Spark Can't connect to Openfire server
-
my goal for implementing this project is to let the users in my company communicate with each other. and spark with openfire was the best free solution i have found.
what shall i do to let all my users be able to connect to the server? -
You will need ports 5222 and 5223 opened for Spark to connect (5223 only for SSL.)
-
what is the commend that i should type on centOS?
-
Try this...
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=5222/tcp --permanent firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=5223/tcp --permanent firewall-cmd --reload -

Another awesome platform, but very different, is Rocket.Chat. I plan on making an installation guide for that shortly as well.
Those are are, so far, the best that I have found for running free inside your own company.

I doubt it. On the other hand, it's not that hard to get OpenFire integrated into AD/LDAP. Just an annoyance with needing a new version of one of the files the OpenFire server uses. (See my reply in the howto thread. Should have a 1-liner you just have to paste into a shell.) I haven't even rolled out AD yet, but OpenFire is connected and working with it.
Guess I'm doing a lot of talking to me, myself, and I for the time being

haha.. alright then.
but it's an excellent tool .. i love it ! -
btw, when i finished the openfire installation, it asked me to put an admin account, but when i try to login to the admin portal it keeps saying the user or password is wrong. any way to reset it from cmd?

no, not by default. However, what you can do is to make a group that includes all users and force that list to everyone from the admin console.

Username is "admin"
Are you use that you got the name correct? Try that, resetting can be done but will be a bit more work.

Great! We are making progress.
