About this task

Follow these steps for troubleshooting XMPP community connections and awareness

Procedure

  1. If the XMPP community cannot connect, check the following areas:
    • The firewall is open for all possible incoming and outgoing connections from the other domain. For information about firewalls and ports, see the topic Opening ports in the firewalls.
    • SRV records are well defined for ALL domains defined in the internal domains community page. Use the following command:
       nslookup -type=SRV -class=all _xmpp-server._tcp.DOMAIN_NAME.com
      Where DOMAIN_NAME is your domain name.
    • Your SRV record can be resolved by a public DNS. You can use the nslookup command from a computer outside the organization or by using public DNS resolution web sites. You can use SRV verification instructions from technote 1316296 Collecting Data: Lotus Sametime Gateway XMPP community awareness issues.
    • Your partner domain SRV record can be resolved by your DNS, and can be checked using this command:
      nslookup -type=SRV -class=all _xmpp-server._tcp.DOMAIN_NAME.com
      Where DOMAIN_NAME is your partner domain name.
  2. If an XMPP proxy is installed, check the following:
