Jaim.at update to support Remote Roster Management for transports to legacy networks like AIM, ICQ, MSN, YAHOO and XMPP.
Remote roster is a “proto XEP” which allows your server to synchronize legacy network contact list with your users’ rosters. Currently it works only for local users (users registered on the same server which supports this protoXEP). It’s available for Ejabberd 2.1.x and Prosody.
- When they register their account and login for first time, they won’t receive lots of subscribe presences or Roster Item Exchanged stanza. All their legacy network buddies just appear in their roster with proper groups and nicknames.
- When they will unregistering their account, buddies are just removed from their rosters without need of unsubscribing them.
- When they rename some buddy in their Jabber roster, it’s renamed also in legacy network.
- When they move some buddy into different groups, it’s moved also in legacy network.
- All changes made in legacy network when transport is disconnected are synchronized with Jabber account once they become online in Jabber.

ejabberd has gained a STUN server, helping Jingle communications.
STUN stands for Simple Traversal Utilities for NAT. And NAT stands for Network Address Translation.
NAT devices, such as routers and firewalls, translate a private IP address into a public IP address. When you are not directly connected to the internet, but you are in a LAN behind a NAT, you can only know your private LAN address. Thus a Jingle contact of yours may not be able to join you.
STUN is a protocol designed to discover the mapping between your public and private address. A STUN server is located on the public internet, thus knowing the public addresses. Then if you are behind a NAT and want to initiate a Jingle session with a contact, you can discover and send your public address to this contact.
ejabberd’s STUN server will help Jingle communications to happen when parties are separated by a NAT, by providing a public service for IP addresses and ports discovery.

thx frz@jaim.at

This transport allows JaIM.at Jabber users to register and connect with a existing Yahoo! account to the Yahoo! Messenger networks from their Jabber roster.
Usage Guide
You must already have a Jabber client (a program to connect to a Jabber server) set up with your Jabber account to follow these instructions
These are generic instructions, intended to be useful no matter which Jabber client or what operating system you are using. Please read through them in their entirety before beginning.
Getting started – Registration
To register with your Jabber client, follow these steps.
- First, you must check that your Jabber server has the Yahoo gateway installed. To do this, look for a menu item or button labelled something like “Browse Services”, “Service Discovery” or “Transports/Gateways”.
- To proceed you must be able to choose to register with the Yahoo Transport from the browse list. You can usually do this by double-clicking it’s icon, or clicking it and choosing register.
- Type your Yahoo passport into the username field (eg, fred_beef ) and fill in your password.
- When you click the register button you will receive a Jabber authorisation message (to do with allowing users to view your online status) for each user on your Yahoo list. This can be a lot of messages. Some clients (notably Psi) provide an option in the advanced section to auto-accept authorisation requests. You may wish to turn this on before continuing, and then turn it off afterwards. Please note that this flood will only occur once, upon registration of the transport.
- Click the register button, and accept any subscription messages you see.
- You should now be registered with the Yahoo! transport. You should see the users from your Yahoo! contact list appear. These steps will not need to be repeated.
Adding a friend to your list
To add a person who only uses Yahoo! to your contact list you must translate their Yahoo passport (eg, Bob ) into a Jabber ID. This is very simple to do.
Many clients will do this for you automatically if you tell them to:
- In Psi, choose “Add Contact” from the menu.
- Select Yahoo from the list
- Type your friend’s Yahoo ID in the box
- Click the “Get Jabber ID” button, then click “Add”, and you’re done.
For clients that do not support this, you must manually translate their Yahoo ID. Here are some examples:
- If the Yahoo account is bob@yahoo.de, and your Jabber server’s Yahoo Transport address is yahoo.jaim.at, then the Jabber ID of that Yahoo user is bob@yahoo.jaim.at
Chatting with friends
- To chat with a Yahoo user you perform the same process you would for a Jabber user, simply double-click their name in your contact list, and chat type a message.
- To start a groupchat (more than one person in a “room”) with Yahoo users you must do the following.
- Join a room on the chat.yahoo.jaim.at server.
Setting personal details
- Out of all the data in your Jabber vCard, only the photo and your nickname can be sent to Yahoo users.
- You can set a nickname in Psi by going to Account Setup->Modify->Details->Edit Personal Details. In recent versions this will allow you to set your avatar as well.
- Your Jabber status message appears to Yahoo users as the “Personal Message”
Multiple Resources
Jabber allows you to log into your account multiple times. For example, you could be logged in at home, at work, and on your laptop simultaneously.
Because Yahoo Messenger does not have any concept of this, messages will always go to your highest priority resource by default. It is important to set the client you’re using to a higher priority that the ones that you’re not.
If you do happen to send a message to somebody from a lower priority resource, then messages from that person will be sent to that resource until:
- You log out from that resource.
- You send a message to that person from another resource.
- That user closes the chat window on their machine.
Things that don’t work yet
- Please do not add yourself to your contact list.
Misc Notes
- If you wish to remove the Yahoo transport and all of your Yahoo contacts from your Jabber contact list you must be sure to remove the Yahoo transport first, followed by the contacts. If you do it the other way around then your Yahoo contacts will be removed from the Yahoo server’s contact list too (so the next time you sign in with Yahoo Messenger you will have no contacts)
- Jaim.at update to support Remote Roster Managment for transports to legacy networks like AIM, ICQ, MSN, YAHOO and XMPP.

Sending SMS with your Jabber Client: A Jabber transport allows a Jabber user to communicate with other types of non-Jabber networks. Most Jabber users use a transport to communicate with other legacy IM services, such as AIM, MSN, ICQ or Yahoo. With your Jabber client, you can now send SMS messages to almost every country at a small cost.
With a Jabber client available on almost all computing platforms, including PDA and smartphones, you have a very low-cost and handy solution for sending SMS.
Four steps to Jabber to SMS:
1) Jabber Client download
2) Create a jabber account
3) Please register an ASPSMS account
4) Register the sms.jaim.at transport with your Jabber-Client

This transport allows JaIM users to register and connect with a existing MSN account to the MSN Messenger and Windows Messenger networks from their Jabber roster.
Usage Guide
You must already have a Jabber client (a program to connect to a Jabber server) set up with your Jabber account to follow these instructions
These are generic instructions, intended to be useful no matter which Jabber client or what operating system you are using. Please read through them in their entirety before beginning.
Getting started – Registration
To register with your Jabber client, follow these steps.
- First, you must check that your Jabber server has the MSN gateway installed. To do this, look for a menu item or button labelled something like “Browse Services”, “Service Discovery” or “Transports/Gateways”.
- To proceed you must be able to choose to register with the MSN Transport from the browse list. You can usually do this by double-clicking it’s icon, or clicking it and choosing register.
- Type your MSN passport into the username field (eg, fred@hotmail.com) and fill in your password.
- When you click the register button you will receive a Jabber authorisation message (to do with allowing users to view your online status) for each user on your MSN list. This can be a lot of messages. Some clients (notably Psi) provide an option in the advanced section to auto-accept authorisation requests. You may wish to turn this on before continuing, and then turn it off afterwards. Please note that this flood will only occur once, upon registration of the transport.
- Click the register button, and accept any subscription messages you see.
- You should now be registered with the MSN transport. You should see the users from your MSN contact list appear. These steps will not need to be repeated.
Adding a friend to your list
To add a person who only uses MSN to your contact list you must translate their MSN passport (eg, bob@hotmail.com) into a Jabber ID. This is very simple to do.
Many clients will do this for you automatically if you tell them to:
- In Psi, choose “Add Contact” from the menu.
- Select MSN from the list
- Type your friend’s MSN ID in the box
- Click the “Get Jabber ID” button, then click “Add”, and you’re done.
For clients that do not support this, you must manually translate their MSN passport. Here are some examples:
- If the MSN passport is bob@hotmail.com, and your Jabber server’s MSN Transport address is msn.host.com, then the Jabber ID of that MSN user is bob%hotmail.com@msn.host.com
- If the MSN passport of the user is fred@yahoo.com, and your Jabber server is jaim.at, then the Jabber ID of that user is fred%yahoo.com@msn.jaim.at
- All that happens is the @ symbol is exchanged for a % sign, and you add @msn.jaim.at to the end.
Chatting with friends
- To chat with a MSN user you perform the same process you would for a Jabber user, simply double-click their name in your contact list, and chat type a message.
- To start a groupchat (more than one person in a “room”) with MSN users you must do the following.
- Join a room on the msn.jaim.at server. The room name is not important, just make sure it does not have a % sign in it.
- Invite your MSN contacts to this room to chat with them
- Note that you cannot invite other Jabber users to this room. Attempts to do so will fail. This will not be possible in the future either
Setting personal details
- Out of all the data in your Jabber vCard, only the photo and your nickname can be sent to MSN users.
- You can set a nickname in Psi by going to Account Setup->Modify->Details->Edit Personal Details. In recent versions this will allow you to set your avatar as well.
- Your Jabber status message appears to MSN users as the “Personal Message”

Jabber allows you to log into your account multiple times. For example, you could be logged in at home, at work, and on your laptop simultaneously.

If you do happen to send a message to somebody from a lower priority resource, then messages from that person will be sent to that resource until:
- You log out from that resource.
- You send a message to that person from another resource.
- That user closes the chat window on their machine.
Things that don’t work yet
- Avatars and file transfer are supported, but only in the latest release. So you need to make sure your Jabber client supports avatars and file transfer.
- Please do not add yourself to your contact list.
Misc Notes
- If you wish to remove the MSN transport and all of your MSN contacts from your Jabber contact list you must be sure to remove the MSN transport first, followed by the contacts. If you do it the other way around then your MSN contacts will be removed from the MSN server’s contact list too (so the next time you sign in with MSN Messenger you will have no contacts)
- If your MSN transport session seems frozen, and logging in & out doesn’t fix it. Try double-clicking the MSN Transport icon in your list, and sending a “end” as a message. That should log you out of MSN and you can try using the transport again.
