Here is an updated version of my patch for fixing missing LSB information in Openfire init-script. (Read more about it here)
The patch should apply cleanly to Openfire 3.6.4 init-script. If you have any problems, feel free to contact me.
Note: You need the ‘patch’ program installed (apt-get install patch).
UPDATE: I’ve corrected the patch command. Thanks ButterflyOfFire for pointing it out.

If you’re looking for a good jabber/XMPP server with LDAP/Active Directory integration. Have a look at Openfire. It’s working really great and you can push contacts to your clients. No need for adding every employee of your company on your users client.
I’ve installed Openfire on Debian Lenny. Here is a short description, of what you have to do.
1. Enable non-free sources.list
You have to add the non-free repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list, because you have to install sun-java6-jre
(You can also use sun-java5-jre, but on my freshly installed Lenny, sun-java6-jre has less dependencies).
Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list:
1 2 3 4 5 | # # lenny # deb http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free |
1 2 3 4 5 | # # Security updates # deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free |
After adding the non-free repository, run apt-get update.
2. Install SUN Java 6 JRE
1 | apt-get install sun-java6-jre |
3. Download latest version of Openfire as .deb
You can find more information about versions here.
1 | wget http://www.igniterealtime.org/downloadServlet?filename=openfire/openfire_3.6.3_all.deb |
4. Install Openfire
1 | dpkg -i openfire_3.6.3_all.deb |
5. Fixing missing LSB information (not required)
During installation of the Openfire packet, update-rc.d is reporting, that LSB information is missing from init-script.
As I don’t like such warnings, I’ve created a patch for adding the LSB information.
Note: You need the ‘patch’ program installed (apt-get install patch).

I will soon write an article about configuring Openfire for Active Directory connection.
