| Technical description (what makes IntraMessenger so unique) |
Its architecture directs it to a company usage, and immediately give high security level :
- No open listen port (socket), only centralized web request to the server (call url with parameters : php scripts) : makes possible great flexibility, and very advantageous to not be blocked by firewalls.
- No file transfert (avoid the transfer of controlled origin files, or data leakages/missing).
- Centralization of the exchanges (systematically trough server).
- Can authentication by extern existing database : forum, groupware, CMS, ERP, CRM, LDAP (force login to Windows username)...
- Server open source (PHP/MySQL) : allows flexibility, and simple and easy adaptability.
- Installation, parameter setting and easy supervision of the server.
See Usage diagrams (classic ou extern authentication).
Its purpose isn't to be one more MSN/Yahoo Messenger like, by proposing functionalities can (maybe) be too advanced (not so useful in company or being able to create safety risk fault) : file transfert, webcam, and voip are not include.
