[AG-TECH] Spam sent to room text chat

[Dinale, Justin]

Andrew,
A few emails a go you said "I am just fiddling with the Openfire jabber source code to add the appropriate bit that will hopefully make it work with single inverted commas (to avoid needing to upgrade everyone's client).", does this mean you were able to change the AG client side to work with Openfire?
We're using AG on an intranet, and for us upgrading everyone's client is a reasonable option. If you did change the AG client side, how much work did it entail?

Cheers,
Justin

Hi,

It appears that there are too many problems in the AG Toolkit Jabber client to make it work with other servers.  I got it to work with openfire by changing openfire to send an id with single inverted commas instead of double ones.  This lead to other issues, the main one being that it assumes that the jabber server is conference.{sub-domain}, rather than checking with the server to see what it is registered under.  So jabber.mcs.anl.gov becomes conference.mcs.anl.gov without checks.  Other servers don't seem to do things this way i.e. they tend to make the server conferernce.jabber.mcs.anl.gov.  This is too fixed in the openfire code to change, so I have given up for now.

Andrew :)

Andrew,

I had installed OpenFire a while ago and wasn't able to get it to work with the VenueClient.  Perhaps the quotes were the reason.  Please let me know if you need someone to test your fix.

thanks

Michael

Hi,

Interestingly, I am looking at this at the moment.  Unfortunately, the Jabber client in the toolkit has a bit of code that assumes that the XML attributes use single inverted commas.  I am just fiddling with the Openfire jabber source code to add the appropriate bit that will hopefully make it work with single inverted commas (to avoid needing to upgrade everyone's client).

I will put it somewhere when I have done and let the list know.

Andrew :)

Dear all,

We received porn and ads to the text chat in our Venue Server Lobby
room. I have checked the jabber server the venue client uses is the following

       "VenueServer.textHost" : 'jabber.mcs.anl.gov',

I wonder if there are some documents that explain how to deploy our own
jabber server. Or at least a way an admin can add some filters to
avoid non allowed IP addresses send messages.

Thanking you in advance.
Kind regards,
