Hi all,
I have been struggling with GAIM and EJABBERD in order to create Chat Rooms
Now I'm able to create persistent rooms but I would like to create restricted
rooms (protected by password)
When I configure rooms I can specify:
- Make room password protected ....... YES
- Password............................ my_password
but when a user try to connect to that room I get "error 401: user not authorized"
or "error 407: registration request"
Do you have any suggestion?
Best Wishes
Giuseppe
If you configure the
If you configure the chatroom to be password protected and a user tries to connect and does not specify the correct password, then he will get an error 401. Your user needs a MUC capable client to provide a password when joining the chatroom.
If you configure the chatroom member-only and a user tries to join, if he is not member of the chatroom then he will get an error 407. You need to give membership to the user before he tries to join. You will need a MUC capable client to give and revoke membership.
IS GAIM A MUC CAPABLE CLIENT? I THOUGHT SO

In a MUC compliant Jabber client you should be able to do things like:
when the chatroom is member-only I get 407 error, but I don't know how to give or revoke membership

I guess GAIM only supports the old (but compatible) conference protocol. This protocol has a very restricted set of functionality. Try another client such asone of the first two clients on this page .
gaim supports muc
gaim supports muc just fine, it does not however support all of the owner/admin functionality yet (it is being worked on).
What version of gaim?
Older versions of gaim had a bug in that they were looking for the password stanza on room invitations in the wrong place (mu-conference gets it wrong and gaim was tested against that). That has since been fixed, but that bug should have had no effect on joining a room in the first place. If you go to the Buddies menu and hit Join a Room there should be a box for a password in it.
gaim does not as of yet have any gui methods to do advanced room owner/admin features. There are some limited /commands (/help in the room will list them) in gaim 1.5.0, the betas have a few more.
