How to remove the prefix "ignite" when we add a user (for example: "john@ignite.conteso.com")

Hi Openfire team,

Recently, our company(conteso1.com) has acquired another company(conteso2.com). Hence, we have configured the Server-to-Server Connectivity between two ignite servers located at each domain for IM-Chat services.

The hostnames of the two ignite servers are as follows,

  1. ignite.conteso1.com

  2. ignite.conteso2.com

Further, when we add a user of another domain(conteso2.com) in spark from conteso1 domain, we give the entry in ‘Add contact’ field as "john@ignite.conteso2.com".

Now, i would like to know, if there is any possiblity by which we can avoid the prefix “ignite” in the domain part of the user id (i.e) “john@ignite.conteso2.com”

Please make a note that we have configured Openfire with Microsoft AD at both domains.

WIth Best Wishes,

If you can setup Openfire and the clients again this is easy. You may want to use DNS SRV records for the xmpp protocol and use “conteso1.com” / “conteso2.com” as the Openfire domain. If you need more info about SRV records you may search for “xmpp dns srv” with for example Google or Bing.
