Jabber

Jabber XMPP service

Retirement of jabber.eecs March 27, 2020

March 24, 2020 by Rob McNicholas

IRIS has offered a jabber/XMPP server for a number of years, but usage has dropped to zero as people have migrated to other options. When the current SSL certificate expires March 27, 2020, we do not plan to renew it, and this service will be retired.

As a replacement for this service, we recommend Google Hangouts Chat or Hangouts Meet.

jabber.eecs SSL certificate was updated

April 23, 2018 by Rob McNicholas

The SSL certificate on the Department’s jabber/xmpp server jabber.eecs.berkeley.edu expired at 5pm on April 23 2018. It was replaced around 6:45pm. During that window, people attempting to connect would have received an error that the SSL certificate was invalid.

The new certificate has these properties: * Serial Number: 00:de:f4:8a:a1:d8:0c:0b:69:88:21:b4:82:2c:d1:da:e2
* Expiration Date: Mar 27 23:59:59 2020 GMT
* SHA-256 Fingerprint 10:59:4E:2E:D1:37:7E:92:1D:0D:BE:3C:E1:72:CF:6A:5B:4C:62:55:88:59:0E:5F:CC:3A:51:1B:03:AB:B0:B8

My apologies for the brief outage.
