I've updated Open Archive for the latest version of Openfire and fixed a few bugs. Dele is about to add support for it to the Red5 SparkWeb client.

Open Archive is a XEP-0136 compliant server side message archive for Openfire. It is available as a plugin from here.

To install the plugin just rename the jar to archive.jar, place it into the plugins folder of your Openfire server and enable it in the Openfire console at Server Settings/Archive Settings.

For those interested in the source code have a look at its development site.

Update

Dele has published an updated version of the Red5 plugin that makes use of Open Archive. You can download it from http://red5.4ng.net/red5-0.1.07.zip.

This is a short step-by-step howto that shows how I've installed OpenVPN on OpenSolaris 2008.11.

Step 1: Install GCC

# rolemod -K type=normal root
# pkg install SUNWgcc

Step 2: Install the TUN/TAP Driver

Grab the TUN/TAP driver for Solaris, unpack it in /usr/local/src and configure it:

# mkdir -p /usr/local/src
# cd /usr/local/src
# wget http://www.whiteboard.ne.jp/~admin2/tuntap/source/tuntap/tuntap.tar.gz
# tar xvfz tuntap.tar.gz
# chown -R root:root tuntap
# cd tuntap
# ./configure

On 64bit you must modify the generated Makefile to call ld with the correct options. Add a LDFLAGS variable and replace $(LD) by $(LD) $(LDFLAGS):

LDFLAGS = -melf_x86_64
...
modules: tun.o tap.o
        $(LD) $(LDFLAGS) -r -o tun tun.o
        $(LD) $(LDFLAGS) -r -o tap tap.o

Run make and make install. The errors from /usr/sbin/rem_drv can be ignored as the module usually wasn't installed before so it obviously can't be removed.

Step 3: Install OpenVPN

Grab the latest RC of OpenVPN 2.1 (currently 2.1rc15) and unpack it in /usr/local/src:

# cd /usr/local/src
# wget http://www.openvpn.net/release/openvpn-2.1_rc15.tar.gz
# tar xvfz openvpn-2.1_rc15.tar.gz
# chown -R root:root openvpn-2.1_rc15
# cd openvpn-2.1_rc15

You must replace tun.c from OpenVPN with the corresponding patched file:

# wget -O tun.c http://www.whiteboard.ne.jp/~admin2/tuntap/source/openvpn/2.1/tun.c
# ./configure --disable-lzo
# make
# make install

If you do not disable LZO compression you must install the LZO library and headers before. We don't use it so we don't bother.

The OpenVPN binary is now available in /usr/local/sbin/openvpn.

Step 4: Configure OpenVPN

Configuration of OpenVPN is not different on Solaris than on any other supported platform. You can find the detailed documentation in the OpenVPN Howto.

If you get a Can't set PPA 1: File exists (errno=17) error and OpenVPN exits the tun interface may still be plumbed. Remove it with

# ifconfig tun0 unplumb
