We are phasing out the old XMPP\/Jabber server (buddyspace.org) and would like to migrate users to a new Openfire based server running at (msg.open.ac.uk).<\/P>
All automatic contact groups have been transferred to the new server, so you should see the same set of groups as you see logged into the buddyspace server. <\/P><\/p>\n
For a super lightweight browser based access, you can get going instantly by logging in at: http:\/\/msg.open.ac.uk\/msg<\/a> or for more info look at http:\/\/msg.open.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n For BuddySpace client users, set the host name in login preferences. Make sure you tick the SSL option for secure connection!<\/i> For BuddySpace Map users, set the JID and Map node in the Mapping preferences. Note that a leading slash is now required in the Map node field<\/i>. Once you are logged in you can retrieve a map using the ‘Get Published Maps’ option on the ‘Maps’ menu. For example, to get the KMi office map for the msg server:<\/p>\n All groups and users from the buddyspace.org server have been replicated on the msg.open.ac.uk server. If you are an administrator for one of these groups, you can still update it’s membership and map publications by logging in at http:\/\/msg.open.ac.uk\/admin<\/a><\/p>\nNotes for BuddySpace Client Users<\/h3>\n
