Support for GSSAPI authentication in version >=2.0.0

Submitted by amaramrahul on Mon, 2008-06-16 04:16

Hi,
I am planning to use the ejabberd server for a certain purpose and I need to have GSSAPI authentication enabled. While there was a patch for gssapi written for ejabberd version 1.1.2, I have observed that it no longer works for version >=2.0.0. Also I am suprised that ejabberd being such a mature project does not have GSSAPI authentication built into its core. Does anyone have a idea if there is a gssapi patch available for version >= 2.0.0 or when ejabberd is going to add GSSAPI authentication support in its core code? Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Rahul.

I've updated the patch for ejabberd 2.0.1 (probably applies to 2.0.0 too). I verified it applies cleanly and compiles. But I didn't test it works correctly.

Download: gssapi-ejabberd201.diff

If you try the patch, please report if it works correctly, or if it has some problem. If it works correctly I'll update the patch page.

I have tested the patch. There seems to be some problem with the gethostname function in ejabberd_net.erl or maybe in the parameters it is receiving because the patch works perfectly if I hardcode the fqdn as mentioned in http://www.ejabberd.im/node/3098#comment-53349.

GSSAPI Patch fixed and tested

I have made a few modifications to the patch and it now works fine (except for the sasl fqdn question at http://www.ejabberd.im/node/3098#comment-53676). Once that is resolved, I can submit the patch. How do I upload the file?
