Setting Up Advanced iChat Service Configurations
29
By default, iChat selects a port using a preinstalled, self-signed SSL certificate. You can
select your own certificate. The selected certificate is used for client-to-server
communications on ports 5222 and 5223 and for server-to-server communications.
Jabber provides the following ports:
 5222 accepts TLS encryption
 5223 accepts SSL encryption
SSL encrypts your chat message over the network between client-to-server and server-
to-server connections. However, if your iChat server is logging chat messages, your
messages are stored in a unencrypted format that can be easily viewed by your server
administrator. For information about message logging, see “Configuring Logging
Settings” on page 21.
To select a certificate:
1
Open Server Admin and connect to the server.
2
Click the triangle to the left of the server.
The list of services appears.
3
From the expanded Servers list, select iChat.
4
Click Settings, then click General.
5
From the SSL Certificate pop-up menu, choose an SSL certificate.
The menu lists all SSL certificates that are installed on the server.
To create or add certificates, choose Manage Certificates from the SSL Certificate pop-
up menu.
For more information about creating and managing server certificates, see Server
Administration.

1
Open Server Admin and connect to the server.
2
Click the triangle to the left of the server.
The list of services appears.

From the expanded Servers list, select iChat.
