Configuring Py* for remote access

[Bill Weiss]

Hi.

I'm looking for a way to allow a Jabber user at another domain use one
of my transports (specifically, from gtalk, to my aim transport).
http://xmpppy.wiki.sourceforge.net/RemoteAccess suggests that it is
possible, but I'm not following what it says I need to do. I also
would prefer to not open it up to all users everywhere, but just to
one user at gtalk.

Any thoughts for me? I will gladly accept an "RTFM here (url)" or
even a "check the archives". I've done both as well as I could, but
that doesn't mean I haven't missed anything.

it's simple - gate need DNS-record , example:
xmpp-server example.com have pyicq-t, you need record for icq.example.com

You will need to set up a DNS record to point to your jabber server,
but this will allow anyone to use it. If your server is ejabberd than
you can use acl's to limit access. The other alternative is to
disable registration on the transport once you've registered with your
outside account (of course this will disable it for local users too).

Thanks to both of you who replied.

So, if I make a CNAME from aim.example.com to jabber.example.com
(assuming my jabber server is at jabber.example.com), that will allow
external users to register with the transport? Will they do this the
same way they would register for an AIM transport on their jabber
server?

I might hack up pyaim-t to give me ACLs on it if needed.

a CNAME for aim.example.com will allow this yes. (alternatively you can configure a SRV record for _xmpp-server._tcp.aim.example.com to point to jabber.example.com)

Hi Norman

For allowing external users to directly connect to transports the s2s
for the jabber server has to be enabled right?

Kindly let me know.

Thanks

Yes, both dns and s2s (on the server that dns points to) must be set up.
