[Wocky] configuration settings for jabber clients

[Paul B. Hill]

Thanks Greg.

On Windows I am able to use Exodus, using this configuration information.
BTW, Mark mentioned that if someone has to use "force old SSL" then port
5223 should be used by that client. 

I am having a problem when using Gaim on Windows. The authentication hangs.
On Exodus, I saw the dialog box that complained that the certificate of the
server didn't match the name of the host. I told it to always use that
certificate anyways. I am not seeing a similar dialog box on Windows. I
wonder if it is waiting for me to confirm the certificate, but doesn't have
a way for me to confirm it? Was there anything that you had to do with the
configuration on Athena to deal with the certificate of the server?

Paul

(Looks like they spell it Gaim, not GAIM.)

The server name is jabber.mit.edu.  The port number is 5222, which is
the standard Jabber port.

The domain part of the Jabber IDs is mit.edu.  The way this looks in
gaim is that the "Server" is mit.edu and the "Connect Server" (under
"Show More Options") is jabber.mit.edu.  A client with SRV lookup
support can just use the mit.edu SRV record to find the server.  Gaim
doesn't have this support; I don't know if iChat and Adium X do.
