Nothing has worked up to this point. Starting to think I need to just start from scratch.... So is it
<admin>
<authorizedUsernames>admin</authorizedUsernames>
</admin>
or
<admin>
<authorizedJIDs>admin</authorizedJIDs>
</admin>
that I should try in the openfire.xml and which point as there are two refferences of <adminConsole>
Strange hop all users are still able to log on to spark no issue but we as admin can't log on the the console. If it was not for staff turn over I would be ok. lol
