I have an ICloud account and a Work based Jabber account and I can not use my ICloud account for IMessage unless I am also signed into my VPN and Jabber account for Work.
How can I get my ICloud account to work without also having to log into my work jabber account?
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
Hi,
I can see that Apple (or any large Internet service) might prevent logins from two IPs (your Home IP and the place the VPN goes to).
However I would have thought you are logging out fully at the VPN location (presuming this is also related to your place of work) then the Home Login would re-establish this as the "first" login and the VPN one would be rejected.
I don't use VPNs and don't know if the Firewall on the Mac is used with them.
This might leave the situation where the Firewall is blocking the Messages app locally but the VPN is allowed.
You imply the iCloud ID is separate from the WORK Jabber ID.
Can you confirm the Apple ID that is used for the iCloud ID is unrelated ?

well, I thought it helped.... I went into my firewall settings and saw that IMessage showed not to allow incoming connection so I changed it to allow.... unfortunately this did not resolve my problem :-(
Hi,
Is the computer at the other end of the VPN actually signing out of Apple/iMessages ? (before you get home and have do this dance with the VPN)
