Introduction -

ejabberd is a free and open source instant messaging server written in Erlang/OTP.

ejabberd is cross-platform, distributed, fault-tolerant, and based on open standards to achieve real-time communication.

ejabberd is designed to be a rock-solid and feature rich XMPP server.

ejabberd is suitable for small deployments, whether they need to be scalable or not, as well as extremely big deployments.

- -

1  Key Features

- -

ejabberd is: -

- -

2  Additional Features

- -

Moreover, ejabberd comes with a wide range of other state-of-the-art features: -

- -

3  How it Works

-

A XMPP domain is served by one or more ejabberd nodes. These nodes can -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 -~ejabberd/.erlang.cookie must be the same on all nodes). This is -needed because all nodes exchange information about connected users, S2S -connections, registered services, etc…

Each ejabberd node have following modules: -

- -

3.1  Router

This module is the main router of XMPP packets on each node. It routes -them based on their destinations domains. It has two tables: local and global -routes. First, domain of packet destination searched in local table, and if it -found, then the packet is routed to appropriate process. If no, then it -searches in global table, and is routed to the appropriate ejabberd node or -process. If it does not exists in either tables, then it sent to the S2S -manager.

- -

3.2  Local Router

This module routes packets which have a destination domain equal to this server -name. If destination JID has a non-empty user part, then it routed to the -session manager, else it is processed depending on it’s content.

- -

3.3  Session Manager

This module routes packets to local users. It searches for what user resource -packet must be sent via presence table. If this resource is connected to -this node, it is routed to C2S process, if it connected via another node, then -the packet is sent to session manager on that node.

- -

3.4  S2S Manager

This module routes packets to other XMPP servers. First, it checks if an -open S2S connection from the domain of the packet source to the domain of -packet destination already exists. If it is open on another node, then it -routes the packet to S2S manager on that node, if it is open on this node, then -it is routed to the process that serves this connection, and if a connection -does not exist, then it is opened and registered.

- -

4  Authentication

- -

4.0.1  External

- -

The external authentication script follows -the erlang port driver API.

That script is supposed to do theses actions, in an infinite loop: -

Example python script -

#!/usr/bin/python
-
-import sys
-from struct import *
-
-def from_ejabberd():
-    input_length = sys.stdin.read(2)
-    (size,) = unpack('>h', input_length)
-    return sys.stdin.read(size).split(':')
-
-def to_ejabberd(bool):
-    answer = 0
-    if bool:
-        answer = 1
-    token = pack('>hh', 2, answer)
-    sys.stdout.write(token)
-    sys.stdout.flush()
-
-def auth(username, server, password):
-    return True
-
-def isuser(username, server):
-    return True
-
-def setpass(username, server, password):
-    return True
-
-while True:
-    data = from_ejabberd()
-    success = False
-    if data[0] == "auth":
-        success = auth(data[1], data[2], data[3])
-    elif data[0] == "isuser":
-        success = isuser(data[1], data[2])
-    elif data[0] == "setpass":
-        success = setpass(data[1], data[2], data[3])
-    to_ejabberd(success)
-
- -

5  XML Representation

-

Each XML stanza is represented as the following tuple: -

XMLElement = {xmlelement, Name, Attrs, [ElementOrCDATA]}
-        Name = string()
-        Attrs = [Attr]
-        Attr = {Key, Val}
-        Key = string()
-        Val = string()
-        ElementOrCDATA = XMLElement | CDATA
-        CDATA = {xmlcdata, string()}
-

E. g. this stanza: -

<message to='test@conference.example.org' type='groupchat'>
-  <body>test</body>
-</message>
-

is represented as the following structure: -

{xmlelement, "message",
-    [{"to", "test@conference.example.org"},
-     {"type", "groupchat"}],
-    [{xmlelement, "body",
-         [],
-         [{xmlcdata, "test"}]}]}}
-
- -

6  Module xml

-

-
element_to_string(El) -> string() -
El = XMLElement
-
Returns string representation of XML stanza El.
crypt(S) -> string() -
S = string()
-
Returns string which correspond to S with encoded XML special -characters.
remove_cdata(ECList) -> EList -
ECList = [ElementOrCDATA]
-EList = [XMLElement]
-
EList is a list of all non-CDATA elements of ECList.
get_path_s(El, Path) -> Res -
El = XMLElement
-Path = [PathItem]
-PathItem = PathElem | PathAttr | PathCDATA
-PathElem = {elem, Name}
-PathAttr = {attr, Name}
-PathCDATA = cdata
-Name = string()
-Res = string() | XMLElement
-
If Path is empty, then returns El. Else sequentially -consider elements of Path. Each element is one of: -
-
{elem, Name} Name is name of subelement of -El, if such element exists, then this element considered in -following steps, else returns empty string. -
{attr, Name} If El have attribute Name, then -returns value of this attribute, else returns empty string. -
cdata Returns CDATA of El. -
TODO: -
         get_cdata/1, get_tag_cdata/1
-         get_attr/2, get_attr_s/2
-         get_tag_attr/2, get_tag_attr_s/2
-         get_subtag/2
-
- -

7  Module xml_stream

-

-
parse_element(Str) -> XMLElement | {error, Err} -
Str = string()
-Err = term()
-
Parses Str using XML parser, returns either parsed element or error -tuple. -
- -

8  Modules

-

- -

8.1  Module gen_iq_handler

-

The module gen_iq_handler allows to easily write handlers for IQ packets -of particular XML namespaces that addressed to server or to users bare JIDs.

In this module the following functions are defined: -

-
add_iq_handler(Component, Host, NS, Module, Function, Type) -
Component = Module = Function = atom()
-Host = NS = string()
-Type = no_queue | one_queue | parallel
-
Registers function Module:Function as handler for IQ packets on -virtual host Host that contain child of namespace NS in -Component. Queueing discipline is Type. There are at least -two components defined: -
-
ejabberd_local Handles packets that addressed to server JID; -
ejabberd_sm Handles packets that addressed to users bare JIDs. -
-
remove_iq_handler(Component, Host, NS) -
Component = atom()
-Host = NS = string()
-
Removes IQ handler on virtual host Host for namespace NS from -Component. -

Handler function must have the following type: -

-
Module:Function(From, To, IQ) -
From = To = jid()
-
-module(mod_cputime).
-
--behaviour(gen_mod).
-
--export([start/2,
-         stop/1,

-                                  ?MODULE, process_local_iq, IQDisc).
-
-stop(Host) ->
-    gen_iq_handler:remove_iq_handler(ejabberd_local, Host, ?NS_CPUTIME).
-
-process_local_iq(From, To, {iq, ID, Type, XMLNS, SubEl}) ->
-    case Type of
-        set ->
-            {iq, ID, error, XMLNS,
-             [SubEl, ?ERR_NOT_ALLOWED]};
-        get ->
-            CPUTime = element(1, erlang:statistics(runtime))/1000,
-            SCPUTime = lists:flatten(io_lib:format("~.3f", CPUTime)),
-            {iq, ID, result, XMLNS,
-             [{xmlelement, "query",
-               [{"xmlns", ?NS_CPUTIME}],
-               [{xmlelement, "cputime", [], [{xmlcdata, SCPUTime}]}]}]}
-    end.
-

These nodes can -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 -\texttt{\~{}ejabberd/.erlang.cookie} must be the same on all nodes). This is -needed because all nodes exchange information about connected users, S2S -connections, registered services, etc\ldots - - - -Each \ejabberd{} node have following modules: -\begin{itemize} -\item router; -\item local router. -\item session manager; -\item S2S manager; -\end{itemize} - - -\subsection{Router} - -This module is the main router of \XMPP{} packets on each node. It routes -them based on their destinations domains. It has two tables: local and global -routes. First, domain of packet destination searched in local table, and if it -found, then the packet is routed to appropriate process. If no, then it -searches in global table, and is routed to the appropriate \ejabberd{} node or -process. If it does not exists in either tables, then it sent to the S2S -manager. - - -\subsection{Local Router} - -This module routes packets which have a destination domain equal to this server -name. If destination JID has a non-empty user part, then it routed to the -session manager, else it is processed depending on it's content. - - -\subsection{Session Manager} - -This module routes packets to local users. It searches for what user resource -packet must be sent via presence table. If this resource is connected to -this node, it is routed to C2S process, if it connected via another node, then -the packet is sent to session manager on that node. - - -\subsection{S2S Manager} - -This module routes packets to other \XMPP{} servers. First, it checks if an -open S2S connection from the domain of the packet source to the domain of -packet destination already exists. If it is open on another node, then it -routes the packet to S2S manager on that node, if it is open on this node, then -it is routed to the process that serves this connection, and if a connection -does not exist, then it is opened and registered. - - -\section{Authentication} - -\subsubsection{External} -\label{externalauth} -\ind{external authentication} - -The external authentication script follows -\footahref{http://www.erlang.org/doc/tutorial/c_portdriver.html}{the erlang port driver API}. - -That script is supposed to do theses actions, in an infinite loop: -\begin{itemize} -\item read from stdin: AABBBBBBBBB..... - \begin{itemize} - \item A: 2 bytes of length data (a short in network byte order) - \item B: a string of length found in A that contains operation in plain text - operation are as follows: - \begin{itemize} - \item auth:User:Server:Password (check if a username/password pair is correct) - \item isuser:User:Server (check if it's a valid user) - \item setpass:User:Server:Password (set user's password) - \item tryregister:User:Server:Password (try to register an account) - \item removeuser:User:Server (remove this account) - \item removeuser3:User:Server:Password (remove this account if the password is correct) - \end{itemize} - \end{itemize} -\item write to stdout: AABB - \begin{itemize} - \item A: the number 2 (coded as a short, which is bytes length of following result) - \item B: the result code (coded as a short), should be 1 for success/valid, or 0 for failure/invalid - \end{itemize} -\end{itemize} - -Example python script -\begin{verbatim} -#!/usr/bin/python - -import sys -from struct import * - -def from_ejabberd(): - input_length = sys.stdin.read(2) - (size,) = unpack('>h', input_length) - return sys.stdin.read(size).split(':') - -def to_ejabberd(bool): - answer = 0 - if bool: - answer = 1 - token = pack('>hh', 2, answer) - sys.stdout.write(token) - sys.stdout.flush() - -def auth(username, server, password): - return True - -def isuser(username, server): - return True - -def setpass(username, server, password): - return True - -while True: - data = from_ejabberd() - success = False - if data[0] == "auth": - success = auth(data[1], data[2], data[3]) - elif data[0] == "isuser": - success = isuser(data[1], data[2]) - elif data[0] == "setpass": - success = setpass(data[1], data[2], data[3]) - to_ejabberd(success) -\end{verbatim} - -\section{XML Representation} -\label{xmlrepr} - -Each XML stanza is represented as the following tuple: -\begin{verbatim} -XMLElement = {xmlelement, Name, Attrs, [ElementOrCDATA]} - Name = string() - Attrs = [Attr] - Attr = {Key, Val} - Key = string() - Val = string() - ElementOrCDATA = XMLElement | CDATA - CDATA = {xmlcdata, string()} -\end{verbatim} -E.\,g. this stanza: -\begin{verbatim} - - test - -\end{verbatim} -is represented as the following structure: -\begin{verbatim} -{xmlelement, "message", - [{"to", "test@conference.example.org"}, - {"type", "groupchat"}], - [{xmlelement, "body", - [], - [{xmlcdata, "test"}]}]}} -\end{verbatim} - - - -\section{Module \texttt{xml}} -\label{xmlmod} - -\begin{description} -\item{\verb|element_to_string(El) -> string()|} -\begin{verbatim} -El = XMLElement -\end{verbatim} - Returns string representation of XML stanza \texttt{El}. - -\item{\verb|crypt(S) -> string()|} -\begin{verbatim} -S = string() -\end{verbatim} - Returns string which correspond to \texttt{S} with encoded XML special - characters. - -\item{\verb|remove_cdata(ECList) -> EList|} -\begin{verbatim} -ECList = [ElementOrCDATA] -EList = [XMLElement] -\end{verbatim} - \texttt{EList} is a list of all non-CDATA elements of ECList. - - - -\item{\verb|get_path_s(El, Path) -> Res|} -\begin{verbatim} -El = XMLElement -Path = [PathItem] -PathItem = PathElem | PathAttr | PathCDATA -PathElem = {elem, Name} -PathAttr = {attr, Name} -PathCDATA = cdata -Name = string() -Res = string() | XMLElement -\end{verbatim} - If \texttt{Path} is empty, then returns \texttt{El}.

I can thoroughly recommend ejabberd for ease of setup – -Kevin Smith, Current maintainer of the Psi project

Introduction -

I just tried out ejabberd and was impressed both by ejabberd itself and the language it is written in, Erlang. — -Joeri

ejabberd is a free and open source instant messaging server written in Erlang/OTP.

ejabberd is cross-platform, distributed, fault-tolerant, and based on open standards to achieve real-time communication.

ejabberd is designed to be a rock-solid and feature rich XMPP server.

ejabberd is suitable for small deployments, whether they need to be scalable or not, as well as extremely big deployments.

For example: -\begin{verbatim} -chmod +x ejabberd-2.0.0_1-linux-x86-installer.bin -./ejabberd-2.0.0_1-linux-x86-installer.bin -\end{verbatim} - -\ejabberd{} can be started manually at any time, -or automatically by the operating system at system boot time. - -To start and stop \ejabberd{} manually, -use the desktop shortcuts created by the installer. -If the machine doesn't have a graphical system, use the scripts 'start' -and 'stop' in the 'bin' directory where \ejabberd{} is installed. - -The Windows installer also adds ejabberd as a system service, -and a shortcut to a debug console for experienced administrators. -If you want ejabberd to be started automatically at boot time, -go to the Windows service settings and set ejabberd to be automatically started. -Note that the Windows service is a feature still in development, -and for example it doesn't read the file ejabberdctl.cfg. - -On a *nix system, if you want ejabberd to be started as daemon at boot time, -copy \term{ejabberd.init} from the 'bin' directory to something like \term{/etc/init.d/ejabberd} -(depending on your distribution). -Create a system user called \term{ejabberd}, -give it write access to the directories \term{database/} and \term{logs/}, and set that as home; -the script will start the server with that user. -Then you can call \term{/etc/inid.d/ejabberd start} as root to start the server. - -When ejabberd is started, the processes that are started in the system -are \term{beam} or \term{beam.smp}, and also \term{epmd}. -In Microsoft Windows, the processes are \term{erl.exe} and \term{epmd.exe}. -For more information regarding \term{epmd} consult the section \ref{epmd}. - -If \term{ejabberd} doesn't start correctly in Windows, -try to start it using the shortcut in desktop or start menu. -If the window shows error 14001, the solution is to install: -"Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package". -You can download it from -\footahref{http://www.microsoft.com/}{www.microsoft.com}. -Then uninstall \ejabberd{} and install it again. - -If \term{ejabberd} doesn't start correctly and a crash dump is generated, -there was a severe problem. -You can try starting \term{ejabberd} with -the script \term{bin/live.bat} in Windows, -or with the command \term{bin/ejabberdctl live} in other Operating Systems. -This way you see the error message provided by Erlang -and can identify what is exactly the problem. - -The \term{ejabberdctl} administration script is included in the \term{bin} directory. -Please refer to the section~\ref{ejabberdctl} for details about \term{ejabberdctl}, -and configurable options to fine tune the Erlang runtime system. - -\makesection{install.os}{Installing \ejabberd{} with Operating System Specific Packages} - -Some Operating Systems provide a specific \ejabberd{} package adapted to -the system architecture and libraries. -It usually also checks dependencies -and performs basic configuration tasks like creating the initial -administrator account.

Remark also that HTTP Polling can be - interesting to host a web-based \XMPP{} client such as - \footahref{http://jwchat.sourceforge.net/}{JWChat}. - - The maximum period of time to keep a client session active without - an incoming POST request can be configured with the global option - \term{http\_poll\_timeout}. The default value is five minutes. - The option can be defined in \term{ejabberd.yml}, expressing the time - in seconds: \verb|{http_poll_timeout, 300}.| - \titem{max\_ack\_queue: Size} - This option specifies the maximum number of unacknowledged stanzas - queued for possible retransmission if \term{stream\_management} is - enabled. When the limit is exceeded, the client session is - terminated. This option can be specified for \term{ejabberd\_c2s} - listeners. The allowed values are positive integers and - \term{infinity}. Default value: \term{500}. - \titem{max\_fsm\_queue: Size} - This option specifies the maximum number of elements in the queue of the FSM - (Finite State Machine). - Roughly speaking, each message in such queues represents one XML - stanza queued to be sent into its relevant outgoing stream. If queue size - reaches the limit (because, for example, the receiver of stanzas is too slow), - the FSM and the corresponding connection (if any) will be terminated - and error message will be logged. - The reasonable value for this option depends on your hardware configuration. - However, there is no much sense to set the size above 1000 elements. - This option can be specified for \term{ejabberd\_service} and - \term{ejabberd\_c2s} listeners, - or also globally for \term{ejabberd\_s2s\_out}. - If the option is not specified for \term{ejabberd\_service} or - \term{ejabberd\_c2s} listeners, - the globally configured value is used. - The allowed values are integers and 'undefined'. - Default value: 'undefined'. - \titem{max\_stanza\_size: Size} - \ind{options!max\_stanza\_size}This option specifies an - approximate maximum size in bytes of XML stanzas. Approximate, - because it is calculated with the precision of one block of read - data. For example \verb|{max_stanza_size, 65536}|. The default - value is \term{infinity}. 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. - \titem{request\_handlers: \{Path: Module\}} To define one or several handlers that will serve HTTP requests. - The Path is a string; so the URIs that start with that Path will be served by Module. - For example, if you want \term{mod\_foo} to serve the URIs that start with \term{/a/b/}, - and you also want \term{mod\_http\_bind} to serve the URIs \term{/http-bind/}, - use this option: -\begin{verbatim} -request_handlers: - /"a"/"b": mod_foo - /"http-bind": mod_http_bind -\end{verbatim} - \titem{resend\_on\_timeout: true|false|if\_offline} - If \term{stream\_management} is enabled and this option is set to - \term{true}, any stanzas that weren't acknowledged by the client - will be resent on session timeout. This behavior might often be - desired, but could have unexpected results under certain - circumstances. For example, a message that was sent to two resources - might get resent to one of them if the other one timed out. - Therefore, the default value for this option is \term{false}, which - tells ejabberd to generate an error message instead. As an - alternative, the option may be set to \term{if\_offline}. In this - case, unacknowledged stanzas are resent only if no other resource is - online when the session times out. Otherwise, error messages are - generated. The option can be specified for \term{ejabberd\_c2s} - listeners. - \titem{resume\_timeout: Seconds} - This option configures the number of seconds until a session times - out if the connection is lost. During this period of time, a client - may resume the session if \term{stream\_management} is enabled. This - option can be specified for \term{ejabberd\_c2s} listeners. Setting - it to \term{0} effectively disables session resumption. The default - value is \term{300}. - \titem{service\_check\_from: true|false} - \ind{options!service\_check\_from} - This option can be used with \term{ejabberd\_service} only. - \xepref{0114} requires that the domain must match the hostname of the component. - If this option is set to \term{false}, \ejabberd{} will allow the component - to send stanzas with any arbitrary domain in the 'from' attribute. - Only use this option if you are completely sure about it. - The default value is \term{true}, to be compliant with \xepref{0114}. - \titem{shaper: none|ShaperName} \ind{options!shaper}This option defines a - shaper for the port (see section~\ref{shapers}). The default value - is \term{none}. - \titem{shaper\_rule: none|ShaperRule} \ind{options!shaperrule}This option defines a - shaper rule for the \term{ejabberd\_service} (see section~\ref{shapers}). The recommended value - is \term{fast}. - \titem{starttls: true|false} \ind{options!starttls}\ind{STARTTLS}This option - specifies that STARTTLS encryption is available on connections to the port. - You should also set the \option{certfile} option. - You can define a certificate file for a specific domain using the global option \option{domain\_certfile}. - \titem{starttls\_required: true|false} \ind{options!starttls\_required}This option - specifies that STARTTLS encryption is required on connections to the port. - No unencrypted connections will be allowed. - You should also set the \option{certfile} option. - You can define a certificate file for a specific domain using the global option \option{domain\_certfile}. - \titem{stream\_management: true|false} - Setting this option to \term{false} disables ejabberd's support for - Stream Management (\xepref{0198}). It can be specified for - \term{ejabberd\_c2s} listeners. The default value is \term{true}. - \titem{timeout: Integer} \ind{options!timeout} - Timeout of the connections, expressed in milliseconds. - Default: 5000 - \titem{tls: true|false} \ind{options!tls}\ind{TLS}This option specifies that traffic on - the port will be encrypted using SSL immediately after connecting. - This was the traditional encryption method in the early Jabber software, - commonly on port 5223 for client-to-server communications. - But this method is nowadays deprecated and not recommended. - The preferable encryption method is STARTTLS on port 5222, as defined - \footahref{http://xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc6120.html\#tls}{RFC 6120: XMPP Core}, - which can be enabled in \ejabberd{} with the option \term{starttls}. - If this option is set, you should also set the \option{certfile} option. - The option \term{tls} can also be used in \term{ejabberd\_http} to support HTTPS. - \titem{tls\_compression: true|false} - Whether to enable or disable TLS compression. The default value is \term{true}. - \titem{trusted\_proxies: all | [IpString]} \ind{options!trusted\_proxies} - Specify what proxies are trusted when an HTTP request contains the header \term{X-Forwarded-For} - You can specify \term{all} to allow all proxies, or specify a list of IPs in string format. - The default value is: \term{["127.0.0.1"]} - \titem{web\_admin: true|false} \ind{options!web\_admin}\ind{web admin}This option - enables the Web Admin for \ejabberd{} administration which is available - at \verb|http://server:port/admin/|.

The default - value is \term{none}, which means that only the room creator can - administer his room. - The administrators can send a normal message to the service JID, - and it will be shown in all active rooms as a service message. - The administrators can send a groupchat message to the JID of an active room, - and the message will be shown in the room as a service message. -\titem{history\_size: Size} \ind{options!history\_size}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 \term{0} disables the history feature - and, as a result, nothing is kept in memory. The default value is - \term{20}. This value is global and thus affects all rooms on the - service. -\titem{max\_users: Number} \ind{options!max\_users} This option defines at - the service level, the maximum number of users allowed per - room.

This option is global and valid for all - 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 occupant 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 an occupant tries to send messages faster, an - error is send back explaining that the message has been discarded - and describing the reason why the message is not acceptable. -\titem{min\_presence\_interval: Number} - \ind{options!min\_presence\_interval} This option defines the - minimum of time between presence changes coming from a given occupant in - seconds. This option is global and valid for all 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 occupants abuses. If an occupant tries - to change its presence more often than the specified interval, the - presence is cached by \ejabberd{} and only the last presence is - broadcasted to all occupants in the room after expiration of the - interval delay.

Then do -following steps: - -\begin{enumerate} -\item Copy \verb|~ejabberd/.erlang.cookie| file from \term{first} to - \term{second}. - - (alt) You can also add `\verb|-setcookie content_of_.erlang.cookie|' - option to all `\shell{erl}' commands below. - -\item On \term{second} run the following command as the \ejabberd{} daemon user, - in the working directory of \ejabberd{}: - -\begin{verbatim} -erl -sname ejabberd \ - -mnesia dir '"/var/lib/ejabberd/"' \ - -mnesia extra_db_nodes "['ejabberd@first']" \ - -s mnesia -\end{verbatim} - - This will start Mnesia serving the same database as \node{ejabberd@first}. - You can check this by running the command `\verb|mnesia:info().|'. You - should see a lot of remote tables and a line like the following: - - Note: the Mnesia directory may be different in your system. - To know where does ejabberd expect Mnesia to be installed by default, - call \ref{ejabberdctl} without options and it will show some help, - including the Mnesia database spool dir. - -\begin{verbatim} -running db nodes = [ejabberd@first, ejabberd@second] -\end{verbatim} - - -\item Now run the following in the same `\shell{erl}' session: - -\begin{verbatim} -mnesia:change_table_copy_type(schema, node(), disc_copies). -\end{verbatim} - - This will create local disc storage for the database. - - (alt) Change storage type of the \term{scheme} table to `RAM and disc - copy' on the second node via the Web Admin. - - -\item Now you can add replicas of various tables to this node with - `\verb|mnesia:add_table_copy|' or - `\verb|mnesia:change_table_copy_type|' as above (just replace - `\verb|schema|' with another table name and `\verb|disc_copies|' - can be replaced with `\verb|ram_copies|' or - `\verb|disc_only_copies|'). - - Which tables to replicate is very dependant on your needs, you can get - some hints from the command `\verb|mnesia:info().|', by looking at the - size of tables and the default storage type for each table on 'first'. - - 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. - - Also \footahref{http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/mnesia/Mnesia\_chap5.html\#5.3} - {section 5.3 (Table Fragmentation) of Mnesia User's Guide} can be helpful. - % The above URL needs update every Erlang release! - - (alt) Same as in previous item, but for other tables. - - -\item Run `\verb|init:stop().|' or just `\verb|q().|' 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 \term{first}. - - -\item Now run \ejabberd{} on \term{second} with a configuration similar as - on \term{first}: you probably do not need to duplicate `\verb|acl|' - and `\verb|access|' options because they will be taken from - \term{first}; and \verb|mod_irc| should be - enabled only on one machine in the cluster. -\end{enumerate} - -You can repeat these steps for other machines supposed to serve this -domain. - -\makesection{servicelb}{Service Load-Balancing} -\ind{component load-balancing} - -% This section never had content, should it? -% \makesubsection{componentlb}{Components Load-Balancing} - -\makesubsection{domainlb}{Domain Load-Balancing Algorithm} -\ind{options!domain\_balancing} - -\ejabberd{} includes an algorithm to load balance the components that are plugged on an \ejabberd{} cluster.

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. - -\item \marking{Fault-tolerant:} You can deploy an \ejabberd{} 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'. - -\item \marking{Administrator Friendly:} \ejabberd{} 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: -\begin{itemize} -\item Comprehensive documentation. -\item Straightforward installers for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. %%\improved{} -\item Web Administration. -\item Shared Roster Groups. -\item Command line administration tool. %%\improved{} -\item Can integrate with existing authentication mechanisms. -\item Capability to send announce messages. -\end{itemize} - -\item \marking{Internationalized:} \ejabberd{} leads in internationalization. Hence it is very well suited in a globalized world. Related features are: -\begin{itemize} -\item Translated to 25 languages. %%\improved{} -\item Support for \footahref{http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3490}{IDNA}. -\end{itemize} - -\item \marking{Open Standards:} \ejabberd{} is the first Open Source Jabber server claiming to fully comply to the XMPP standard. -\begin{itemize} -\item Fully XMPP compliant. -\item XML-based protocol. -\item \footahref{http://www.ejabberd.im/protocols}{Many protocols supported}. -\end{itemize} - -\end{itemize} - -\newpage - -\section{Additional Features} -\label{addfeatures} -\ind{features!additional features} - -\quoting{ejabberd is making inroads to solving the "buggy incomplete server" problem --- -Justin Karneges, Founder of the Psi and the Delta projects} - -Moreover, \ejabberd{} comes with a wide range of other state-of-the-art features: -\begin{itemize} -\item Modular -\begin{itemize} -\item Load only the modules you want. -\item Extend \ejabberd{} with your own custom modules. -\end{itemize} -\item Security -\begin{itemize} -\item SASL and STARTTLS for c2s and s2s connections. -\item STARTTLS and Dialback s2s connections. -\item Web Admin accessible via HTTPS secure access. -\end{itemize} -\item Databases -\begin{itemize} -\item Internal database for fast deployment (Mnesia). -\item Native MySQL support. -\item Native PostgreSQL support. -\item ODBC data storage support. -\item Microsoft SQL Server support. %%\new{} -\item Riak NoSQL database support. -\end{itemize} -\item Authentication -\begin{itemize} -\item Internal Authentication. -\item PAM, LDAP, ODBC and Riak. %%\improved{} -\item External Authentication script. -\end{itemize} -\item Others -\begin{itemize} -\item Support for virtual hosting. -\item Compressing XML streams with Stream Compression (\xepref{0138}). -\item Statistics via Statistics Gathering (\xepref{0039}). -\item IPv6 support both for c2s and s2s connections. -\item \txepref{0045}{Multi-User Chat} module with support for clustering and HTML logging. %%\improved{} -\item Users Directory based on users vCards. -\item \txepref{0060}{Publish-Subscribe} component with support for \txepref{0163}{Personal Eventing via Pubsub}. -\item Support for web clients: \txepref{0025}{HTTP Polling} and \txepref{0206}{HTTP Binding (BOSH)} services. -\item IRC transport. -\item SIP support. -\item Component support: interface with networks such as AIM, ICQ and MSN installing special tranports. -\end{itemize} -\end{itemize} diff --git a/doc/logo.png b/doc/logo.png deleted file mode 100644 index b8d17ebfd..000000000 Binary files a/doc/logo.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/doc/msrl-dit-deep.png b/doc/msrl-dit-deep.png deleted file mode 100644 index 25afcf4fb..000000000 Binary files a/doc/msrl-dit-deep.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/doc/msrl-dit-flat.png b/doc/msrl-dit-flat.png deleted file mode 100644 index 82d76036d..000000000 Binary files a/doc/msrl-dit-flat.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/doc/msrl-roster-deep.png b/doc/msrl-roster-deep.png deleted file mode 100644 index aa1017ecf..000000000 Binary files a/doc/msrl-roster-deep.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/doc/msrl-roster-flat.png b/doc/msrl-roster-flat.png deleted file mode 100644 index b998d9225..000000000 Binary files a/doc/msrl-roster-flat.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/doc/webadmmain.png b/doc/webadmmain.png deleted file mode 100644 index 2228dcd68..000000000 Binary files a/doc/webadmmain.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/doc/webadmmainru.png b/doc/webadmmainru.png deleted file mode 100644 index 3fd34ae8c..000000000 Binary files a/doc/webadmmainru.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/doc/yozhikheader.png b/doc/yozhikheader.png deleted file mode 100644 index f2a4e4f00..000000000 Binary files a/doc/yozhikheader.png and /dev/null differ
