When Will IM Be Out Of Beta - Update

Please track the following bug:

Performance Issues Caused By IM [BETA]

Please note, that this bug has had a significant enough impact on performance of production servers that we recommend not running IM [BETA] if you have no significant reason to do so.

To turn off IM:

zmprov -l -v mcf full zimbraXMPPEnabled FALSE

And then you'll need to start and start zimbra:

zmcontrol stop
zmcontrol start

Enabling IM [BETA] - 5+ ZCS Server

Check to see if it's enabled:

zmprov gacf zimbraXMPPEnabled

If it returns FALSE, you'll need to set it as TRUE:

zmprov -l -v mcf full zimbraXMPPEnabled TRUE

Now to enable via the COS's for the users. I'll assume you are using the COS called "default" for your domain below - change it if your using another COS for the variables below.

Check to see what current status is:

zmprov gc default zimbraFeatureIMEnabled
zmprov gc default zimbraFeatureInstantNotify

If they return FALSE, set them to TRUE.

zmprov -v mc default zimbraFeatureIMEnabled TRUE
zmprov -v mc default zimbraFeatureInstantNotify TRUE

And then you'll need to stop and start zimbra:

zmcontrol stop
zmcontrol start

What Happen to AOL IM and MSN?

From the 5.x Release Notes:

Note: Update about Instant Messaging feature - In order to ensure the scalability of our server software and provide a quality experience to our customers, we have removed IM interoperability with AOL and MSN that was present in previous 5.0.0 beta releases. This functionality may be restored in a future release.

3rd Party Client Setup Up Examples

Please see:

Additional information on those clients can also be found here:

Ajcody-Notes#IM_-_Instant_Messaging_Clients

Addresses things like group chat /conference rooms and so forth.

ZCS to ZCS IM Availability

Please review the following bug and note the DNS SRV entries I posted within it.

Integration With External IM Servers

Please see:

IM And Legal Intercept And Archiving

This might also be relevant:

IM - Conference Rooms

Please see the RFE I made:

Also the bug/RFE about Conference rooms in Multi-Server Configurations

Embedded IM Requests To Join Chat Session In Html/Email

Formats are (I think, still investigating this):

You'll need to configure your OS to handle the protocol when called to, so that it launches the correct application.

IM And DNS SRV Records

Show ports are in use:

[root@mail3 ~]# lsof -P -n -i :5222
 COMMAND  PID   USER   FD   TYPE  DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
 java    5869 zimbra  143u  IPv6 6530439       TCP *:5222 (LISTEN)
[root@mail3 ~]# lsof -P -n -i :5269

[root@mail3 ~]# lsof -P -n -i :5269

An example of what I've added to my internal DNS/BIND zone record:

$ttl 38400
zimbra.DOMAIN.com.    IN      SOA     zimbra.DOMAIN.com. ajcody.zimbra.DOMAIN.com. (
                        1207910051
                        10800
                        3600
                        604800
                        38400 )
                                              IN      NS         mail3.zimbra.DOMAIN.com.
zimbra.DOMAIN.com.                            IN      MX      10 mail3.zimbra.DOMAIN.com.

_xmpp-client._tcp.zimbra.DOMAIN.com.          SRV     5 0 5222 mail3.zimbra.DOMAIN.com.
_xmpp-server._tcp.zimbra.DOMAIN.com           SRV     5 0 5269 mail3.zimbra.DOMAIN.com.
_jabber._tcp.zimbra.DOMAIN.com.               SRV     5 0 5269 mail3.zimbra.DOMAIN.com.

mail3		IN	A	192.168.0.16

The _jabber._tcp if for backward compatibility for older servers and shouldn't be necessary.
