Log on WITHOUT using plaintext password

Maybe you are interested in reading this (and maybe others) two threads in the ejabberd mailing list:

• Encrypted Passwords
• Ability to use any ldap account with no password

Hi.

You sad that You do authorization over LDAP!
Could You, please, send me *WORKING* configuration file.
Send it to goshgosh@ukrpost.net or in this forum.
I expirience some problems with LDAP. It should be my mistake in configuration. But where??? Hope you will help.

Here it is info about my system:

domain - testodrom.loc
domain controller - server2003 (e.g. server2003.testodrom.loc) based on Windows Server 2003
ejabberd (0.7.5) installed on domain controller
Erl5.4.4

By the way... Jive Messenger Server - works perfectly.

%override_acls.

% Users that have admin access. Add line like one of the following after you
% will be successfully registered on server to get admin access:
{acl, admin, {user, "Administrator"}}.
%{acl, admin, {user, "ermine"}}.

% Blocked users:
%{acl, blocked, {user, "test"}}.

% Local users:
{acl, local, {user_regexp, ""}}.

% Another examples of ACLs:
%{acl, jabberorg, {server, "jabber.org"}}.
%{acl, aleksey, {user, "aleksey", "jabber.ru"}}.
%{acl, test, {user_regexp, "^test"}}.
%{acl, test, {user_glob, "test*"}}.

% Only admins can use configuration interface:
{access, configure, [{allow, admin}]}.

% Every username can be registered via in-band registration:
{access, register, [{allow, all}]}.

% After successful registration user will get message with following subject
% and body:
{welcome_message,
{"Welcome!",
"Welcome to Jabber Service. "}}.
% Replace them with 'none' if you don't want to send such message:
%{welcome_message, none}.

% List of people who will get notifications about registered users
%{registration_watchers, ["admin1@localhost",
% "admin2@localhost"]}.

% Only admins can send announcement messages:
{access, announce, [{allow, admin}]}.

% Only non-blocked users can use c2s connections:
{access, c2s, [{deny, blocked},
{allow, all}]}.

% Set shaper with name "normal" to limit traffic speed to 1000B/s
{shaper, normal, {maxrate, 1000}}.

% Set shaper with name "fast" to limit traffic speed to 50000B/s
{shaper, fast, {maxrate, 50000}}.

% For all users except admins used "normal" shaper
{access, c2s_shaper, [{none, admin},
{normal, all}]}.

% For all S2S connections used "fast" shaper
{access, s2s_shaper, [{fast, all}]}.

% Admins of this server are also admins of MUC service:
{access, muc_admin, [{allow, admin}]}.

% All users are allowed to use MUC service:
{access, muc, [{allow, all}]}.

% This rule allows access only for local users:
{access, local, [{allow, local}]}.

% Authentification method. If you want to use internal user base, then use
% this line:
%{auth_method, internal}.

% For LDAP authentification use these lines instead of above one:
{auth_method, ldap}.
{ldap_servers, ["server2003"]}. % List of LDAP servers
{ldap_uidattr, "cn"}. % LDAP attribute that holds user ID
{ldap_base, "cn=users,dc=testodrom,dc=loc"}. % Base of LDAP directory

% For authentification via external script use the following:
%{auth_method, external}.
%{extauth_program, "/path/to/authentification/script"}.

% Host name:
{host, "testodrom.loc"}.

% Default language:
{language, "en"}.

% Listened ports:
{listen,
[
{5222, ejabberd_c2s, [{access, c2s},
{shaper, c2s_shaper}]},

% To create selfsigned certificate run the following command from the
% command prompt:
%
% openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -out ejabberd.pem -keyout ejabberd.pem
%
% and answer the questions.
% {5222, ejabberd_c2s, [{access, c2s},
% starttls, {certfile, "./ejabberd.pem"},
% {shaper, c2s_shaper}]},

% When using SSL/TLS ssl option is not recommended (it requires patching
% erlang ssl application). Use tls option instead (as shown below).
% {5223, ejabberd_c2s, [{access, c2s},
% tls, {certfile, "./ejabberd.pem"},
% {shaper, c2s_shaper}]},
