Currently I need working on instant message, so choice openfire as XMPP server.
Enviroments:
Openfire(3.6.3)
Mysql(5.0.75)
Requirements:
Intergeneration with local user, the same as custom database of user in openfire tutorial.
Depend on the tutorial, you may be can't make it work.That's the issue, first if you want to change the configuration, you need do it before install. If you already installed, you need change the property manually in database related table is 'Ofproperty'.
*important, after this if this still not work, occur 'user can't login', it may because the database character, you can check wether the database default character is UTF8.
That's for the custom database integration.
Below, let's talk about http-bind.
If you want to use instant message with HTTP/TCP, you need configuration with http-bind.
Step 1: In openfire console -> server setting -> http setting, enable the http-bind and better enable the syntax.
Step 2: If you use apache, need configuration the httpd.cnf, load module about proxy. What I used is haproxy, I think this is better than apache.
Here's my configuration, I want to haproxy to forward a subfolder, like when visite http://host.com/http-bind, it will use the proxy.
Here's the code:
frontend web-balancer
bind 192.168.10.10:8080 #Ip and port, also you can use domain
acl need_bind url_beg /http-bind #this return url contain http-bind
use_backend backend_server if need_bind #if true will use backend server
default_backend default_server
backend backend_server
server web01 192.168.10.10:7070 weight 5 check #this is the openfire http-bind
backend default_backend
server rails-1 192.168.10.10:3000 maxconn 30 check inter 20000 fastinter 1000 fall 1 #except http-bind, will use this default server
