I'd say really the first step is to just get the thing running first,  
you can worry about disabling user self-registration and otherwise  
locking it down after you get basic functionality up.  If your Jabber  
client can't handle user self-registration, try this perl script to  
generate accounts on the server:

http://scriptrepo.jabberstudio.org/ds_jabberadduser/

If it doesn't exist already, you will want to create a /var/lib/ 
jabber/yourserver directory, owner: jabber group:  adm , with 660  
permissions.

Monitor /var/log/jabber/error.log to start honing in on what  
configuration steps you need to take that you haven't yet.

Cheers,
