Re: RE:MSN Messenger SERVER for linux?
The gentleman did a reply (not reply-all), so I thought I'd answer and cc
the list.
The MSN Messenger server (bundled with Exchange 2000), implements the MSN
Messenger spec, and supplies interfaces for the "passport" authentication
used by those wacky Microsoft Services.
In and of itself the server doesn't call outside, but users of your site
attempting to authenticate using passport (say to download a service pack
from Microsoft, or some such nonense) will have a connection established on
their behalf for authentication services.
The actual spec used by this thing can be found on google (although it's not
officially supported), which is why I was wondering if anyone had seen/heard
of an open source version :)
