Creating Two Jabber Accounts

Next, you will create two Jabber accounts on your Jive Messenger server. You use one of these accounts as your personal account; ColdFusion server will use the other account. Use the following steps:

  1. Open the Jive Messenger administrator at http://127.0.0.1:9090.
  2. Click the Users/Groups link in the top menu bar.
  3. Click the Create New User link in the left-hand navigation.
  4. Enter your preferred user name. For example, for my personal account I entered matt. Note that this should be a simple user name instead of a full e-mail address.
  5. You may optionally enter a name and e-mail address.
  6. Enter and confirm a password for the account.
  7. Click the Create & Create Another button at the bottom of the form.

Next, repeat these steps to create a user that the ColdFusion server’s event gateway will use.

  1. In the user form, enter a username for the ColdFusion server. I got extremely creative and called mine cfserver.
  2. You may enter a name and e-mail address, or simply leave these blank.
  3. Enter and confirm a password for the account. Make note of this because you’ll definitely need it later!
  4. Click Create User at the bottom of the form.

Now with the Jabber accounts created on the Jive Messenger server you can install a Jabber client and log into the personal account you just created.
