Openfire has a IM Gateway plugin available to interact with legacy IM services like Yahoo, MSN etc.

Is there any such plugin/module available for Tigase ??

I could not find any plugin listed in the 'Modules and Plugin' section.

Gateways to legacy IM

Gateways to legacy IM systems is a full-time job to implement and maintain it. We can not afford this development right now.

We have the MSN gateway implemented some time ago, however the protocol has changed a few times since then and the gateway stopped working. Instead of working on the gateway code constantly updating it we now offer an API to plug gateways.

There are 2 ways for connecting gateways:

  1. As an internal component using Tigase gateway API - this needs some development effort
  2. As an external component via XEP-0114 protocol. You can use one of existing implementations like PyMSN or any other and connect it to the Tigase server as an external component.

We do not have plans currently for providing gateways built-in to the server.
