You can connect to your XMPP server with any standard desktop XMPP client, such as [Pidgin](http://pidgin.im/), [Gajim](http://gajim.org), [Jitsi](http://jitsi.org/) or [Adium](https://adium.im/).

The credentials to give are :

Your XMPP server runs on the standard port 5222. Your administrator might need to forward this port if the server is behind a router.
