Andrea, thank you very much for this fantastic howto!
This is outright the BEST tutorial to get started with a simple jitsi server.
Still, I do have two suggestions:
First, please add the modules that are enabled on the "main" VirtualHost to the "guest" VirtualHost as well. Otherwise, people could later unnecessarily run into the same problems as I did, when they try to enhance their server with TURN functionality - see this thread. And even if this functionality is not required, I don't see any downside to enabling the modules on the guest VServer (they're already enabled on the default VServer as well, anyway).
Second, since we are talking about authentication: By default, jitsi will automatically remember (or rather, accept client-side remembered) user credentials. To disable this behavior,
About the modules, good point! I will add them to the the sample config.
For the autologin, I consider it more like tuning then a simple installation and I prefer not to get too much into details but to keep it simple and straightforward
Thanks :)

echo "org.jitsi.jicofo.auth.DISABLE_AUTOLOGIN=true" >> /etc/jitsi/jicofo/sip-communicator.propertiesThis may or may not be what people want, but I think it's worth mentioning somewhere in the instructions.
