RE: [JDEV] Concurrent Users

2002-03-26 Thread Riyaad Miller



hi 
there 

our 
configs appear to be more or less the same
could 
you kindly mail me the yahoo entry of you jabber.xml please
i've 
been strugglish for the last x weeks getting the bloody transport to 
work!
oh yes 
~ about the max user thing 
i've 
been told by zad (i think) that the max user is round about plus/minus 
1024
however after doing some stress testing we've managed 
to get thus far 2450 about users
the 
only reason we only hit that amount was because our 'client' machines ran out of 
memory :-(
hope 
this helps...

[JDEV] Max number of users....revisted!

2002-03-15 Thread Riyaad Miller

Hi all

Small question ... 
What is the limiting factor on the number of simultaneous connections to jabberd?
I'm currently using jabber 1.4.1 open source. It cries at 1000 (about) despite 
tweaking mgy kernel to get beyond 6 fd's.
Are there any thread number issues involved? Could I run multiple jabberd processes on 
different ports to get a higher total number of connections to my server?

Thanks 
Regards RM

But the server cannot find jabber.org. And it's because there's a proxy

moment, all of which are merrily chatting away. Assume there's some kinda major event 
happening in the world (eg. Volcano errupting in Hawai or something ...merely an 
example here). I want to be able to pull this information from my already existing  
news system of sort and display the major breaking news headlines to the chatting

Some dead or otherwise non-working links on the Jabber Transports page
(http://www.jabber.org/?oid=72):

- Pager Transport
- BBS Transport
- Groove Transport
- (Magi Transport)
- (HTTP Transport)

I think it would be best to simply remove these entries.

The ICQ Transport entry points to the non-functional (old) ICQ Transport
only. I would propose to either change it to point to the new icqv7-t
(icqv7-t.sourceforge.net) or at least to add a link to icqv7-t (and
perhaps to AIM-t for it can be used for ICQ also). Also a notice (ICQv5
can not connect to newer ICQ clients  has trouble with offline messages)
would be good.

Perhaps it would be best to rename the CVS ICQ-t module too (for example
icq-transport = icqv5-old or something).

[JDEV] Multiple hosts ....re-visited *Urgent*

Hello All

A few interesting questions ...
How do we register  users with a different domain/host  name (which is NOT the as the 
local server running Jabber). Do note I am refering to domains other the the usual 
MSN, Yahoo etc transports. Assuming we have multiple hosts/domains, what exactly does 
host in Jabber.xml do for me, I know it's documented in the file itself, but does it 
'really' work, if so how? 
Allow me to provide an example. I want [EMAIL PROTECTED] to register with my jabber 
server (my.jabber.com), however I also want [EMAIL PROTECTED] to do the same. 
Unfortunately I can only get [EMAIL PROTECTED] working fine and Not the others ...any 
possible explainationsThe entry I do already have in my jabber.xml file is as 
follows. (well not exactly but you get the drift)

   hostdomain1.com /host
   hostdomain2.com /host

[JDEV] MSN Transport Problems

2002-01-18 Thread Riyaad Miller


Could somebody show me the 'light' side on this query.

Allow me to explain the situation!
I've installed Jabber 1.4.1, running conference 0.4.1 and MSN Transport 1.1
We've managed hack the crap out of  mod_auth_ldap.c and finally have ldap 
authenticating nicely against our OpenLDAP servers running ver 2, note that our Jabber 
server and our LDAP servers are not the same physical server.
I've setup a MSN id and downloaded the MSN chat client on my local desktop. Note I 
also have WinJab and JIM running on my machine. Here's the problem ... 
When I go online with my MSN userid, theoretically according to my limited 
understanding of Jabber, I should be able to find myself  (merely testing here), add 
myself to my list of contact and in theory chat to me myself, one as the MSN user, 
the other as the Jabber user. Problem is though ... I don't!
When I try to invite my MSN self to my new conference room, a dialog box come up and 
tell me not found *what's not found* - assuming the user here! I then create the room 
with my inviting local jabber user. 
Also assuming I click chat on the my MSN  nick link in JIM (which by the way has 
(Pending),  I get the message that I am offline ...How could this be when my MSN 
chat window is open and I'm chatting to the world. I'm absolutely dumb struck on 
this ...

I'm always also seeing this msg in my log files!!
20020118T12:37:55: [notice] (test): failed to establish connection
20020118T12:37:55: [notice] (test): bouncing a packet to test from 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: Server Connect Failed

One last thing - I am behind a firewall and need to find out this. If a request being 
made to a server beyond the firewall come from jabber, does the reply request/answer 
come back on the same session or does jabber terminate the session. I'm not too clear 
about this so any kind reasonable answer would be nice!

[JDEV] Jabber Redundancy

2002-01-15 Thread Riyaad Miller

Hello World {smile}
Small question wrt running Jabber on multiple servers in synch.
Picture this scenario
2 servers running Jabber doing load balancing.
The gateways installed redundantly on both servers?
Question - is it possible for the services to 'talk' to each other and also
to know exactly whose logged into which server and perform load balancing 
in the process?!? Also Is is advisable is actually have the gateways installed on the 
same
system, remotely installed gateways and having them configured to talk to Jabber would
be a real plus - though is it possible!!

  Why not add authentication and message relaying to the S2S protocol.
 
  This would give four advantages;
 
  1. Any user could log into any machine and the server would relay the
  authentication request to the relevant machine to handle authentication.
 
  2. The messages for that user would be relayed to the server they are
  logged in to and then forwarded on to them.
 
  3. Clusters or farms could be constructed to server a a single jabber
  community and the load shared between them.
 
  4. This would only involve a change to the S2S protol and servers
  supporting it (of which there are few), and would leave the C2S protocol
  unchanged and thus not require any client changes.
 
  Comments?

   This will require some changes in the Jabber protocol. The
 MSN protocol
  does
   something like this, but takes this one step ahead by letting
 you connect
  to
   any server in the pool, which then refers you to the right
 server that can
   authenticate you. If you make logging in a two-step process,
 you can solve
   this problem but that would mean changing all the Jabber
 clients and also
   the S2S communication in the Jabber server.
  
   Anyway, this is an area that the Jabber server developers are the best
  folks
   to comment on.

IM, Vista, etc., clients libraries, server modules, innovative stuff like

if I am wrong, please correct me.
With regard to my comment on JCS, my position is connecting to a 
Jabber server (whether open source or not) is better then connecting to an AOL 
server. Using a client supporting the Jabber protocol (whether open source or 
not) is better then using the AIM client. Both the actions GROW the jabber 
community, so if I want to use the open source versions of either the client or 
server, I can MAKE that choice. With the CLOSED AOL AIM protocol, that choice is 
not possible.
it's ok we can stop developing the server. 
I never said in my email that we need to stop development of the 
server. I support your desire to for Jabber to be 'the best server'. All I said 
were two things with regards to the Jabber server, which I am expanding and 
repeating here 1. If the Jabber server is used in a distributed fashion like 
sendmail and Apache, then that reduces the scalability requirements. 2. For ISPs 
that demand more scalability, let them use JCS, etc. now instead of choosing 
some closed solution like Odigo or co-branding AOL, Yahoo, etc. That way, when 
the jabber server meets their requirements, they can adopt it easily.

Hi all

Is there like any particular reason http://www.jabber.com should be dead?

Does this site still exist or is it merely a temp prob?

One thing to consider regarding AOL is that they'll have to adopt some
measure of interoperability, either standards based or w/ specific competing
services , prior to launching IM enhanced  broadband  applications within
cable regions covered by the AOL - Time Warner consent decree.

I think that this argues for a focus on the continued development of Jabber
in its role as a user /resource aware XML messaging  routing architecture.
The fundamental extensibility of Jabber along with the work being done w/
XML-RPC and SOAP , and the design concepts being implemented w/ Jabber2 have
the potential to establish Jabber as the platform of choice for precisely
these sorts of applications.

I don't see any way of overcoming the network effects supporting the
existing AOL service - you're never going to get a significant number of AOL
IM users to adopt Jabber and AOL won't allow interop until they're forced
to.  One strategy that I think could work would be to position Jabber as a
competitor in the area of IM enhanced broadband apps and to deploy
applications and services within systems covered by the consent decree. AOL
isn't going to want a rival technology to gain a significant foothold in
this area and would eventually forward an interop proposal simply to enable
them to introduce rival applications.

preliminary work in this area could include :

Developing  OCAP (OpenCable Applications Platform) compatible jabber
components.

Developing ATVEF based clients for Liberate / AOLTV - ATVEF is based on web
dev. standards .

Promoting Jabber as a 'platform' for next generation BB and ITV apps.

if anyone else is interested in this area pls contact me
