Examine can be configured to send Test Suite completion notifications using the XMPP/Jabber protocol. To enable this functionality,  the administrator must configure a Jabber server using the Administration->Jabber screen

The Connect on server startup option instructs Examine to establish an XMPP connection on server startup. If a connection cannot be established on startup, an error will be logged on the console and notifications may not be delivered to the recipients correctly. So it is recommended that this option be enabled after verifying that a test instant message can be sent.

The Host, Port values correspond to the Jabber server host and port.

The username and password to log into the Jabber server must be specified as well if required.

If TLS/SSL option is enabled, all XMPP communication with the Jabber server will be secure. By default, Examine is configured to use to the default cacerts truststore that comes bundled with the Sun JRE. This truststore contains the certificate of well-known certificate authorities (CAs). However, the administrator can override this option and select another truststore to use. This option is useful when working with self-signed certificates that are not issued by any CA.

The Enable Client Authentication option enables SSL client-authentication with the IM server. By default this option is disabled as this requires that the client also possess a valid certificate. If the server running Examine contains a valid X.509 private / public key pair, then the keystore containing this key must be selected.
