                            1  Introduction

                            ejabberd is a free (GPL) distributed fault-tolerant Jabber/XMPP server and is mainly written in Erlang.

                            -ejabberd is designed to be a stable and feature rich Jabber/XMPP server.
                            +ejabberd is designed to be a stable, standards compliant, and feature rich Jabber/XMPP server.

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

                            1.1  Key Features

                            ejabberd is: -
                            • -Multiplatform: ejabberd runs under Windows NT/2000/XP and Unix derived systems such as Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD.

                              • +Multiplatform: ejabberd runs under Microsoft Windows and Unix derived systems such as Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD.

                                -
                              • Distributed: You can run ejabberd on a cluster of machines and all of them will serve one Jabber domain. 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 hundreds of concurrent users.

                              • 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''.

                              • 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 installed, and ready to run out of the box. Other benefits for administrators include: -

 Access control in ejabberd is performed via Access Control Lists (ACLs). The
 declarations of ACLs in the configuration file have the following syntax:
-
                                                            +

 <acltype> can be one of the following:
-

  character not enclosed is matched.

 Shapers enable you to limit connection traffic. The syntax of
 shapers is like this:
-
                                                            +

                                                            Currently only one kind of shaper called maxrate is available. It has the
 following syntax:
-
                                                            +

                                                            where <rate> stands for the maximum allowed incomig rate in bytes per
 second.

 This module adds support for Private XML Storage (JEP-0049):

 Using this method, Jabber entities can store private data on the server and
 retrieve it whenever necessary. The data stored might be anything, as long as
 it is valid XML. One typical usage for this namespace is the server-side storage
 of client-specific preferences; another is Bookmark Storage (JEP-0048).

-    UPDATE spool SET seq = DEFAULT;
-    ALTER TABLE spool ALTER COLUMN seq SET NOT NULL;
