# XMPP Configuration

**XMPP Configuration** refers to the process of setting up a chat client to communicate with a specific XMPP server. At the Universität Greifswald, this process is standardized to ensure compatibility with the central identity management system.

## Required Parameters
To connect to the university's XMPP service, the following parameters are required:

| Parameter | Value | Note |
|-----------|-------|------|
| **Protocol** | `XMPP` | The standard protocol for the service. |
| **User** | `[username]` | The [[zentraler-nutzeraccount]] used for university services. |
| **Domain** | `jabber.uni-greifswald.de` | The official university XMPP server domain. |

## Implementation in Pidgin
In the [[pidgin]] client, these settings are entered via **Accounts -> Manage Accounts -> Add**.

## Security Validation
A critical step in the configuration process is the verification of the server's identity. This is achieved through [[certificate-fingerprint-verification]] to ensure the client is communicating with the legitimate `jabber.uni-greifswald.de` server.
