XMPP-Server

The SPADE framework needs an XMPP-Server used for the communication among the agents. If you use the Docker-Container and Docker-Image provided by us, everything is already prepared and all packages are installed.

If you do not use Docker, we recommend to use the XMPP-Server Prosody IM and install it locally. However, Prosody IM does not support Windows any more. Alternatively, Openfire can be used.

Openfire

Openfire is an XMPP-Server implemented in Java and running on all platforms.
See also the install guide.

1. Download from http://www.igniterealtime.org/downloads/#openfire
2. Install
3. Configure using
   • the Autosetup or
   • its Webinterface.

Autosetup

Copy the file openfire.xml into the config directory <openfire>/conf/ of Openfire and start Openfire. Openfire will configure itself based on the openfire.xml and start afterwards.

• The username of the administrator is admin with the password admin.
• There is a webinterface at http://127.0.0.1:9090 (but you should not need it).

Webinterface

The webinterface should be available at http://127.0.0.1:9090 after starting Openfire.

The server should only run locally:

• Domain: localhost
• FQDN: localhost

We need the following five users:

• Auctioneer
  • Username: auctioneer
  • Password: auctioneer (Openfire runs locally)
  • E-Mail: auctioneer@localhost
• Bidder1
  • Username: bidder1
  • Password: bidder1 (Openfire runs locally)
  • E-Mail: bidder1@localhost
• Bidder2
