Cisco Webex Connect IM utiliza Jabber como protocolo de chat, por lo que Pidgin (o cualquier cliente Jabber) debería poder trabajar con él. Aquí le mostramos cómo configurar una cuenta de Webex Connect en Pidgin:
XMPP protocol
Basic tab
Username: first part of your Webex username before the @domain
Domain: the part of your webex username after the @ sign.
Resource: blank
Password: your Webex IM password
Local alias: whatever you want to show up for you locally in
the chat window when you send messages, such as your
username, instead of the lengthy Jabber ID string
Advanced tab
Connect port: 5222
Connect server: c2s.<your domain>.webexconnect.com
Jabber (y obviamente Pidgin) tiene soporte para conferencias / salas de chat, y Webex Connect también lo hace a través de un servidor de conferencias personalizado:
Buddies menu: Join a chat
Account: choose the XMPP Webex account
Room name: whatever you want, or a known existing one
Server: conference.isj1.webex.com (should already be filled in)
Handle: whatever username you want
Inviting people once in the room:
Conversation menu: Invite
Buddy: enter their email address. Should show a list of matching names to select and invite.
