iJab is a AJAX web chat client for XMPP that could be integrated into your website like Facebook style web chat bar. Go to www.ijab.im to have a look.

You could write a custome auth module to make iJab single-sign-on with your CMS website.

Extauth can be a first approximation

Extauth is the easiest solution to get your custom auth working. It seems the easiest because you can write the script in any programming language you prefer.

But if you later notice in your system that this isn't efficient/fast enought, you will want to write your own native ejabberd_auth_arnel.erl, similarly to other native ejabberd_auth_internal, _odbc, _ldap, ...

extauth crashes. performance?

We need to implement our own authentication and extauth seems to be the easiest solution. But if extauth degrades ejjabberd performance that much, we cannot use it.

Thanks for any help.

The quickest way to get ejabberd querying your specific database is to write a custom extauth script. It's described here:
http://svn.process-one.net/ejabberd/branches/ejabberd-2.1.x/doc/dev.html...

You can find several example exauth scripts, in different languages, here:
