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
