I'm having trouble setting up Openfire. The default XMPP Domain Name on the Openfire setup is displaying my computer name, thereby whenever i test through Spark it's not working.
I've tried a domain that i own and a error appeared in the openfire console to add two srv records. After adding the records I'm still unsuccessful in connecting to my openfire server..
So my question is, is XMPP Domain Name just a normal domain? Or do i need to edit some A / SRV records?
Really stuck on getting Openfire up and running, all help will be gratefully appreciated! Thank you!
XMPP addresses, also known as JIDs (Jabber Identifiers) have the form
<localpart>@<domainpart>/<resourcepart>
where localpart and resourcepart are optional. According to RFC 7622 § 3.2 the domainpart can be either a fully qualified domain, an IPv4 or v6 address or an unqualified hostname.
The domainpart for every XMPP service MUST be a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address, or an unqualified hostname (i.e., a text label that is resolvable on a local network).
So a XMPP domain is either
XMPP servers like Openfire need to know which domain(s) they provide. So you need to configure their XMPP domain(s), which is basically the value of the of the JIDs they are responsible for.
XMPP clients, after they have been configured with the user's JID and password, discover the IP addresses and port numbers which serve the XMPP domain of their JID, via a lookup of the matching _xmpp-client SRV resource record (with an optional fallback to an A/AAAA lookup on the XMPP domain name).
