Hi all,

Not sure if what I am trying is even possible ...
I would like to integrate Openfire with a website and I hope that it is possible with a plugin.
The users will not have an account in LDAP and I was unable to install it that way anyway.
Only selected users should be able to connect to the chatrooms (also with a plugin).

I first unzipped Openfire version 4.7.3 to a flexshare, but eventually I would like to install it in /usr/share/openfire and started openfire.sh manually.
I was able to connect from a client to configure it.
When I attempted to run it like a service I failed with the following message:
# systemctl enable temp_openfire.service
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/temp_openfire.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/temp_openfire.service.

This does not start Openfire.

/usr/lib/systemd/system/temp_openfire.service:
[Unit]
Description=Openfire
After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
Environment="NAME="
EnvironmentFile=-/var/flexshare/shares/test/_openfire/bin/openfire
ExecStart=/var/flexshare/shares/test/_openfire/bin/openfire
User=openfire
Group=openfire

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Please advice.

Hi all,

I eventually managed to get it working with this HowTo.
Still have a lot of questions, but for now I am satisfied.

Edit:
Of course this was a test setup.
Openfire Meetings is not the right choice for a pH7 site.
AFAIK version 4.2.3 for ClearOS is for a LAN.

    Maybe you can get some help on the Openfire forum.
    This is not a ClearOS package and the question an not specific COS related.
    Difficult to get some support on here

    Can someone help me out please, because I don't know how to figure this out by myself.
    It seems to be possible to use the Pade plugin for Openfire to connect with a webcam on a webpage (https://your_server:7443/ofmeet/testconf).
    I am working in a test environment with an admin (Pidgin) and a test user (Spark), both are on LAN clients, so I don't need to worry about ports.
    Both accounts can login to a chatroom and communicate.

    The next step is to use the Pade plugin to be able to use a webcam.
    I am unable to login the test user in the login screen.
    According to a post I read, it's required to install Pade on the server and create a certificate for it.
    According to the Pade manual I only need to enable the SIP gateway, a new user called jigasi will be created and it will join a global conference called jigasi with the focus user focus.

    Before things get even more complicated, these are my questions:
    How do I enable the SIP gateway (no explanation of this is in the manual or online) ... ?!?
    Does Openfire come with default self signed certificates ... according to the manual it should work on a LAN out of the box ... ?!?
    How do I make Openfire 4.7.3 a service, so I can start it at boot time (see my 1st post) ... ?!?

    Please advice.
