PyMsn Running But Some Q's and Issues

Submitted by alinux on Wed, 2008-02-20 13:36

Hi ALL

I got ejabberd running and added msn functionality through PyMSN. I have around 50 users and each time one them registers his msn account with ejabberd, he is being asked for confirmation of all accounts being added..that is around 300 contacts per user, and taking into consideration that those users are already accepted msn contacts this is very annoying to the users.

Anything I can do about this ?

Thanks alot.

Use a client with auto-auth feature

Yes, it is annoying, but ejabberd is a Jabber/XMPP server, and XMPP-IM requires ejabberd to act as it does.

A workaround is to register in the transport using a Jabber client that automatically accepts all the authorization requests without asking the user. I found some of them but I didn't try myself:

  • Coccinella handles all automatically, check the video: Add AIM Contact
  • In Psi 0.11 you can enable an option: Options -- Events -- Auto-authorize contacts
  • In Gajim 0.11.4 you can enable an option: Edit -- Preferences -- Advanced -- Open advanced configuration editor -- alwaysauth

Note that the specific client is only required when registering in the transport. Once the registration is finished, they can go back and continue using their prefered Jabber client.
