Disable conference

Is it possible to disable the conference service in OpenFire?

After upgrading to OpenFire 3.4.1 my client application has started to get mixed up between the search service and the conference service. The mixup is entirely due to a bug in my client software, however as my users do not use the conference service I would prefer to disable it from the server rather than upgrade all of my users with a bug fix.

Hi Simon,

You can disable MUC by adding/modifying the system property xmpp.muc.enabled in Openfire admin console (Server->Server Manager->System Properties) and set it to false. Unfortunately, you need to restart Openfire for changes to take effect.
