Web-based administration panel
Most administration of the server is done through a web interface, which runs on the ports 9090 (HTTP) and 9091 (HTTPS) by default. Administrators can connect from anywhere and edit the server and configuration settings.
Features
Openfire supports the following features:
- Web-based administration panel
- Plugin interface
- Customizable
- SSL/TLS support[3]
- User-friendly web interface and guided installation
- Database connectivity (i.e. embedded HSQLDB or other DBMS with JDBC 3 driver) for storing messages and user details

- Full integration with Spark (XMPP client)
- Can support more than 50,000 concurrent users[4]
The proprietary extension to Openfire allows multiple server instances to work together in one clustered environment. This extension is now open source as well (but depends on Oracle Coherence, a commercial product). There is also an open-source clustering plugin based on open-source Hazelcast technology.
