Do I have to use Pidgin or Adium to access EagleChat?
You are free to use other IM clients that support the Jabber (XMPP) protocol for Instant Messaging, but Pidgin and Adium are the only IM clients currently supported my the EMU IT Help Desk. Additionally, some IM clients may require a certificate. The DigiCert website contains a list of valid certificates. The certificate you need to download is dependent on the IM client. Contact your IM client provider for more information.
