settings at the bottom of the screen. Go ahead and click yes (next to 'Use SSL'). The LDAP server in question must support SSL for this option to work; however, the alternative is having all queries and results be performed in the clear, which is unacceptable. Click 'Save & Continue' 8. The next screen allows the full customization of which user attributes from the LDAP server will be mapped to similar user attributes for Openfire users. The default options should be fine here. Click 'Save & Continue' 9. The following screen configures LDAP group settings. The default options should also be fine here. Click 'Save & Continue' 10. The final part of LDAP configuration is choosing a user (or users) from the LDAP server to be an Openfire administrator. Type the given username in here, click 'Add' and then click 'Continue' once all the appropriate users are added here. Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Openfire Chat Server. Login to the management console to further configure Openfire, or let your users start connecting today! ============ ========= ========= ========= ======= If any issues get back to me.
