Spark Access from public Network

Dear Team, We have Open fire server version 3.6.3 (ldap integraded) and we are chating though spark (ver 2.5.8) internaly in the office. I would like to give the spark access to the external world to the specific set of ldap users. Can you pls advice the proceture to publish spark on public network (with required ports etc) and giving rights to specific set of users.

note: Internaly we are connecting open fire server though 5222 and 5223 ports via spark. This is fyi.

Thanks,

Krishna

At present Openfire does not distinguish between internal (private) and external (public) networks so it is not able to apply any limitations to user accounts as per where are they coming from. Basically to allow access from outside your LAN it will require some changes to you network/security settings, i.e. firewalls, NAT/PAT to make things working.
