Hello,
I got around the anon conf. creation issue:
By going to server settings -> registration & log in and disabling anonymous log in.
Then going to Jitsi VideoBridge and creating a security UID and Password.
Appears to take care of the anon user being able to open a conference.
I am really enjoying setting up OpenFire, Spark and Jitsi. Thanks to all who have devotedly helped create and have contributed to this magnum opus.
