How do I connect to the openfire server?

Question

How do I connect to openfire server as a client ? I have installed openfire on my machine and want to connect to the server from another machine.

Both the machines are on the same LAN. Basically I want to create a new user by signing up.

It is depend on client api. I used smack. In smack API, you can use org.jivesoftware.smack.ConnectionConfiguration for connection.

The default port is 9090 for the web-based admin console of open-fire server.

http://127.0.0.1:9090

Try as below example :

    ConnectionConfiguration config = new ConnectionConfiguration("localhost", 5222);
    connection = new XMPPConnection(config);

Smack Getting Started

Update You need to plugin to Openfire Server for User Service.

@saplingPro You mean ` web-based admin console`? Check my updated answer. Make sure to do your browser proxy setting. – Zaw Than oo Aug 09 '13 at 05:58

@saplingPro I think there is a confusion about what OpenFire is.

Openfire is an open-source XMPP server.

This means it provides the means to handle XMPP protocol connections. Those would be done by "chat client implementations" . But the server does not provide the implementation itself, only the backend for that. If you are looking for a webchat, you can take a look at this:
