Hello community,
I’m hoping someone can clarify something for me:
domain: example.com
Openfire looks like it runs on: im.example.com
That is to say, when clients log in, they log in as @im.example.com.
Openfire is actully running on: im01.example.com
xmpp.domain = im.example.com
xmpp.fqdn = im01.example.com
In DNS, im.example.com is a CNAME pointing to im01.example.com.
What should the SRV records look like?
-A-
jabber.tcp.im.example.com. 3600 IN SRV 0 0 5269 im01.example.com.
xmpp-client.tcp.im.example.com. 3600 IN SRV 0 0 5269 im01.example.com.
xmpp-server.tcp.im.example.com. 3600 IN SRV 0 0 5222 im01.example.com.
-B-
_jabber._tcp.im.example.com. 3600 IN SRV 0 0 5269 im01.example.com.
_xmpp-client._tcp.im.example.com. 3600 IN SRV 0 0 5269 im01.example.com.
_xmpp-server._tcp.im.example.com. 3600 IN SRV 0 0 5222 im01.example.com.
I’ve seen it both ways in the forums and I’m hoping to get a definitive answer for the record.
In my setup, it works with -B-, not -A-. I run Openfire on a private network. My DNS servers are Windows Server 2003 domain controllers, my Openfire server runs on Linux. My clients run Windows or Linux and some connect via VPN.
Thanks.
