- Save and close all the account windows, and make sure your status is online.
- The client will ask you to confirm the certificate for the server. Either say allow, or trust.

Getting into a chat room

- Click the "Search" button
- In the window that opens click "List rooms", pick the one you want to join and OK everything.
bitlbee
bitlbee is an IRC->IM bridge, so in order to use it you need to already have an IRC client setup. Setting it up depends on your OS and it's most popular on linux, so refer to your favorite distro's guide.
All the following commands are to be done in bitlbee's control channel (usually "&bitlbee", but the user can change to something else).
Getting logged in
Beware that bitlbee will use your irc nickname for all accounts you log in. On the uni's server, you should use your character's name (or the closest IRC-valid approximation you can get) as your handle.
- account add jabber [email protected] forum.password
- account list (to see your account list)
- account n on (where 'n' is the number of the new account)
Getting into a chat room
Unfortunately, there is no way to list chat channels through bitlbee, but you can join one. For example, to join the general 'chat' channel:
- chat add n [email protected] #chat ('n' again is your account number)
- /join #chat
You can put anything valid instead of "#chat" as the bitlbee-side channel name.

Clients with issues
Instantbird
This client doesn't work at all because it refuses the server's SSL certificate and there is no mechanism to tell it to trust the certificate.
