We have now upgraded the SSL certificate with a new certificate from Letsencrypt. This certificate will auto-renew every three months. This is now automated and should not again expire like we have had today.
We have reverted to StartCom due to some issues with some clients complaining about the certificate, but we will test again soon. Just now we are back to StartCom for Ejabberd. On the website we still use Letsencrypt.
I will install a new SSL certificate today, sorry about the expired error message!
We have had some server issues that have been fixed.
We are working resuming the service asap.
Problems are solved, thank you for the patience.
Hello, we are experiencing some server issues and we are working on this to resume the service. We will be back in production as soon as possible.
Now we have executed a real cleanup in the user database removing all unused accounts and also accounts that looks like they are not created for personal use. All the accounts that we have identified have now been deleted and removed releasing something like ~24 000 accounts. Accounts left on the server is the actual users that we support 🙂
It seems that we have found the spamming accounts on the Jabber Norway server and these has been blocked now. This looks to have seased the attack from our server and jabber.org has lifted the block.
We have been notified that we might have some users participating in a DDOS attack against jabber.org and we have therefore been blocked towards their server. Investigations on the accounts involved is being done and we will resume normal service when that is fixed.
Please also see this info: http://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/operators/2014-February/002205.html
Updates will be posted when normal service is resumed.
It har been a while since we blocked new registrations to the server (due to spam/bot attack). We will now purge old unused accounts to clean up the user database. Any unused account the last 3 months will be cleaned out, so if you havent logged on for a while, now it the time to do it! 🙂
Remember that you can still get a new account if you send an IM to stian@jabber.no, stian@barmen.nu or email to stian@barmen.nu. This will be a manual process so please be patient and also remember to put in your preferred account username + an alternative or two.
We are also working to migrate to a new solution for user regitration and account management. We might move the whole server onto a new plattform for Jabber Norge, but before we do that we will do some testing with our recently acquired domain jabber.im. Stay tuned for that 🙂
