Hi Support,

Since im not successfull configuring my openfire to authenticate on the 3 different domains i want to try multiple instances. Currently on my test inviroment im running 3 openfire server to cater each domain so far it works fine using the 3 openfire server they can send/received and add users to every domains. So this means i need to managed 3 servers at same time which i dont want if Multiple instaces can work. Please advice.

Thanks,

Albert

Thanks for the reply Rahul!

Currently i have 3 openfire server and configured S2S setup. Im thinking to install it on a single server but multiple instances so that i dont need to managed 3 servers just for the openfire. I hope you can give some advice on this.

FYI, reason why i have 3 servers is because i have 3 different domain. I gave up on configuring the multiple LDAP authencation because no clear documentation about the steps.

Thanks,

Albert

  1. Extract openfire with the name in /opt/openfire_2

  2. Go to /opt/openfire_2/bin/ and change the name of the openfire file to openfire_2

  3. Go to /opt/openfire_2/conf/openfire.xml and change the console ports from 9090 and 9091 to 9098 and 9099

  4. Create shortcut sudo ln -s /opt/openfire_2/bin/openfire_2 /etc/init.d/

  5. Run sudo service openfire_2 start

  6. Open the browser localhost:9098 and start setting up as you want with different domain.

Do not forget to change the xmpp ports to something else than 5222.
