Trusted Hosts

If you are not running your IM server anonymously then you should define your "trusted hosts" in this tab to allow communications from other servers. This allows you to build a network of trusted IM servers that your users can be contacted from.

Hosts Tab - List of Items

Any communications from the Domain/Host pairs listed will be allowed access.

The Host is only required if it different to the Domain name and is not resolvable via DNS lookup.

Hosts Tab - Edit Item

Field

Description

Domain

A domain whose users you want to allow IM access to your server.

Host

The Host name of the IM server, if different to the domain name and not resolvable via DNS lookup.

NOTE: If the Host name is different to the domain, then a DNS SRV record should be set up by the domain owner.

An example format of the SRV record is:

_xmpp-server._tcp.<Domain>. 86400 IN SRV 0 5 5060 <Host>.

Where Domain is the domain to be contacted and Host is the actual host, so if you are the owner of domain icewarp.cz and you are running your IM server as im.icewarp.cz you should create a DNS SRV record as follows:

_xmpp-server._tcp.icewarp.cz. 86400 IN SRV 0 5 5060 im.icewarp.cz.
