Openfire Admin Console
**Openfire Administration Console** is a web interface used to configure, manage, and monitor the Openfire real-time collaboration server, which supports XMPP messaging. It enables administrators to easily perform server maintenance, user management, plugin control, and monitor server statistics using an intuitive graphical interface typically accessed via a web browser..
Openfire is an open-source XMPP (Jabber) server widely used for facilitating real-time communication within organizations. Its Administration Console is the centralized, browser-based portal provided on port 9090 (HTTP, unencrypted by default), allowing system administrators to configure the server’s messaging capabilities, user rosters, security settings, plugins, and real-time monitoring tools.
The console leverages standard web technologies, providing intuitive navigation to modify server settings and manage connected users and groups. It can handle integration with databases, LDAP directories, and various authentication services. Administrators can deploy plugins directly from the console to extend server functionality, such as adding archiving, gateways to external IM services, or additional real-time features.
By default, the console runs unencrypted over HTTP, but it is configurable to run over HTTPS (typically on port 9091) to secure management traffic. The console’s accessibility and control capabilities make it essential for ongoing Openfire server administration but also warrant careful security considerations.
