It works. Thank you!

with password "pass" in ejabberd, using a Jabber client?

Yes with pidgin I can login this account to the server. Maybe my config is wrong. I have this :


{acl, admin, {user, "adminjabber", "192.168.67.123"}}.

{access, xmlrpcaccess, [{allow, admin}]}.
{listen,
 [

  {{4560, "127.0.0.1"}, ejabberd_xmlrpc, [
			 {maxsessions, 10},
			 {timeout, 5000},
			 {access_commands, [{xmlrpcaccess, all, []}]}
			]},
...


{auth_method, external}.
{extauth_program, "/usr/bin/php /usr/local/bin/JabberAuth_Ldap.php"}.

Empty struct now optional. Verify your auth info

Yes, I've modified the source code in SVN. Now that empty struct is optional.

You must provide auth information of a local Jabber account.
Can you login to the Jabber account adminjabber@192.168.67.123
with password "pass" in ejabberd, using a Jabber client?

Example:
(ejabberd@localhost)7>
xmlrpc:call({127, 0, 0, 1}, 4560, "/", {call, stats, [
{struct, [{user, "badlop"}, {server, "localhost"}, {password, "mypass123"}]},
{struct, [{name, "onlineusers"}]}]}).
{ok,{response,[{struct,[{stat,1}]}]}}

BTW, I've added example PHP code in README.txt on how to provide that auth information.

empty struct?

Can we avoid using the empty structure?
Because I don't know how to create it in my php client. (I tried array(), array(null), array("")... nothing worked)

An other problem is I can make the authentication work.
I'm running ejabberd 2.1.4 (from bin installer).
Compiled ejabberd_xmlrpc (puts the beams ine ejabberd/lib/ejabberd-xxx).
Compiled xmerl from R12B-5 (puts the beams in ejabberd/lib/kernel-xxx)
When I run every command I get a -118 error.
Ex:

 17> xmlrpc:call({127, 0, 0, 1}, 4560, "/", {call, stats, [{struct, [{user, "adminjabber"}, {server, "192.168.67.123"}, {password, "pass"}]},{struct, [{name, "onlineusers"}]}]}).
{ok,{response,{fault,-118,
                     "Error -118\nA problem '{error,invalid_account_data}' occurred executing the command stats with arguments\n[{name,\"onlineusers\"}]"}}}

Did I something wrong?

Thx
Vincent

The problem with the first

mfoss — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 13:01:37 +0000

The problem with the first call is that ejabberd_xmlrpc expects a struct, even when there are no command arguments to provide:

xmlrpc:call({127, 0, 0, 1}, 4560, "/", {call, connected_users, [{struct, []}]}).

{ok,{response,
        [{struct,
             [{connected_users,
                  {array,
                      [{struct,[{sessions,"testuser@localhost/work"}]}]}}]}]}}

The problem with the second call is that you are calling a command that doesn't exist. Maybe it existed in an old version of the module.

Try this one instead:

xmlrpc:call({127, 0, 0, 1}, 4560, "/", {call, register, [{struct, [{user, "ggeo"},
  {host, "localhost"}, {password, "gogo11"}]}]}).

{ok,{response,[{struct,[{res,0},
                        {text,"User ggeo@localhost successfully registered"}]}]}}

You can get information about the available commands by calling in your shell:

$ ejabberdctl help register*
