Using PSI with SSL Connection with Jabber
In this Example should be explained How to use the Messenger PSI with CAcert's Root-Certificates to implement SSL Connection with Jabber Servers like jabber.ccc.de
1.) First you need PSI 0.10 or above itself (http://psi-im.org/)
2.) Then you have to download the CAcert.org Root Certificate from http://www.cacert.org/index.php?id=3 in order to use it with e.g. jabber.ccc.de and to store it in the PSIDADADIR Path.
Default value of PSIDATADIR:
- Linux, MacOS X and other Unices
~/.psi/
- Windows NT, 2000, XP and Server 2003
%UserProfile%\PsiData\ (usually C:\Documents and Settings\username\PsiData )
- Windows 95, 98 and Me
%ProgramFiles%\Psi\PsiData\ (usually C:\Program Files\Psi\PsiData )
See also (for Windows Version C:\%programFiles%\Psi\certs\README)
This directory contains the SSL certificates shipped with psi. The files should be in PEM format, and should have the extension ‘.crt’ or ‘.pem’. Please use PSIDATADIR/certs for local additions.
3.) Login and enjoy
