-
have Openfire 3.3.2 installed and working on my home network (gateway plugin can even connect to the other protocols I need - cool!) on a standalone FreeBSD server that sits behind a router with a static IP
-
I have http-binding enabled, and open on ports 8080 and 8483, and the router points any requests to those ports to the server that Openfire is running on
-
From work inside the Corp firewall, if I visit http://myhomeip:8080 I get the page:
Openfire HTTP Binding Service
- From work inside the Corp firewall, if I visit https://myhomeip:8483 I get the page:
Openfire HTTP Binding Service
- From work inside the Corp firewall, I cannot get Pidgin to work, even when I point it to my server, and tell it to use 8080 or 8483. I’ve set it to use the server, also set it on the 2nd tab to use the server as the ‘connect’ server, I’ve tried setting it as a HTTP Proxy on that 2nd tab - I always get the error from Pigdin: "Could not establish a connection with the server:
Windows socket error #10060"
-so-
Here’s my setup:
Me - IM client
|
|
Corp firewall
|
|
INTERNET
|
|
home IP/router
|
|
Openfire listening with HTTP-binding on 8080/8483
Things work fine at home out to the Internet - I have services on the server (email, www, etc) that have worked for years, so I know those, and the router, are setup correctly. What am I missing? Is there an end-to-end HOWTO on this that I’m missing? (I’ll write it if I can get this working) How can I connect Pidgin from within the Corp firewall to the server running Openfire on HTTP-binding? Do I need to just run JWChat on the Openfire server and connect that way? Do I have to have the rewrite rule for Apache to send: :8080/ /http-bind? I skipped that since I can do NAT with my router (not at home now otherwise I’d look into it)
Thanks
