ejabberd provides three ways

ejabberd provides three ways to create an account:

Anybody, using a jabber client and In-Band Registration (implemented in mod_register)
The admin, using Web Admin

The admin or a system script, calling:

$ ejabberdctl register bob localhost pass123

It seems none of those ways is up to you. You can modify mod_register to suit your needs. Or you could write a web application (in PHP or whatever) than calls ejabberdctl to create the account.

If you also want to set a different password using the command line, try the contributed module mod_ctlextra and its command set-password.

Another solution would be that you write a web app that calls ejabberd using XML-RPC. In this case you would need to install mod_xmlrpc.

And the last alternative I can think if is to modify the contributed module mod_register_web to suit your needs.
