I'm using as auth_method an external python script, which checks if the user exists in the database. Using the REST module with 'access_commands' doesn't work and only returns 'internal server error'. The user exists in the database.
Turning off the external auth script and using the internal method the REST module works with 'access_commands'.
jabberd.cfg:
{auth_method, external}.
{extauth_program, "/etc/ejabberd/check_mysql.py"}.
[...]
{acl, restuser, {user, "bot", "example.com"}}.
{access, restapi, [{allow, restuser}]}.
[...]
{modules, [
{mod_rest, [
{access_commands, [ {restapi, all, []} ]}
]}
]}.
Workaround
For a the people that searching for that problem, i've a small workaround.
First changing the auth method to external and fallback internal mode:
{auth_method, [external, internal]}.Remove the user "bot" from your external database and create the account locally via the 'ejabberdctl register' command
$ ejabberdctl register bot example.com secretNow you can use the 'access_commands' for the mod_rest to manage the acl stuff :-)
