1. Is it possible to have internal authentication and LDAP authentication at the same time. My initial attempts failed to get htis to work.

When only one method is specified the syntax is:

{auth_method, internal}.

The ejabberd guide shows a different syntax on 3.1.8 SASL anonymous and anonymous login:

{auth_method, [anonymous, internal]}.

Call me optimistic, but with some luck maybe this works:

{auth_method, [internal, ldap]}.

If you try it, please post a comment with the results.

Turns out I had another jabber server (jabberd2) running that was also using LDAP, and that was what was causing the confusion. DOH! But thanks for adding to my knowledge of the config file.

This is likely due to the fact that ejabberd stores its config settings in an internal database, and changes you make to the config file are only added. That is, when you first run ejabberd, it takes the config file information in ejabberd.cfg and populates a database with the information. If you later change the config file by adding new information, the new information is added but the old is not really removed.

What you likely want to do is add the following lines to the top of your config file:

override_global.
override_local.
override_acls.

This will effectively override what's in the config database and use the data from the config file only. See the following for details:
