 Setting Up Advanced iChat Service Configurations

 

Setting Up iChat on Virtually Hosted Domains

iChat requires that your host have a host name to be used as the Jabber realm by the 
iChat server that is resolvable using DNS. This host name is used as the Jabber realm by 
the iChat server, and clients use this realm to connect to the service.

Clients use a Jabber Identifier (JID) to authenticate and interact with the server. The JID 
is in the format <user>@<realm> (for example, chatuser@chatserver.example.com). In 
this example, your iChat service should be configured to host the realm 
chatserver.example.com.

DNS resolution directs clients to your server when they resolve that host name. To 
support multiple realms, DNS should be configured appropriately. For more 
information, see Network Services Administration.

Open Server Admin and connect to the server.

Click the triangle to the left of the server.

The list of services appears.

From the expanded Servers list, select iChat.

Click Settings, then click General.

Change the realms served by iChat by adding a virtual domain to the Host Domains 
list.

Domains that are added will be supported as Jabber realms.

Click Save and restart iChat if necessary.
