Hvordan du bruger Transport med Kopete Jabber-pluginet

Hvorfor dette dokument?

Den 18. maj 2005 blev Kopetes understøttelse af MSN ødelagt af en opgradering af Microsofts server. Selv om en løsning hurtigt blev fundet, så nødvendiggjorde dette at brugere opgraderede deres version af Kopete, hvilket ikke altid er muligt. Desuden kunne dette ske igen også med andre proprietære protokoller.

For de, der ikke kan opgradere og som skal bruge MSN i Kopete er det muligt at forbinde ved brug af Jabber transports.

Hvad er Jabber transports?

Jabber er en instant messsaging-protokol som MSN og ICQ. Hvis du ikke allerede kender til den, så besøg Wikipedias side om Jabber.

En Jabber transport lader en person fra Jabber-netværket kommunikere med andre netværk (som MSN og ICQ).

Kopete har indbygget understøttelse af andre protokoller. Dette er bedre, da understøttelsen af disse protokoller ofte er mere fuldstændig. Funktioner som filoverførsel og avatarer virker ikke altid med transports. De funktioner, som en transport understøtter afhænger af transportens type (hvilket netværk den formidler) og af, hvilken version af transporten, som serberen bruger.

The support of transports in Kopete is a bit limited, but still usable.

Create a Jabber account

If you don't have a Jabber account already, you need to create one.

If you can't, or don't want host a Jabber server yourself, find a public server. There is a list of public servers available at xmpp.net If possible, select one which has a support for the gateway you want to use.

In Kopete, click Settings -> Configure, go to the accounts page and click the button to create a new account. Select the Jabber protocol. Click on the button to register a new account. Here, enter your server, your desired login and password. Once the account is created, you can click next and get connected.

Welcome to the jabber network.

Subscribe to a Gateway

• Click on the account icon (the small light on the right hand side of the statusbar).
• Select <menucoice>Services...</menuchoice> and retrieve the list of services from the server.

Select the gateway you want and click subscribe.

If your server doesn't have the gateway you want, you still can use the gateway of another server. It seems that you have to choose development version (with tag "DEVELOPMENT") of transport to work with MSN.

Servers that are known to support it:

• jabber.org.uk
• myjabber.net
• bloodyxml.com
• borderlinenormal.com
• (add more here)

Enter here your MSN login and password (or ICQ,....)

Now all your MSN contacts will be added to the Jabber list.

How to add MSN contacts

If you can't add the contact [email protected], and if your MSN gateway is called msn.bar.com here is how to do it.

In Kopete, click add new contact. Select your Jabber account and fill in the contact identifier (it's friend%[email protected] in the above example, i.e, replace @ by %, and add the gateway name).
