Usernames with the @ symbol / Voip Client for Wildfire

Openfire Openfire Support
1

Hi,

I just downloaded Wildfire and created a couple of users. According to Wildfire usernames can not contain the @ symbol. However I would like to connect to my server using an XMPP Voip client. I currently use Jabbin which requires usernames to contain the @ symbol. I have had a look at some other Jabber Voip clients and they all use @s in their usernames.

How can I configure Wildfire to accept usersnames with the @ symbol?

Or alternativly can someone recommend a open source Voip client which works with Wildfire?

With kind regards

Matthew

Hi Matthew,

is the ‘’@’’ really in the username? Or does it just seperate the username and the domain like "user@example.com"? For xmpp/jabber "user@example.com" is a bare JID, “user” is the node identifier and “example.com” is the server name (Wildfire xmpp.domain).

Update: http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0106.html#encoding describes how to escape special characters like ‘’@’’ within the username.

It turned out to be a naming problem with my server. The hint with the escape character helped me find the missconfiguration.

Thank you.
