[JDEV] Newbie: c2s SSL

[Richard Körber]

Hi!

I have a stupid question about Jabber SSL. I think I got
it right, but since it is security related, I better be
safe than sorry...

I am frequently working with my notebook in untrusted
network environments, so I want to encrypt all my traffic
between Gabber and my own Jabber server to keep my privacy.

I read about the SSL configuration in the Jabber server
FAQ (1.14). Will Jabber use SSL to encrypt the entire
communication? (Sorry again, I guess this question is
really stupid.)

Second question: my server does not have a static IP, but
I get a new IP every 24 hours. Now, the SSL config requires
an IP address:

   <ssl port="5223">your-ip-address</ssl>

Can I skip it somehow, like  <ssl port="5223"/>  ? Or do
I have to update the server configs everytime I get a new
IP?

Thanks in advance!

Regards
