TODO: Move links over to apache infra, XMPP instructions still up to date?
Introduction
Okay, so now you have WIAB up and running on your laptop. You can successfully login and talk to yourself. Now you're getting the urge to talk to other people on other Wave servers. In order to do this you need to Federate.
In order to federate your server you are going to need the following:
- A domain name
- An ssl certificate from a trusted source (in this case, we use StartSSL)
- An XMPP server
This document will walk you through setting up federation. With the exception of the configuration script, the instructions will be OS agnostic.
The utility of waves is greatly enhanced if they can be federated in the sense that they are shared between users from different organisations, hosted by different service providers across the Internet. This is accomplished by the Apache Wave federation protocol, a server-to-server network protocol between service providers, supporting low-latency, concurrent updates to conversations ("live typing") and domain authentication.

- The secure server authentication design.
- The draft protocol specification.
- Wave in a Box installation instructions.

After you have installed your XMPP server and the Federation extension, you can federate with other Wave servers.
