Openfire 3.4 Clustering Beta Program

We need your feedback on the Openfire Enterprise 3.4.0 Beta with Clustering!

Why We Need Your Help

A major milestone in Openfire scalability and redundancy has arrived (in beta), and you have the chance to contribute to its success and get nice benefits in return. Clustering in Openfire Enterprise was engineered to support a larger number of users on a single domain by utilizing several servers working together to handle the load. The other major benefit of clustering is redundancy so that when more than one server handling the load it is possible for one of the servers to fail while keeping the service operational.

Many portions of the Openfire server needed to be rewritten for this release. Therefore, it is very important that you help us test the server before we release the final version!

Happy testing,

Openfire Team

the first bug report would be a windows installer which is now freezed at “uninstalling previous version” for 5-10 mins.

Hey wroot,

Could you post the bug report in the discussion page of the beta space? Remember to post more information that would be needed to reproduce the problem.

Thanks,

naah, dont have time to post real bug report and this is not about clustering anyway:) actually it did uninstall old version, just installer hanged up. so i had to kill it and run again.

Another non-cluster issue is that plugins are not deleted until you restart server.

In overall it seems that everything is working fine and you havent broken anything with that clustering thing. Plugins uploading works. User’s roster management works (though there is some ???user.roster.filter??? strange string on that page). So i’m waiting for a 3.4.0

BTW, what’s the system property for disabling rss feed in Admin Console?
