Accessing Redbrick Jabber

Below are various methods to access the system.

GUI Clients

There are numerous GUI based clients out there with various features and strengths.

If the client supports TLS/SASL connections point the client at:

  • server: jabber.redbrick.dcu.ie
  • port: 5222

And make sure to turn on the option for using TLS/SASL.


If the client supports SSL connections point the client at:

  • server: jabber.redbrick.dcu.ie
  • port: 5223

And make sure to turn on the option for using SSL.

Please remember the server does not accept non encrypted traffic.

If your stuck behind a firewall...

If your stuck behind a firewall (say in your place of work) you can attempt to use Port Forwarding using Redbrick, however this has been met with mixed results so far.

Web Client

We have setup a beta web client on the redbrick website at https://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/jabber.

The client uses javascript to operate so you may need to enable this in your browser and to give our site popup access, for anyone who uses popup blocking on their browser.

I've found that the web client does not work in Opera. It does work in IE5 however. --The Dead One 16:45, 14 Nov 2006 (UTC)

Please be aware that this client is made available as for testing purposes however we hope to either get a better client or integrate the current one better into the site.

Console Client

In the pipeline :)

Feedback

Many thanks to those who have the time to give it a try.
