I'm trying to understand some of the information displayed within the Statistics page of the web admin interface. I want to know what the difference is between "Authentificated users" and "Online users". On my systems, they always show the same value. How do you get "Authentificated" and not be online?
By the way, Authentificated is not a real word. I believe the word should be Authenticated. Authentification is not a valid word. Don't you just love the English language??
Thanks!
do not authenticate on ejabberd
Yes, it looks strange, so let's look at the code. On ejabberd_web_admin:get_stats/1 you can see that AuthUsers is the number of elements in the 'session' table and OnlineUsers is the number of elements in the 'presence' table.
So the question remains: Is it possible to start a session but not having presence, or the inverse? I guess that using ejabberd to authenticate, but discarding the 'presence' part of XMPP. Or authenticating against external sources (LDAP...).
Well, it's not required. In fact, most if not all the developers and contributors to this project are non-native english speakers. I guess that when people read, write and speak in three different languages everyday, starts to construct new words :P
Errors on the documentation, to this forum. Errors on ejabberd, directly to Bugzilla. Thanks, I'll report this one. Your help is welcome!
