S2S between 3.4.2 and 3.6.0

Openfire Openfire Support
1

We are in the process of Migrating from a old openfire install (3.4.2) to a new install of openfire (3.6.0) on a different server. One reson for doing this was that we wanted to implement ldap login on the new server.

Well, during the migration we’re tying to establish a S2S connection so while we’re moving users to the new server, the new server users will be able to communicate with the users on the old server.

I’m been having a bit of dificulty setting that up though.

I’ve gone through the directions as far as each server configuration. One problem I’m seeing is I do not see any traffic passing between the machines on port 5269. I set up tcpdump on the newer server to chek traffic. nothing.

Also, does 3.8.2 have a bug related issues doing this. Does it matter that I’m trying to create a link between two different versions of openfire?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Kevin,

are you switching to LDAP and to a new xmpp.domain and thus als a new JID for every user?

s2s should work with every version as it complies to the xmpp protocol which has nothing to do with the Openfire version. As soon as name@oldserver.foo tries to send a message to newname@newserver.foo the s2s connection should be established. If this fails you should see error messages in the log file of oldserver.

Anyhow I would do switch the version on one day, so the users do not need to care about two servers … messages sent to name@oldserver.foo will likely never be forwarded to newname@newserver.foo so a lot of messages may get lost and a lot of confusion takes place.
