Enable Instant Messaging » Modify (Figure 4.103):
- No: The ejabberd server is stopped and all access to the MSN IM network is unblocked.
- Yes: The ejabberd server is running. The access to the MSN IM network is blocked. The MSN client programs will be blocked, (Figure 4.104) so will the web messenger sites, as we can see in Firewall (Figure 7.20). At Authorized domains we can define witch domains will be authorized to use the IM service.
When the Instant Messaging server is enabled, you'll have the following features:
- List of authorized MSN users from IPBrick Contacts:
- Insert: Clicking the checkboxes you can choose which MSN contacts, from IPBrick Contacts, are reachable through the Instant Messaging server.
- Delete: Clicking the checkboxes you can choose the contacts from IPBrick Contacts that you no longer want to be reachable from accounts logged on the server.
- List of authorized MSN users:
- Modify: Add, one per line, the MSN contacts that you want to be reachable through the Instant Messaging server. All users will be able to reach only the authorized MSN contacts. To remove the authorization you just need to remove them from the text box.
It is possible to use both these features simultaneously, that is, you can be using IPBrick Contacts to allow MSN contacts, and add other contacts in the List of authorized users.
