we have setup  openfire on REDHat linux ent version for our LAN users and also wanted our external users to connect to the same server.
For our chatting requirements, used miniclient with some enhancements/enforced restrictions.

Planned setup for internal and external users :
1. opensource.semanticindia.com [ for our internal users] / the Name of the Linux server
Through NAT created IP and DNS im.semanticspace.com and directed all external users using the same.

We have issue for users connecting externally. 

Pasting the response we got

your domains are the problem. You cannot use different domains for internal and for external users. The domain must be the same.
XMPP is domain based similar to email. You also don't have 2 different email domains for internal and external usage.

You have to make the server accessible internal and external with the same domain. The domain must be the domain listed under xmpp domain in your server configuration. Otherwise authentication will always fail.

Why does it fail?
Because the domain is part of the authentication. username, password and the domain are part of the authentication. When one of these is wrong then it fails.

We were able to connect using Spark client to connect to opensource.semanticindia.com inside LAN and from external  IP using im.semanticspace. We thought that it might be domain issue.Please suggest us how can we do the same using Miniclient.

It will not work with every client which is using the secure DIGEST-MD5 auth. No idea what Spark is using.

try:

  1. xmppCon.Username = "someuser";
  2. xmppCon.Server = "opensource.semanticindia.com";
  3. xmppCon.Password = "secret";
  4. xmppCon.AutoResolveConnectServer= false;
  5. xmppCon.ConnectServer= "im.semanticspace.com";

or setup the correct SRV-records.
