 Setting Up and Managing iChat Service

 

If you are using a certificate with iChat, select “Require secure server-to-server 
federation.” 

This option requires an SSL certificate to be installed, which is used to secure the 
server-to-server federation. For more information, see “Securing S2S Connections”  on 
page 28.

To permit unrestricted server-to-server communication, select “Allow federation with all 
domains.”

To restrict server-to-server communication to servers that are listed, select “Allow 
federation with the following domains.” 

You can add or remove domains using the Add (+) or Delete (–) buttons below the list.

For more information about server-to-server communication, see “Linking Multiple 
Chat Servers (S2S)”  on page 27.

Click Save.

Use Server Admin to configure iChat to automatically save chat messages in a location 
of your choice and to specify when to archive the message log.

Open Server Admin and connect to the server.

Click the triangle to the left of the server.

The list of services appears.

Click iChat and then click Settings.

Click the Logging button.

Select “Automatically save chat messages” to keep a record of user chat messages sent 
over network.

In the Location field, enter a location or click Choose to browse to a folder where you 
want to save the chat message logs.

Select “Archive saved messages every __ day(s)” and enter a number in the field to 
archive the saved chat message logs on a schedule. 

The number is the interval of days between each archive.

Archiving saves disk space by compressing older message logs. The compressed 
message archives are saved indefinitely until removed by the administrator.

Click Save.

Use Server Admin to start iChat service. After you start iChat, it restarts when the server 
restarts.
