Jabber

Jabber, also known as XMPP, is a server to client type software for near real-time, instant messaging (IM), presence information, and contact list maintenance.

If you run into trouble get in touch with the IT team.

• Get fleet notifications when they form
• Join chatrooms of special interest groups
• Keep in touch with Brave members outside of the Game (join the room named brave)

You need to be set up with Core Auth for Brave in order to access the BRAVE Jabber. If you don't have a core account, do this first.

Verify that your API key is valid. It should have a checkmark on the left side and say "All Clear" on the Keys page.

Grant the Jabber Management App authorization to use your Core information.

Authorize
Double check the correct character is being displayed, click the triangle to select another character.

• If you see a Server Error, refresh your web browser.
• If you see an IndexError: list index out of range, Core doesn't know about any of your characters. Please try adding a new API key or refreshing your old API key at the Keys page.

Configure your password in the Jabber Management App.

When shown the Jabber password page type a good password or passphrase into the box and press enter. This password needs to be complex, but it is saved for you in Jabber so you will generally only need to remember it the first time. It can also be changed at any time in the future.

Step 1	Step 2
When you see one green check, your password is adequately complex.	After you press enter you should see two green checks. Your password is not saved until you see two green checks.

• You can use this site to generate a strong password you can copy and paste into the manager.
• A four word sentence (special characters and spaces are permitted) usually works.
• If you paste a password into this box you must press enter twice.

You can connect to our server using any jabber client of your choice. Be aware that your client needs info to connect to the server. This info is applicable to all clients, though order of entry or slight name differences may occur, and some fields may be left blank or on default.

• You do not need to specify a port or server to connect to. Connection settings should automatically be discovered by your client.
• Sometimes clients ask for a username in the format <username>@<domain>, just use the values found above.
• If you client has encryption settings, chose to require encryption.
• You no longer need to create an account in your client.

• It is recommended to join the room named brave, it is the lobby where everyone hangs out.
• In case you are only interested in pings, being connected to the server is sufficient, you don't need to enter any room.

Once you are connected to our jabber server you are automatically receiving pings. You don't need to join a specific room for that functionality.

Be aware that by clicking on Groups on http://core.braveineve.com, you can Opt-In and Opt-Out of some ping groups.
