User's Database

Submitted by Flip on Sat, 2006-09-23 11:21

I would like to use ejabberd with my website.
I allready have all the user's registed on a database with there username and there password in md5 encryption.

Is there anyway of making ejabberd use that database for the user's?

Also, Can I disable the register via ejabberd / jabber client's so they have to register via the website?

See the second example in the mod_register section.

Use extauth

There are several authentication methods on ejabberd. If none of them is good for you, you can use the option 'extauth', and write your custom program. Examples of Authentication Scripts.

If you finally write such a program, please consider publishing it, and I'll upload it to that page.

If you use extauth authentication, ejabberd can't create new users, so you also must disable mod_register on ejabberd.cfg.
