Configuring the Openfire Chat Server

Navigate to "http://openfire:9090" in your web browser (replacing the hostname with your server's if necessary) and you'll see the Openfire administration login screen. Log in and you'll be guided through the setup process as shown below.

Language selection is first.

Next you'll specify some basic server settings. For simple deployments, it's best to leave the defaults in place.

For the database setup step, specify a standard database connection and enter your Postgresql database information.

Unless you really know what you're doing (i.e. you have an existing LDAP environment), leave the default profile settings in place.

The last step in the installation is to set up your administrator account.
