Zimbra IM Setup with external Programs.

[VTC]

Im trying to utilize the Zimbra IM in any external program, to refrain from having to keep open the webconsole.

When we used PSi a Jabber Client, were getting a certificate error.

Our cert is reg. by GoDaddy.

Any suggestions as to proper setup or correct program.

I can connect to my ZCS box with Pidgin, using SSL/TLS. I'm using a self-signed cert as well. I don't think I've ever tried PSi before.

With Psi I get a invalid cert as well (Equifax) (or a different message if I try against a self-signed) followed by an XML parsing error no matter what set of options I configure - if you figure it out a trick make a wiki page like these:
Pidgin and Zimbra - Zimbra :: Wiki
Spark and Zimbra - Zimbra :: Wiki
Adium and Zimbra - Zimbra :: Wiki

Are there some experiences using zimbra and psi?

I have successfully added my zimbra account to pidgin xmmp.
But with psi (0.12) i get this error after answering to non valid ca certificate (selfsigned).

There was an error communicating with the server.
Details: XML-Analyse-Fehler (Parsing-Fehler)

error log from psi console: XML pastebin - collaborative debugging tool

I'm trying to use Psi with Zimbra aswell.
Currently we're running a third part ejabberd server, with all users using psi, but we'd like to strip this ejabberd and use the chat function of Zimbra.

I tried to setup my zimbra account in PSI, but it fails, whereas I got more success using pidgin (on port 5223).

I read this thread, any others but I still get this XML Parsing Error.

Here are the settings I used (on a ZCS 6.0.6, with psi 0.14) :

$ zmprov gacf zimbraXMPPEnabled
zimbraXMPPEnabled: TRUE

Psi Account Tab :
user@MYDOMAIN.com (which is also my email)
(All other tabs are default)

Ports :
I can telnet 5222 and 5223 from client host.

DNS : (mail.MYDOMAIN.com hosts Zimbra, also the MX record of my domain)

Am I missing something ? (I guess I do, some got it working :P)

thanks

I'm pretty much sure PSI isn't compatible with the IM engine being used by the ZCS.

Don't even bother trying PSI; look to Spark instead. That's what I honestly have to say.
