Jabber Howto

Jabber (these days usually called XMPP) is an instant messaging protocol, automatically available to all A/I users.

Some of its features include:

• We keep no logs on our servers
• Encrypted connections (among network users) are possible
• Supports OTR

General parametres for Jabber client configuration

Your Jabber ID is the same as your A/I email address.

No further configuration should be needed with any modern XMPP client, the autodiscovery mechanisms will automatically tell your client which server to connect to.

Jabber clients

We wrote some manuals to configure some of the major Jabber clients available (images are only in Italian, but we guess you can understand that much)

• Pidgin (windows and linux) and OTR encryption plugin.
• Conversations (android)
• CoyIM (windows, mac and linux)
• Adium (mac)
• Psi (windows, mac e Linux)
