So you want to define your unique directory schema and make ejabberd to understand how to modify data in it. It's theoretically possible if you are brave enough to rewrite ejabberd's LDAP support from scratch, but as it's not consistent with the very intent of the technology it's hard to expect the authors to make such modifications. There are other options to create dedicated storage for ejabberd user DB.<br /> You could try to find some other way to add users to LDAP: I don't know if it's possible, but if I had such a problem, I would check if I can add some stub authentication DB that wouldn't contain any data, but instead write into it would invoke some external script that would make actual writing into LDAP. (So my configuration would contain two authentication sources: one for LDAP, and another fake).</p> Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:03:46 +0000 mikekaganski comment 54876 at https://www.ejabberd.im https://www.ejabberd.im/node/3743#comment-54875 <p>No, it's not possible.</p> Thu, 12 Nov 2009 06:18:46 +0000 zinid comment 54875 at https://www.ejabberd.im https://www.ejabberd.im/node/3743#comment-54874 <p>But i want ejabberd to treat LDAP as read write too by adding some logic.Is it posss?</p> Thu, 12 Nov 2009 04:30:33 +0000 harsh comment 54874 at https://www.ejabberd.im https://www.ejabberd.im/node/3743#comment-54865 <p><noindex><a href="http://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/guide_en" rel="nofollow" >ejabberd 2.0.5 Installation and Operation Guide</a></noindex><br /> "3.2.5 LDAP":</p> <blockquote><p>Note that ejabberd treats LDAP as a read-only storage: it is possible to consult data, but not possible to create accounts, change password or edit vCard that is stored in LDAP.</p></blockquote> Wed, 11 Nov 2009 03:37:11 +0000 mikekaganski comment 54865 at https://www.ejabberd.im
