1. Description

HCoop is running a closed registration Jabber server.

We are using ejabberd with the PAM authentication method. This means that your Kerberos password is now your Jabber password, and that every HCoop member has an account.

We have file uploads enabled, allowing files up to 100MiB each with a 30 day auto-expiry and 1GiB quota. If you need to share larger files or for extended periods of time, you should be sharing it using the web server instead.

2. Client Setup

$USER refers to your HCoop username.

Please add info for any clients you use.

  2. Go to the "Accounts" section
  3. Select "Jabber" from the "+" menu in the lower-left corner

Note that your resource will be "Work" and you cannot change this (as far as I can tell)

2.1.3. Gaim / Pidgin

http://www.pidgin.im/

  1. Open the Accounts dialog (Tools->Accounts or C-a)

  2. Add a new account
  3. Set the type to Jabber (in Gaim) or XMPP (in Pidgin)

  4. Screen Name = $USER, Server = hcoop.net
