Port Multiplexing
Prosody can handle multiple protocols on a single port. This allows you to offer both XMPP and HTTP on port 80 for example.
Usage
To use multiplexed ports, enable mod_net_multiplex and use the 'ports' and 'ssl_ports' option in the configuration file:
The following makes Prosody accept HTTP, XMPP client, XMPP server and XMPP component connections on each of these three ports:
ports = { 5222, 5269, 80 }And the following makes Prosody accept HTTPS, XMPP Direct TLS connections on both the specified ports:
ssl_ports = { 443, 5223 }For S2S authentication to work correctly, requesting and verifying client certificates must be enabled:
ssl_ssl = { verify = { "peer", "client_once" } }Configuration
| Option | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ports | {} | Ports which handle HTTP, XMPP client, S2S and component connections |
| ssl_ports | {} | Ports which handle HTTPS and Direct TLS connections |
| ssl_ssl | {} | Custom TLS settings |
