First Run of Psi

On the first run of Psi the Add Account wizard starts:
Choose and enter your friendly name for the account.
Do not check the Register new account box.

Press Add. The Account Properties dialog is displayed:
Select the Account tab and enter your IceWarp Server email account (Jabber ID) and password.
Select the Connection tab:
By default, the Manually Specify Server Host/Port check box is not ticked. Keep this setting unless it causes problems (e.g. the server does not have set DNS correctly).
In this case, check the Manually Specify Server Host/Port, enter the hostname of the IceWarp Server IM Server. Leave the port as 5222 unless you have the IM server listening on a different port.
Select connection encrypting mode (Encrypt connection).
There are two ways how to use SSL:

* Connect to a SSL port and immediately perform SSL negotiation – the Legacy SSL item.

* Connect to a non/SSL port, send a special command to the server and then perform SSL negotiation (the Always and When available items).

Therefore:

* If you connect to 5223, you have to use the Legacy SSL option – nothing else will work.

* If you connect to 5222, then:

- If you choose the Never option, SSL is not used at all.

- If you choose the When available option, SSL is used if the server answers that it can use it.

- If you choose the Always option, SSL is used.
Tick/tick off the Ignore SSL warnings check box.
It is safe (and recommended) to have this box ticked off.

In some cases, these warnings can be caused situations that are not serious issues (e.g. trusted but expired certificate). This can be very annoying if you work in trusted network. Ticking this box is the solution.
Select the Allow plaintext authentication mode.
NOTE – that "Allow" means that this type of authentication is possible but NOT forced in all cases.
Click Save to complete your account setup.
