ProcedureTo Activate SSL Between Servers

Steps

  1. Set these iim.conf parameters:

    • iim_server.usesslport=true

    • iim_server.sslport=5223

    These parameters should already be in the iim.conf file.

    See iim.conf File Syntax for instructions on locating and modifying iim.conf.

  2. Set the server-to-server configuration as described in Chapter 6, Federating Deployment of Multiple Instant Messaging Servers.

  3. Add the following additional parameter to iim.conf:

    iim_server.coserver1.usessl=true

  4. Change the port number of the following parameter:

    iim_server.coserver1.host=hostname:5223

    The port number should be the SSL port of the other server.

  5. Refresh the server configuration using imadmin.


    imadmin refresh server

! communication port
iim_server.useport = "True”
! Should this server listen for server-to-server communication
! using ssl port
iim_server.usesslport = "True”
iim_server.sslport=5223
iim_server.coservers=coserver1
iim_server.coserver1.serverid=Iamcompany22
iim_server.coserver1.password=secretforcompany22
iim_server.coserver1.usessl=true
iim_server.coserver1.host=iim.i-zed.com:5223
iim_server.serverid=Iami-zed
iim_server.password=secret4i-zed
iim_server.secconfigdir = "/etc/opt/SUNWiim/default/config"
iim_server.keydbprefix = "This-Database"
iim_server.certdbprefix = "Secret-stuff"
iim_server.secmodfile = "secmod.db"
iim_server.certnickname = "Server_Cert"
iim_server.keystorepasswordfile = "sslpassword.conf"
