[jadmin] RE: JAdmin Digest, Vol 35, Issue 3

[Jean de Largentaye]

You'll want to install one of the many available jabber servers, have
a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jabber_server_software

My recommendation from personal use is either ejabberd or wildfire.
Jabberd14 is also a good choice, and jabberd2 (which isn't an upgrade
of jabberd14, rather a re-architecture) has just come out of bit-rot
;) (though not from it's original website, look at the archives of
this list)

Installing any of these servers is explained on each of their
webpages. If you've got some rudimentary sysadmin skills, it shouldn't
be any trouble.
Your main issue will be to find out how to get your jabber server to
use your (probably) existing user database, but each server has some
examples to get you running. I got an ejabberd to use an ldap backend
quite easily, except for a trap*.
Once you've chosen a server, you'll get most help on installing /
using it from its forums / mailing list, rather than here.

You'll then have to install jabber clients on your user's PCs. From a
personal use, I prefer Psi, although it's starting to lag behind in
terms of features (still no starttls or SRV handling, tss :p). It
might not be adapted to corporate use... I don't know.

Hope this helps.
Jean

* I had to purge the configuration database of ejabberd, as it was
keeping deprecated authentication configuration even over restarts.
