< UL CLASS = "itemize" > < LI CLASS = "li-itemize" >
Cross-platform: < TT > ejabberd< / TT > runs under Microsoft Windows and Unix derived systems such as Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD.< BR >
< BR >
< LI CLASS = "li-itemize" > Distributed: You can run < TT > ejabberd< / TT > on a cluster of machines and all of them will serve the same Jabber domain(s). When you need more capacity you can simply add a new cheap node to your cluster. Accordingly, you do not need to buy an expensive high-end machine to support tens of thousands concurrent users.< BR >
< BR >
< LI CLASS = "li-itemize" > Fault-tolerant: You can deploy an < TT > ejabberd< / TT > cluster so that all the information required for a properly working service will be replicated permanently on all nodes. This means that if one of the nodes crashes, the others will continue working without disruption. In addition, nodes also can be added or replaced `on the fly'.< BR >
< BR >
< LI CLASS = "li-itemize" > Administrator Friendly: < TT > ejabberd< / TT > is built on top of the Open Source Erlang. As a result you do not need to install an external database, an external web server, amongst others because everything is already included, and ready to run out of the box. Other administrator benefits include:

Probably the easiest way to install an < TT > ejabberd< / TT > instant messaging server
2008-01-15 18:53:40 +01:00
is using the binary installer published by Process-one.
The binary installers of released < TT > ejabberd< / TT > versions
are available in the Process-one < TT > ejabberd< / TT > downloads page:
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
< A HREF = "http://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/downloads" > < TT > http://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/downloads< / TT > < / A > < BR >
< BR >
The installer will deploy and configure a full featured < TT > ejabberd< / TT >
server and does not require any extra dependencies.< BR >
< BR >
In *nix systems, remember to set executable the binary installer before starting it. For example:
< PRE CLASS = "verbatim" >
chmod +x ejabberd-2.0.0_1-linux-x86-installer.bin
2008-01-15 18:53:40 +01:00
./ejabberd-2.0.0_1-linux-x86-installer.bin
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
< / PRE >
< TT > ejabberd< / TT > can be started manually at any time,
or automatically by the operating system at system boot time.< BR >
< BR >
To start and stop < TT > ejabberd< / TT > manually,
2008-03-20 20:24:27 +01:00
use the desktop shortcuts created by the installer.
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
If the machine doesn't have a graphical system, use the scripts 'start'
and 'stop' in the 'bin' directory where < TT > ejabberd< / TT > is installed.< BR >
< BR >
The Windows installer also adds ejabberd as a system service,
2008-01-15 18:53:40 +01:00
and a shortcut to a debug console for experienced administrators.
If you want ejabberd to be started automatically at boot time,
2008-03-20 20:24:27 +01:00
go to the Windows service settings and set ejabberd to be automatically started.
Note that the Windows service is a feature still in development,
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
and for example it doesn't read the file ejabberdctl.cfg.< BR >
< BR >
On a *nix system, if you want ejabberd to be started as daemon at boot time,
copy < TT > ejabberd.init< / TT > from the 'bin' directory to something like < TT > /etc/init.d/ejabberd< / TT >
(depending on your distribution) and call < TT > /etc/inid.d/ejabberd start< / TT > to start it.< BR >
< BR >
The < TT > ejabberdctl< / TT > administration script is included in the < TT > bin< / TT > directory.
Please refer to the section < A HREF = "#ejabberdctl" > 4.1< / A > for details about < TT > ejabberdctl< / TT > ,
and configurable options to fine tune the Erlang runtime system.< BR >

< H2 CLASS = "section" > < A NAME = "htoc6" > 2.2< / A > Installing < TT > ejabberd< / TT > with Operating System specific packages< / H2 > <!-- SEC END -->
Some Operating Systems provide a specific < TT > ejabberd< / TT > package adapted to
2008-01-15 18:53:40 +01:00
the system architecture and libraries.
It usually also checks dependencies
2007-08-01 20:09:00 +02:00
and performs basic configuration tasks like creating the initial
administrator account. Some examples are Debian and Gentoo. Consult the
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
resources provided by your Operating System for more information.< BR >
< BR >
Usually those packages create a script like < TT > /etc/init.d/ejabberd< / TT >
to start and stop < TT > ejabberd< / TT > as a service at boot time.< BR >

(Comprehensive Erlang Archive Network) is a repository that hosts binary
2008-01-15 18:53:40 +01:00
packages from many Erlang programs, including < TT > ejabberd< / TT > and all its dependencies.
2007-08-01 20:09:00 +02:00
The binaries are available for many different system architectures, so this is an
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
alternative to the binary installer and Operating System's < TT > ejabberd< / TT > packages.< BR >

The default < TT > ejabberdctl< / TT > script is located

To upgrade an ejabberd installation to a new version,
2008-01-15 18:53:40 +01:00
simply uninstall the old version, and then install the new one.
Of course, it is important that the configuration file
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
and Mnesia database spool directory are not removed.< BR >
< BR >
< TT > ejabberd< / TT > automatically updates the Mnesia table definitions at startup when needed.
2008-01-15 18:53:40 +01:00
If you also use an external database for storage of some modules,
check if the release notes of the new ejabberd version
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
indicates you need to also update those tables.< BR >

2008-01-15 18:53:40 +01:00
If you want those changes to be use after < TT > ejabberd< / TT > restart, you can either
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
edit the configuration file, or remove all its content.< BR >
< BR >
The configuration file contains a sequence of Erlang terms. Lines beginning with a
< TT > `%'< / TT > sign are ignored. Each term is a tuple of which the first element is
the name of an option, and any further elements are that option's values. If the
configuration file do not contain for instance the `hosts' option, the old

To define specific ejabberd modules in a virtual host,
2008-03-04 11:36:57 +01:00
you can define the global < TT > modules< / TT > option with the common modules,
and later add specific modules to certain virtual hosts.
To accomplish that, instead of defining each option in < TT > host_config< / TT > with the syntax
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
< PRE CLASS = "verbatim" >
{< option-name> , < option-value> }
< / PRE > use this syntax:
< PRE CLASS = "verbatim" >
{{add, < option-name> }, < option-value> }

In this example three virtual hosts have some similar modules, but there are also
2008-03-04 11:36:57 +01:00
other different modules for some specific virtual hosts:

< DL CLASS = "description" COMPACT = compact > < DT CLASS = "dt-description" >
< B > < TT > {access, < access rule> }< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" > This option defines
access to the port. The default value is < TT > all< / TT > .
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > {certfile, Path}< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" > Full path to a file containing the default SSL certificate.

< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > component_check_from< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" >
This option can be used with < TT > ejabberd_service< / TT > only. It is
used to disable control on the from field on packets send by an
external components. The option can be either < TT > true< / TT > or
< TT > false< / TT > . The default value is < TT > true< / TT > which conforms to < A HREF = "http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0114.html" > XEP-0114< / A > .
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > {hosts, [Hostnames], [HostOptions]}< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" > This option
defines one or more hostnames of connected services and enables you to
specify additional options including < TT > {password, Secret}< / TT > .
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > http_bind< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" >
This option enables HTTP Binding (< A HREF = "http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0124.html" > XEP-0124< / A > and < A HREF = "http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0206.html" > XEP-0206< / A > ) support. HTTP Bind
enables access via HTTP requests to < TT > ejabberd< / TT > from behind firewalls which
do not allow outgoing sockets on port 5222.< BR >
< BR >
Remember that you must also install and enable the module mod_http_bind.< BR >
< BR >
If HTTP Bind is enabled, it will be available at
< CODE > http://server:port/http-bind/< / CODE > . Be aware that support for HTTP Bind
is also needed in the Jabber client. Remark also that HTTP Bind can be
interesting to host a web-based Jabber client such as
< A HREF = "http://jwchat.sourceforge.net/" > JWChat< / A > (there is a tutorial to
< A HREF = "http://www.ejabberd.im/jwchat" > install JWChat< / A > with
instructions for < TT > ejabberd< / TT > ).
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > http_poll< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" >
This option enables HTTP Polling (< A HREF = "http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0025.html" > XEP-0025< / A > ) support. HTTP Polling
enables access via HTTP requests to < TT > ejabberd< / TT > from behind firewalls which
do not allow outgoing sockets on port 5222.< BR >
< BR >
If HTTP Polling is enabled, it will be available at
< CODE > http://server:port/http-poll/< / CODE > . Be aware that support for HTTP Polling
is also needed in the Jabber client. Remark also that HTTP Polling can be
interesting to host a web-based Jabber client such as

< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > inet6< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" > Set up the socket for IPv6.
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > {ip, IPAddress}< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" > This option specifies which network
interface to listen for. For example < CODE > {ip, {192, 168, 1, 1}}< / CODE > .
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > {max_stanza_size, Size}< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" >
This option specifies an
approximate maximum size in bytes of XML stanzas. Approximate,
because it is calculated with the precision of one block of readed
data. For example < CODE > {max_stanza_size, 65536}< / CODE > . The default
value is < TT > infinity< / TT > . Recommended values are 65536 for c2s
connections and 131072 for s2s connections. s2s max stanza size
must always much higher than c2s limit. Change this value with
extreme care as it can cause unwanted disconnect if set too low.
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > {request_handlers, [{Path, Module}]}< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" > To define one or several handlers that will serve HTTP requests.
The Path is a list of strings; so the URIs that start with that Path will be served by Module.
For example, if you want < TT > mod_foo< / TT > to serve the URIs that start with < TT > /a/b/< / TT > ,
and you also want < TT > mod_http_bind< / TT > to serve the URIs < TT > /http-bind/< / TT > ,
use this option: < TT > {request_handlers, [{["a", "b"], mod_foo}, {["http-bind"], mod_http_bind}]}< / TT >
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > {service_check_from, true|false}< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" >
By enabling this option, < TT > ejabberd< / TT > allows the component to send packets with any arbitrary domain in the 'from' attribute.
Note that < A HREF = "http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0114.html" > XEP-0114< / A > requires that the domain must match the hostname of the component.
Only enable this option if you are completely sure you need to enable it.
Default value: false.
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > {shaper, < access rule> }< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" > This option defines a
shaper for the port (see section < A HREF = "#shapers" > 3.1.6< / A > ). The default value
is < TT > none< / TT > .
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > starttls< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" > This option
specifies that STARTTLS encryption is available on connections to the port.
You should also set the < TT > certfile< / TT > option.
You can define a certificate file for a specific domain using the global option < TT > domain_certfile< / TT > .
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > starttls_required< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" > This option
specifies that STARTTLS encryption is required on connections to the port.
No unencrypted connections will be allowed.
You should also set the < TT > certfile< / TT > option.
You can define a certificate file for a specific domain using the global option < TT > domain_certfile< / TT > .
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > tls< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" > This option specifies that traffic on
the port will be encrypted using SSL immediately after connecting. You
should also set the < TT > certfile< / TT > option.
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > web_admin< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" > This option
enables the Web Admin for < TT > ejabberd< / TT > administration which is available
at < CODE > http://server:port/admin/< / CODE > . Login and password are the username and
password of one of the registered users who are granted access by the
`configure' access rule.
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > zlib< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" > This
option specifies that Zlib stream compression (as defined in < A HREF = "http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0138.html" > XEP-0138< / A > )
is available on connections to the port. Client connections cannot use
stream compression and stream encryption simultaneously. Hence, if you
specify both < TT > tls< / TT > (or < TT > ssl< / TT > ) and < TT > zlib< / TT > , the latter
option will not affect connections (there will be no stream compression).
< / DL >
There are some additional global options:
< DL CLASS = "description" COMPACT = compact > < DT CLASS = "dt-description" >
< B > < TT > {s2s_use_starttls, true|false}< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" >
This option defines whether to
use STARTTLS for s2s connections.
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > {s2s_certfile, Path}< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" > Full path to a
file containing a SSL certificate.
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > {domain_certfile, Domain, Path}< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" >
Full path to the file containing the SSL certificate for a specific domain.
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > {s2s_default_policy, allow|deny}< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" >
The default policy for incoming and outgoing s2s connections to other Jabber servers.
The default value is < TT > allow< / TT > .
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > {{s2s_host, Host}, allow|deny}< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" >
Defines if incoming and outgoing s2s connections with a specific remote host are allowed or denied.
This allows to restrict ejabberd to only stablish s2s connections
with a small list of trusted servers, or to block some specific servers.

For example, the following simple configuration defines:
< UL CLASS = "itemize" > < LI CLASS = "li-itemize" >

There are three domains. The default certificate file is < TT > server.pem< / TT > .
However, the c2s and s2s connections to the domain < TT > example.com< / TT > use the file < TT > example_com.pem< / TT > .

< TT > ejabberd< / TT > supports authentication via Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM).
2007-12-01 17:43:04 +01:00
PAM is currently supported in AIX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, Linux, Mac OS X, NetBSD and Solaris.
PAM authentication is disabled by default, so you have to configure and compile
< TT > ejabberd< / TT > with PAM support enabled:
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
< PRE CLASS = "verbatim" >
./configure --enable-pam & & make install
< / PRE >
Options:
< DL CLASS = "description" COMPACT = compact > < DT CLASS = "dt-description" >
< B > < TT > pam_service< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" > This option defines the PAM service name.
2007-12-01 17:43:04 +01:00
Default is < TT > "ejabberd"< / TT > . Refer to the PAM documentation of your operation system
for more information.
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
< / DL >
Example:
< PRE CLASS = "verbatim" >
{auth_method, [pam]}.
2007-12-01 17:43:04 +01:00
{pam_service, "ejabberd"}.
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
< / PRE >
Though it is quite easy to set up PAM support in < TT > ejabberd< / TT > , PAM itself introduces some
security issues:
< UL CLASS = "itemize" > < LI CLASS = "li-itemize" >
2007-12-01 17:43:04 +01:00
To perform PAM authentication < TT > ejabberd< / TT > uses external C-program called
< TT > epam< / TT > . By default, it is located in < CODE > /var/lib/ejabberd/priv/lib/< / CODE >
directory. You have to set it root on execution in the case when your PAM module
requires root privileges (< TT > pam_unix.so< / TT > for example). Also you have to grant access
for < TT > ejabberd< / TT > to this file and remove all other permissions from it:
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
< PRE CLASS = "verbatim" >
# chown root:ejabberd /var/lib/ejabberd/priv/bin/epam
2008-03-27 01:28:44 +01:00
# chmod 4750 /var/lib/ejabberd/priv/bin/epam
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
< / PRE > < LI CLASS = "li-itemize" > Make sure you have the latest version of PAM installed on your system.
2007-12-01 17:43:04 +01:00
Some old versions of PAM modules cause memory leaks. If you are not able to use the latest
version, you can < TT > kill(1)< / TT > < TT > epam< / TT > process periodically to reduce its memory
consumption: < TT > ejabberd< / TT > will restart this process immediately.
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
< LI CLASS = "li-itemize" > < TT > epam< / TT > program tries to turn off delays on authentication failures.
2007-12-01 17:43:04 +01:00
However, some PAM modules ignore this behavior and rely on their own configuration options.
The example configuration file < TT > ejabberd.pam< / TT > shows how to turn off delays in
< TT > pam_unix.so< / TT > module. It is not a ready to use configuration file: you must use it
as a hint when building your own PAM configuration instead. Note that if you want to disable
delays on authentication failures in the PAM configuration file, you have to restrict access
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
to this file, so a malicious user can't use your configuration to perform brute-force
2007-12-01 17:43:04 +01:00
attacks.
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
< LI CLASS = "li-itemize" > You may want to allow login access only for certain users. < TT > pam_listfile.so< / TT >
2007-12-01 17:43:04 +01:00
module provides such functionality.

< / DL >
This is a basic example:
< PRE CLASS = "verbatim" >

< / PRE >
In this example, the included file is not allowed to contain a < TT > listen< / TT > option.
2008-04-02 18:31:15 +02:00

In the < TT > ejabberd< / TT > configuration file,
2008-04-02 18:31:15 +02:00
it is possible to define a macro for a value
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
and later use this macro when defining an option.< BR >
< BR >
A macro is defined with this syntax:
< PRE CLASS = "verbatim" >
{define_macro, '< MACRO> ', < value> }.
< / PRE > The < TT > MACRO< / TT > must be surrounded by commas, and all in uppercase.
The < TT > value< / TT > can be any valid arbitrary Erlang term.< BR >
< BR >
The first definition of a macro is preserved,
and additional definitions of the same macro are forgotten.< BR >
< BR >
Macros are processed after
2008-04-02 18:31:15 +02:00
additional configuration files have been included,
so it is possible to use macros that
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
are defined in configuration files included before the usage.< BR >
< BR >
It isn't possible to use a macro in the definition
of another macro.< BR >
< BR >
There are two ways to use a macro:
< DL CLASS = "description" COMPACT = compact > < DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > '< MACRO> '< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" >
You can put this instead of a value in an < TT > ejabberd< / TT > option,
and will be replaced with the < TT > value< / TT > previously defined.
If the macro is not defined previously,
the program will crash and report an error.< BR >
< BR >
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > {use_macro, '< MACRO> ', < defaultvalue> }< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" >
Use a macro even if it may not be defined.
If the macro is not defined previously,
the provided < TT > defaultvalue< / TT > is used.
This usage behaves as if it were defined and used this way:
< PRE CLASS = "verbatim" >
{define_macro, '< MACRO> ', < defaultvalue> }.
2008-04-02 18:31:15 +02:00
'< MACRO> '
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
< / PRE > < / DL >
This example shows the basic usage of a macro:
< PRE CLASS = "verbatim" >
{define_macro, 'LOG_LEVEL_NUMBER', 5}.
2008-04-02 18:31:15 +02:00
{loglevel, 'LOG_LEVEL_NUMBER'}.
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
< / PRE > The resulting option interpreted by < TT > ejabberd< / TT > is: < TT > {loglevel, 5}< / TT > .< BR >
< BR >
This example shows that values can be any arbitrary Erlang term:
< PRE CLASS = "verbatim" >
{define_macro, 'USERBOB', {user, "bob", "localhost"}}.
2008-04-02 18:31:15 +02:00
{acl, admin, 'USERBOB'}.
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
< / PRE > The resulting option interpreted by < TT > ejabberd< / TT > is: < TT > {acl, admin, {user, "bob", "localhost"}}< / TT > .< BR >
< BR >
This complex example:
< PRE CLASS = "verbatim" >
{define_macro, 'NUMBER_PORT_C2S', 5222}.
2008-04-02 18:31:15 +02:00
{define_macro, 'PORT_S2S_IN', {5269, ejabberd_s2s_in, []}}.
{listen,
[
{'NUMBER_PORT_C2S', ejabberd_c2s, []},
'PORT_S2S_IN',
{{use_macro, 'NUMBER_PORT_HTTP', 5280}, ejabberd_http, []}
]
}.
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
< / PRE > produces this result after being interpreted:
< PRE CLASS = "verbatim" >
{listen,
2008-04-02 18:31:15 +02:00
[
{5222, ejabberd_c2s, []},

Let's say < TT > ldap.example.org< / TT > is the name of our LDAP server. We have
2006-09-22 11:09:28 +02:00
users with their passwords in < TT > "ou=Users,dc=example,dc=org"< / TT > directory.
Also we have addressbook, which contains users emails and their additional
infos in < TT > "ou=AddressBook,dc=example,dc=org"< / TT > directory. Corresponding
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
authentication section should looks like this:
< PRE CLASS = "verbatim" >
%% authentication method
2006-09-22 11:09:28 +02:00
{auth_method, ldap}.
%% DNS name of our LDAP server
{ldap_servers, ["ldap.example.org"]}.
%% Bind to LDAP server as "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=org" with password "secret"
{ldap_rootdn, "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=org"}.
{ldap_password, "secret"}.
%% define the user's base
{ldap_base, "ou=Users,dc=example,dc=org"}.
%% We want to authorize users from 'shadowAccount' object class only
{ldap_filter, "(objectClass=shadowAccount)"}.
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
< / PRE >
Now we want to use users LDAP-info as their vCards. We have four attributes
defined in our LDAP schema: < TT > "mail"< / TT > — email address, < TT > "givenName"< / TT >
— first name, < TT > "sn"< / TT > — second name, < TT > "birthDay"< / TT > — birthday.
Also we want users to search each other. Let's see how we can set it up:
< PRE CLASS = "verbatim" >
{modules,
2006-09-22 11:09:28 +02:00

{mod_vcard_ldap,

%% define the addressbook's base
{ldap_base, "ou=AddressBook,dc=example,dc=org"},

%% uidattr: user's part of JID is located in the "mail" attribute
%% uidattr_format: common format for our emails
{ldap_uids, [{"mail", "%u@mail.example.org"}]},
2006-09-22 11:09:28 +02:00
%% We have to define empty filter here, because entries in addressbook does not
%% belong to shadowAccount object class
{ldap_filter, ""},
%% Now we want to define vCard pattern
{ldap_vcard_map,
[{"NICKNAME", "%u", []}, % just use user's part of JID as his nickname
{"GIVEN", "%s", ["givenName"]},
{"FAMILY", "%s", ["sn"]},

%% Search form
{ldap_search_fields,
[{"User", "%u"},

%% vCard fields to be reported
%% Note that JID is always returned with search results
{ldap_search_reported,

You can see which database backend each module needs by looking at the suffix:
< UL CLASS = "itemize" > < LI CLASS = "li-itemize" >
No suffix, this means that the modules uses Erlang's built-in database
Mnesia as backend.
< LI CLASS = "li-itemize" > `_odbc', this means that the module needs a supported database
(see < A HREF = "#database" > 3.2< / A > ) as backend.
< LI CLASS = "li-itemize" > `_ldap', this means that the module needs an LDAP server as backend.
< / UL >
If you want to,
2007-12-06 20:47:49 +01:00
it is possible to use a relational database to store pieces of
2006-09-22 11:09:28 +02:00
information. You can do this by changing the module name to a name with an
< TT > _odbc< / TT > suffix in < TT > ejabberd< / TT > config file. You can use a relational
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
database for the following data:
< UL CLASS = "itemize" > < LI CLASS = "li-itemize" >
2006-09-22 11:09:28 +02:00
Last connection date and time: Use < TT > mod_last_odbc< / TT > instead of

< TT > mod_last< / TT > .

< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > one_queue< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" > In this case a separate queue is created for the processing
of IQ queries of a namespace with this discipline. In addition, the processing

< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > {queues, N}< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" > : N separate queues are created to process the
queries. The queries are thus process in parallel, but in a
controlled way.
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > parallel< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" > For every packet with this discipline a separate Erlang process
is spawned. Consequently, all these packets are processed in parallel.
Although spawning of Erlang process has a relatively low cost, this can break
the server's normal work, because the Erlang emulator has a limit on the
number of processes (32000 by default).

2005-11-28 11:55:45 +01:00
Sending private messages to room participants.
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
< LI CLASS = "li-itemize" > Inviting users.
< LI CLASS = "li-itemize" > Setting a conference topic.
< LI CLASS = "li-itemize" > Creating password protected rooms.
< LI CLASS = "li-itemize" > Kicking and banning participants.
< / UL >
The MUC service allows any Jabber ID to register a nickname,
2007-12-01 17:43:04 +01:00
so nobody else can use that nickname in any room in the MUC service.
To register a nickname, open the Service Discovery in your
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
Jabber client and Register in the MUC service.< BR >
< BR >
The MUC service allows the service administrator to send a message
2007-12-01 17:43:04 +01:00
to all existing chatrooms.
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
To do so, send the message to the Jabber ID of the MUC service.< BR >
< BR >
This module supports clustering and load
2007-12-01 17:43:04 +01:00
balancing. One module can be started per cluster node. Rooms are
distributed at creation time on all available MUC module
instances. The multi-user chat module is clustered but the room
themselves are not clustered nor fault-tolerant: if the node managing a
set of rooms goes down, the rooms disappear and they will be recreated
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
on an available node on first connection attempt.< BR >

< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > access_admin< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" > This option specifies
who is allowed to administrate the Multi-User Chat service (the default
value is < TT > none< / TT > , which means that only the room creator can
administer his room). By sending a message to the service JID,
administrators can send service messages that will be displayed in every
active room.< BR >
< BR >
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > history_size< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" > A small history of
the current discussion is sent to users when they enter the
room. With this option you can define the number of history messages
to keep and send to users joining the room. The value is an
integer. Setting the value to < TT > 0< / TT > disables the history feature
and, as a result, nothing is kept in memory. The default value is
< TT > 20< / TT > . This value is global and thus affects all rooms on the
server.< BR >
< BR >
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > max_users< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" > This option defines at
the server level, the maximum number of users allowed per MUC

200.< BR >
< BR >
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > max_users_admin_threshold< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" >
This option defines the
number of MUC admins or owners to allow to enter the room even if
the maximum number of allowed users is reached. The default limits
is 5. In most cases this default value is the best setting.< BR >
< BR >
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > max_user_conferences< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" >
This option define the maximum
number of chat room any given user will be able to join. The default
is 10. This option is used to prevent possible abuses. Note that
this is a soft limits: Some users can sometime join more conferences
in cluster configurations.< BR >
< BR >
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > min_message_interval< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" >
This option defines the minimum interval between two messages send
by a user in seconds. This option is global and valid for all chat
rooms. A decimal value can be used. When this option is not defined,
message rate is not limited. This feature can be used to protect a
MUC service from users abuses and limit number of messages that will
be broadcasted by the service. A good value for this minimum message
interval is 0.4 second. If a user tries to send messages faster, an
error is send back explaining that the message have been discarded
and describing the reason why the message is not acceptable.< BR >
< BR >
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > min_presence_interval< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" >
This option defines the
minimum of time between presence changes coming from a given user in
seconds. This option is global and valid for all chat rooms. A
decimal value can be used. When this option is not defined, no
restriction is applied. This option can be used to protect a MUC
service for users abuses, as fastly changing a user presence will
result in possible large presence packet broadcast. If a user tries
to change its presence more often than the specified interval, the
presence is cached by < TT > ejabberd< / TT > and only the last presence is
broadcasted to all users in the room after expiration of the
interval delay. Intermediate presence packets are silently
discarded. A good value for this option is 4 seconds.< BR >

This module enables optional logging of Multi-User Chat (MUC) conversations to
2006-09-22 11:09:28 +02:00
HTML. Once you enable this module, users can join a chatroom using a MUC capable
Jabber client, and if they have enough privileges, they can request the
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
configuration form in which they can set the option to enable chatroom logging.< BR >
< BR >
Features:
< UL CLASS = "itemize" > < LI CLASS = "li-itemize" >
2006-09-22 11:09:28 +02:00
Chatroom details are added on top of each page: room title, JID,
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
author, subject and configuration.
< LI CLASS = "li-itemize" >
Room title and JID are links to join the chatroom (using
< A HREF = "http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4622.txt" > XMPP URIs< / A > ).
< LI CLASS = "li-itemize" > Subject and chatroom configuration changes are tracked and displayed.
< LI CLASS = "li-itemize" > Joins, leaves, nick changes, kicks, bans and `/me' are tracked and
displayed, including the reason if available.
< LI CLASS = "li-itemize" > Generated HTML files are XHTML 1.0 Transitional and CSS compliant.
< LI CLASS = "li-itemize" > Timestamps are self-referencing links.
< LI CLASS = "li-itemize" > Links on top for quicker navigation: Previous day, Next day, Up.
< LI CLASS = "li-itemize" > CSS is used for style definition, and a custom CSS file can be used.
< LI CLASS = "li-itemize" > URLs on messages and subjects are converted to hyperlinks.

< / UL >
Options:
< DL CLASS = "description" COMPACT = compact > < DT CLASS = "dt-description" >
< B > < TT > access_log< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" >
This option restricts which users are allowed to enable or disable chatroom
logging. The default value is < TT > muc_admin< / TT > . Note for this default setting
you need to have an access rule for < TT > muc_admin< / TT > in order to take effect.
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > cssfile< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" >
With this option you can set whether the HTML files should have a custom CSS
file or if they need to use the embedded CSS file. Allowed values are
< TT > false< / TT > and an URL to a CSS file. With the first value, HTML files will
include the embedded CSS code. With the latter, you can specify the URL of the
custom CSS file (for example: `http://example.com/my.css'). The default value
is < TT > false< / TT > .
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > dirtype< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" >
The type of the created directories can be specified with this option. Allowed
values are < TT > subdirs< / TT > and < TT > plain< / TT > . With the first value,
subdirectories are created for each year and month. With the latter, the
names of the log files contain the full date, and there are no subdirectories.
The default value is < TT > subdirs< / TT > .
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > outdir< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" >
This option sets the full path to the directory in which the HTML files should
be stored. Make sure the < TT > ejabberd< / TT > daemon user has write access on that
directory. The default value is < TT > "www/muc"< / TT > .
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > timezone< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" >
The time zone for the logs is configurable with this option. Allowed values
are < TT > local< / TT > and < TT > universal< / TT > . With the first value, the local time,
as reported to Erlang by the operating system, will be used. With the latter,
GMT/UTC time will be used. The default value is < TT > local< / TT > .
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > spam_prevention< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" >
To prevent spam, the < TT > spam_prevention< / TT > option adds a special attribute
to links that prevent their indexation by search engines. The default value
is < TT > true< / TT > , which mean that nofollow attributes will be added to user
submitted links.
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > < TT > top_link< / TT > < / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" >
With this option you can customize the link on the top right corner of each
log file. The syntax of this option is < TT > {"URL", "Text"}< / TT > . The default

This module enables you to create shared roster groups. This means that you can
2005-11-28 11:55:45 +01:00
create groups of people that can see members from (other) groups in their
rosters. The big advantages of this feature are that end users do not need to
manually add all users to their rosters, and that they cannot permanently delete
2007-12-20 10:29:30 +01:00
users from the shared roster groups.
A shared roster group can have members from any Jabber server,
but the presence will only be available from and to members
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
of the same virtual host where the group is created.< BR >
< BR >
Shared roster groups can be edited < EM > only< / EM > via the Web Admin. Each group
2005-11-28 11:55:45 +01:00
has a unique identification and the following parameters:
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
< DL CLASS = "description" COMPACT = compact > < DT CLASS = "dt-description" >
< B > Name< / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" > The name of the group, which will be displayed in the roster.
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > Description< / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" > The description of the group. This parameter does not affect
anything.
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > Members< / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" > A list of full JIDs of group members, entered one per line in
the Web Admin.
To put as members all the registered users in the virtual hosts,
you can use the special directive: @all@.
Note that this directive is designed for a small server with just a few hundred users.
< DT CLASS = "dt-description" > < B > Displayed groups< / B > < DD CLASS = "dd-description" > A list of groups that will be in the rosters of this
group's members.

As there are only a small amount of clients (for example
2006-09-22 11:09:28 +02:00
< A HREF = "http://tkabber.jabber.ru/" > Tkabber< / A > ) and software libraries with
2007-01-11 09:17:18 +01:00
support for this XEP, a few examples are given of the XML you need to send
2006-09-22 11:09:28 +02:00

2006-09-22 11:09:28 +02:00
implements an uncomplicated Jabber User Directory based on the vCards of

2006-10-27 18:37:10 +02:00
about these options. If one of these options is not set, < TT > ejabberd< / TT > will look
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
for the top-level option with the same name.< BR >

Let's say < TT > ldap.example.org< / TT > is the name of our LDAP server. We have

users with their passwords in < TT > "ou=Users,dc=example,dc=org"< / TT > directory.

This system is configured using environment variables and command line parameters.
The < TT > ejabberdctl< / TT > administration script uses many of those possibilities.
You can configure some of them with the file < TT > ejabberdctl.cfg< / TT > ,
which includes detailed description about them.

< TT > ejabberd< / TT > uses the distributed Mnesia database.
2007-12-06 20:47:49 +01:00
Being distributed, Mnesia enforces consistency of its file,
so it stores the name of the Erlang node in it.
The name of an Erlang node includes the hostname of the computer.
So, the name of the Erlang node changes
2008-01-15 18:53:40 +01:00
if you change the name of the machine in which < TT > ejabberd< / TT > runs,
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
or when you move < TT > ejabberd< / TT > to a different machine.< BR >
< BR >
So, if you want to change the computer hostname where < TT > ejabberd< / TT > is installed,
2007-12-06 20:47:49 +01:00
you must follow these instructions:
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
< OL CLASS = "enumerate" type = 1 > < LI CLASS = "li-enumerate" >
2008-01-15 18:53:40 +01:00
In the old server, backup the Mnesia database using the Web Admin or < TT > ejabberdctl< / TT > .
2007-12-06 20:47:49 +01:00
For example:

ejabberdctl backup /tmp/ejabberd-oldhost.backup
< / PRE > < LI CLASS = "li-enumerate" > In the new server, restore the backup file using the Web Admin or < TT > ejabberdctl< / TT > .

2007-12-06 20:47:49 +01:00
is a small name server included in Erlang/OTP
and used by Erlang programs when establishing distributed Erlang communications.
2008-01-15 18:53:40 +01:00
< TT > ejabberd< / TT > needs < TT > epmd< / TT > to use < TT > ejabberdctl< / TT > and also when clustering < TT > ejabberd< / TT > nodes.
2007-12-06 20:47:49 +01:00
This small program is automatically started by Erlang, and is never stopped.
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
If < TT > ejabberd< / TT > is stopped, and there aren't any other Erlang programs
running in the system, you can safely stop < TT > epmd< / TT > if you want.< BR >
< BR >
< TT > ejabberd< / TT > runs inside an Erlang node.
2008-01-15 18:53:40 +01:00
To communicate with < TT > ejabberd< / TT > , the script < TT > ejabberdctl< / TT > starts a new Erlang node
and connects to the Erlang node that holds < TT > ejabberd< / TT > .
2007-12-06 20:47:49 +01:00
In order for this communication to work,
< TT > epmd< / TT > must be running and listening for name requests in the port 4369.
2008-04-01 14:00:34 +02:00
You should block the port 4369 in the firewall in such a way that
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
only the programs in your machine can access it.< BR >
< BR >
If you build a cluster of several < TT > ejabberd< / TT > instances,
2008-01-15 18:53:40 +01:00
each < TT > ejabberd< / TT > instance is called an < TT > ejabberd< / TT > node.
Those < TT > ejabberd< / TT > nodes use a special Erlang communication method to
2007-12-06 20:47:49 +01:00
build the cluster, and EPMD is again needed listening in the port 4369.
2008-01-15 18:53:40 +01:00
So, if you plan to build a cluster of < TT > ejabberd< / TT > nodes
2007-12-06 20:47:49 +01:00
you must open the port 4369 for the machines involved in the cluster.

Remember to block the port so Internet doesn't have access to it.< BR >
< BR >
Once an Erlang node solved the node name of another Erlang node using EPMD and port 4369,
2007-12-06 20:47:49 +01:00
the nodes communicate directly.
2008-04-01 14:00:34 +02:00
The ports used in this case by default are random,
but can be configured in the file < TT > ejabberdctl.cfg< / TT > .
The Erlang command-line parameter used internally is, for example:
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
< PRE CLASS = "verbatim" >
erl ... -kernel inet_dist_listen_min 4370 inet_dist_listen_max 4375

<!-- TOC section Erlang Cookie -->
< H2 CLASS = "section" > < A NAME = "htoc71" > 5.3< / A > Erlang Cookie< / H2 > <!-- SEC END -->
< A NAME = "cookie" > < / A >
The Erlang cookie is a string with numbers and letters.
2007-12-06 20:47:49 +01:00
An Erlang node reads the cookie at startup from the command-line parameter < TT > -setcookie< / TT >
or from a cookie file.
Two Erlang nodes communicate only if they have the same cookie.
Setting a cookie on the Erlang node allows you to structure your Erlang network
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
and define which nodes are allowed to connect to which.< BR >
< BR >
Thanks to Erlang cookies, you can prevent access to the Erlang node by mistake,
for example when there are several Erlang nodes running different programs in the same machine.< BR >
< BR >
Setting a secret cookie is a simple method
2007-12-06 20:47:49 +01:00
to difficult unauthorized access to your Erlang node.
However, the cookie system is not ultimately effective
to prevent unauthorized access or intrusion to an Erlang node.
The communication between Erlang nodes are not encrypted,
so the cookie could be read sniffing the traffic on the network.
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
The recommended way to secure the Erlang node is to block the port 4369.< BR >

An Erlang node may have a node name.
2007-12-06 20:47:49 +01:00
The name can be short (if indicated with the command-line parameter < TT > -sname< / TT > )
or long (if indicated with the parameter < TT > -name< / TT > ).
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
Starting an Erlang node with -sname limits the communication between Erlang nodes to the LAN.< BR >
< BR >
Using the option < TT > -sname< / TT > instead of < TT > -name< / TT > is a simple method
2007-12-06 20:47:49 +01:00
to difficult unauthorized access to your Erlang node.
However, it is not ultimately effective to prevent access to the Erlang node,
because it may be possible to fake the fact that you are on another network
using a modified version of Erlang < TT > epmd< / TT > .
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
The recommended way to secure the Erlang node is to block the port 4369.< BR >

A Jabber domain is served by one or more < TT > ejabberd< / TT > nodes. These nodes can
2006-09-22 11:09:28 +02:00
be run on different machines that are connected via a network. They all
must have the ability to connect to port 4369 of all another nodes, and must
have the same magic cookie (see Erlang/OTP documentation, in other words the
file < TT > ~ejabberd/.erlang.cookie< / TT > must be the same on all nodes). This is

This module is the main router of Jabber packets on each node. It
routes them based on their destination's domains. It uses a global
routing table. The domain of the packet's destination is searched in the
2006-09-22 11:09:28 +02:00
routing table, and if it is found, the packet is routed to the
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
appropriate process. If not, it is sent to the s2s manager.< BR >

2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
Suppose you already configured < TT > ejabberd< / TT > on one machine named (< TT > first< / TT > ),
2006-09-22 11:09:28 +02:00
and you need to setup another one to make an < TT > ejabberd< / TT > cluster. Then do
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
following steps:
< OL CLASS = "enumerate" type = 1 > < LI CLASS = "li-enumerate" >
2006-09-22 11:09:28 +02:00
Copy < CODE > ~ejabberd/.erlang.cookie< / CODE > file from < TT > first< / TT > to
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
< TT > second< / TT > .< BR >
< BR >
(alt) You can also add `< CODE > -cookie content_of_.erlang.cookie< / CODE > '
option to all `< TT > erl< / TT > ' commands below.< BR >
< BR >
< LI CLASS = "li-enumerate" > On < TT > second< / TT > run the following command as the < TT > ejabberd< / TT > daemon user,
in the working directory of < TT > ejabberd< / TT > :
< PRE CLASS = "verbatim" >
erl -sname ejabberd \
2006-09-22 11:09:28 +02:00
-mnesia extra_db_nodes "['ejabberd@first']" \
-s mnesia
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
< / PRE >
This will start Mnesia serving the same database as < TT > ejabberd@first< / TT > .
You can check this by running the command `< CODE > mnesia:info().< / CODE > '. You
should see a lot of remote tables and a line like the following:
< PRE CLASS = "verbatim" >
running db nodes = [ejabberd@first, ejabberd@second]
< / PRE > < BR >
< BR >
< LI CLASS = "li-enumerate" > Now run the following in the same `< TT > erl< / TT > ' session:
< PRE CLASS = "verbatim" >
mnesia:change_table_copy_type(schema, node(), disc_copies).
< / PRE >
This will create local disc storage for the database.< BR >
< BR >
(alt) Change storage type of the < TT > scheme< / TT > table to `RAM and disc
copy' on the second node via the Web Admin.< BR >
< BR >
< LI CLASS = "li-enumerate" > Now you can add replicas of various tables to this node with
`< CODE > mnesia:add_table_copy< / CODE > ' or
`< CODE > mnesia:change_table_copy_type< / CODE > ' as above (just replace
`< CODE > schema< / CODE > ' with another table name and `< CODE > disc_copies< / CODE > '
can be replaced with `< CODE > ram_copies< / CODE > ' or
`< CODE > disc_only_copies< / CODE > ').< BR >
< BR >
Which tables to replicate is very dependant on your needs, you can get
some hints from the command `< CODE > mnesia:info().< / CODE > ', by looking at the
size of tables and the default storage type for each table on 'first'.< BR >
< BR >
Replicating a table makes lookups in this table faster on this node.
Writing, on the other hand, will be slower. And of course if machine with one
of the replicas is down, other replicas will be used.< BR >
< BR >
Also < A HREF = "http://www.erlang.se/doc/doc-5.4.9/lib/mnesia-4.2.2/doc/html/Mnesia_chap5.html#5.3" > section 5.3 (Table Fragmentation) of Mnesia User's Guide< / A > can be helpful.
< BR >
< BR >
(alt) Same as in previous item, but for other tables.< BR >
< BR >
< LI CLASS = "li-enumerate" > Run `< CODE > init:stop().< / CODE > ' or just `< CODE > q().< / CODE > ' to exit from
the Erlang shell. This probably can take some time if Mnesia has not yet
transfered and processed all data it needed from < TT > first< / TT > .< BR >
< BR >
< LI CLASS = "li-enumerate" > Now run < TT > ejabberd< / TT > on < TT > second< / TT > with almost the same config as
on < TT > first< / TT > (you probably do not need to duplicate `< CODE > acl< / CODE > '
and `< CODE > access< / CODE > ' options — they will be taken from
< TT > first< / TT > , and < CODE > mod_muc< / CODE > and < CODE > mod_irc< / CODE > should be
enabled only on one machine in the cluster).
< / OL >
You can repeat these steps for other machines supposed to serve this
domain.< BR >

< TT > ejabberd< / TT > includes an algorithm to load balance the components that are plugged on an < TT > ejabberd< / TT > cluster. It means that you can plug one or several instances of the same component on each < TT > ejabberd< / TT > cluster and that the traffic will be automatically distributed.< BR >
< BR >
The default distribution algorithm try to deliver to a local instance of a component. If several local instances are available, one instance is chosen randomly. If no instance is available locally, one instance is chosen randomly among the remote component instances.< BR >
< BR >
If you need a different behaviour, you can change the load balancing behaviour with the option < TT > domain_balancing< / TT > . The syntax of the option is the following:
< PRE CLASS = "verbatim" >
{domain_balancing, "component.example.com", < balancing_criterium> }.
< / PRE >
Several balancing criteria are available:
< UL CLASS = "itemize" > < LI CLASS = "li-itemize" >
2007-06-28 11:16:21 +02:00
< TT > destination< / TT > : the full JID of the packet < TT > to< / TT > attribute is used.
2008-04-07 15:18:42 +02:00
< LI CLASS = "li-itemize" > < TT > source< / TT > : the full JID of the packet < TT > from< / TT > attribute is used.
< LI CLASS = "li-itemize" > < TT > bare_destination< / TT > : the bare JID (without resource) of the packet < TT > to< / TT > attribute is used.
< LI CLASS = "li-itemize" > < TT > bare_source< / TT > : the bare JID (without resource) of the packet < TT > from< / TT > attribute is used.
< / UL >
If the value corresponding to the criteria is the same, the same component instance in the cluster will be used.< BR >

When there is a risk of failure for a given component, domain balancing can cause service trouble. If one component is failing the service will not work correctly unless the sessions are rebalanced.< BR >
< BR >
In this case, it is best to limit the problem to the sessions handled by the failing component. This is what the < TT > domain_balancing_component_number< / TT > option does, making the load balancing algorithm not dynamic, but sticky on a fix number of component instances.< BR >
< BR >
The syntax is the following:
