Google apps for your domain and adding AIM/MSN/etc contacts

[ozak]

Hey, i've followed the guide on the main page about this, and it works with my gmail account.
But I have google aps for your domain for my domain.

For those memebers it connects in psi and they can see thier google talk contacts but, when i go to browse service discovery in psi, I get nothing.

I've tried it on every jabber server, even my own, it shows as connecting, but doesnt send any packets. Any ideas?

We use Google apps for the BigBlueBall staff, too, but I haven't tested the AIM/MSN/Y! connectivity with that account (I used my old Gmail account for that). Maybe someone else on the staff (or anyone else using a Google Talk with a custom domain) can chime in with their experience?

I have the very same problem. I got it working with my regular gmail account just perfectly. Unfortunatley I run into the same problem that service discovery just doesn't list any services with my hosted gmail domain. I've tried many servers as well.

I googled and hit this page, hopefully someone can figure out a work around. Is there any other way to register the service?

I managed to find this tip:

I've added the SRV records to my domain. It is not working just yet. Hopefully the dns will expire soon. I will try again tomorrow.

I've tried the AIM/MSN/Y! connectivity with my BigBlueBall Staff account (as Jeff says we have), and I had never been able to get it working.

Google Apps for your domain has different, more limited functionality in some aspects. This may just be something that can't work unless Google adds it.

Please keep us posted! I'd love to hear if there is a way to make it work.

Same problem as of June 27th, 2007.

I could add MSN/AIM to my regular gmail account, but when I try my Google Hosted Domain account, I can not get any services listed under ANY jabber address I try. Really sucks. If anyone ever finds a solution, please post it!

has anyone got custom_domain+gtalk+3rd_party_transports working, even after the srv updates to the dns?

I came across this thread while trying to do exactly what the many posters before me have been describing, and I am happy to say I've gotten it working.

After adding the SRV records, I also could not get a Jabber client to browse the available transports on a server, however when I attempted to register the transport by name it succeeded.

I can't imagine why the browse functionality is working with GMail but not Google Apps, but if you can browse with another account or know the transport by name already then hopefully trying this will help.
