I am a newuser to Openfire and Spark. I have completed setting up Openfire on my mac localhost and created a new user successfully. I installed Spark and when trying to login with new user credentials with Domain:localhost and Server:localhost as displayed in the below screenshots I keep running into “Unknown connection error …” problem. I have enabled the Smack Debug window and following is its info -

What is the name of you Mac machine? You can try reinstalling Openfire and using that name for the domain instead of localhost. I haven’t used Mac OS, so i can’t tell for sure, but maybe localhost name is creating problems with connection. Of course, naming it as Mac machine’s name is only for testing on the same machine, not for actual usage in production environment.

Thank you for the quick reply @wroot I cannot find an option to uninstall Openfire in the web portal page. Can you please guide me how to perform uninstall on Mac. Also alternatively I have tried using Adium client to connect with Openfire and it worked like charm. I am having only problems with the Spark client

I don’t know how to uninstall Openfire on Mac as i don’t use that OS. Probably the same as with other apps.

I was able to login to my server using localhost as domain or host, but my server is not named as localhost. Maybe Spark\Smack can’t handle it when server is named as localhost. As it probably can’t decide whether it should search for a domain localhost or just use local machine to login. Anyway, using this is ok for short testing, but you wouldn’t want to use such names in production.
