Gmail S2S outgoing only, need fix for incoming

Openfire Openfire Support
1

Hi All,

As the subject states, I can send IMs from my Openfire 3.4.5 server to Gmail, but can’t receive IMs from Gmail – Gtalk displays "user@email.com is offline and can’t receive messages right now". I’ve setup S2S and the SRV records according to the FAQs and forwarded the necessary ports on our firewall. I created test accounts on jabber.org and foxybanana.com, from which I am able to send/receive IMs, get status messages, add contacts perfectly via S2S. Just can’t get our server to work with Gmail successfully and seeking assistance.

Here is a debug log of trying to IM between Spark and Gtalk:

Have you tried using the gateway plugin instead?

3

The plugin works fine, but it doesn’t solve this problem.

4

After a bit of searching on the net, turns out quite a few folks with XMPP servers are having similar S2S issues with Gtalk. Anyone know if Google is going to fix their code or if Openfire 3.5.0 is going to contain a ‘fix’ to work with Gtalk?

5

Google’s implementation changes and release schedule is know only to them. As for using google with openfire, I can not answer development questions, but I can say the gateway plugin works well for me. Why are you looking to use S2S instead of the plugin?

6

It sounds like you’ve been bitten by the google apps team edition bug. Basicaly someone with an email address activated google apps for the domain before you had the _srv record (or before google changed their code to check for that). So now google thinks that it handles xmpp routing for the domain. To fix it you need to mail xmpp@gmail.com

Regarding S2S v. transport, I want folks to be able to connect to/from any service without having to create Gtalk accounts and be accessible using their known email address instead of some random Gtalk name.

The Google Apps SRV record bug makes perfect sense now as I signed up for the demo a couple months ago and completely forgot about it. Sent them email to see about getting it fixed. btw, the correct email appears to be xmpp@google.com, the gmail acct you posted bounced.

Logged in to Google apps as an admin, deleted the chat service, works great now. Thanks much!
