Instant Messanger Client

[IPMHanwei]

Hi,

Does any1 know of any Instant Messanger Client that works well with zimbra?
I do not want my users to be able to connect to other network like msn, icq etc when using the program.

Any program that just wrk directly with zimbra?

Thanks.

Hi Pidgin will do just fine.

Just in case you need it.

Adium is great on Mac OS X, but like most other clients it supports other protocols.

To stop your users accessing other services I think you are into firewall and proxy rules.

PSI works as well. Basically any client that supports the Jabber protocol has a fairly good shot at working.

Whereas I can connect to ZCS' IM with pidgin (using wiki), I fail to do so with Psi.
How did you make it work please ?

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)
