Now we're on the final leg of our journey. This last step is common to both Windows and Linux environments. We've installed Openfire and it's up and running. Now we need to fuse life into it, which is a colorful way of saying that we need to tweak certain settings and point it to our network.
We must tweak these settings from Openfire's Web interface, which runs on port 9090. To access it, launch your browser, and in the address bar enter your IP address followed by a colon and 9090. For example, if the Openfire server is running on a machine with the IP address 192.168.2.5, then the server interface is at http://192.168.2.5:9090
