<TT>ejabberd</TT> is a free and open source instant messaging server written in <A HREF="http://www.erlang.org/">Erlang</A>.<BR>
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<TT>ejabberd</TT> is cross-platform, distributed, fault-tolerant, and based on open standards to achieve real-time communication.<BR>
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<TT>ejabberd</TT> is designed to be a rock-solid and feature rich XMPP server.<BR>
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<TT>ejabberd</TT> is suitable for small deployments, whether they need to be scalable or not, as well as extremely big deployments.<BR>

<TT>ejabberd</TT> is:
|
|
<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:
|
|
<UL CLASS="itemize"><LI CLASS="li-itemize">

configuration file contains a sequence of Erlang terms. Lines beginning with a

the name of an option, and any further elements are that option's values. If the

The option <TT>modules</TT> defines the list of modules that will be loaded after

The following table lists all modules available in the official <TT>ejabberd</TT>
|
|
distribution. You can find more
|
|
<A HREF="http://ejabberd.jabber.ru/contributions">contributed modules</A> on the

<TT>ejabberd</TT> website. Please remember that these contributions might not work or
|
|
that they can contain severe bugs and security leaks. Therefore, use them at

|
your own risk!<BR>
|
|
<BR>
|
|
You can see which database backend each module needs by looking at the suffix:
|
|
<UL CLASS="itemize"><LI CLASS="li-itemize">
|
|
`_ldap', this means that the module needs an LDAP server as backend.
|
|
<LI CLASS="li-itemize">`_odbc', this means that the module needs a supported database
|
|
(see <A HREF="#sec:database">4</A>) as backend.
|
|
<LI CLASS="li-itemize">No suffix, this means that the modules uses Erlang's built-in database
|
|
Mnesia as backend.
|
|
</UL>
|
|
If you want to
|
|
It is possible to use a relational database to store pieces of
|
|
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
|
|
database for the following data:
|
|
<UL CLASS="itemize"><LI CLASS="li-itemize">
|
|
Last connection date and time: Use <TT>mod_last_odbc</TT> instead of
|
|
<TT>mod_last</TT>.
|
|
<LI CLASS="li-itemize">Offline messages: Use <TT>mod_offline_odbc</TT> instead of
|
|
<TT>mod_offline</TT>.

Many modules define handlers for processing IQ queries of different namespaces
|
|
to this server or to a user (e. g. to <TT>example.org</TT> or to
|
|
<TT>user@example.org</TT>). This option defines processing discipline for
|
|
these queries. Possible values are:
|
|
<DL CLASS="description" COMPACT=compact><DT CLASS="dt-description">
|
|
<B><TT>no_queue</TT></B><DD CLASS="dd-description"> All queries of a namespace with this processing discipline are
|
|
processed immediately. This also means that no other packets can be processed
|
|
until this one has been completely processed. Hence this discipline is not
|
|
recommended if the processing of a query can take a relatively long time.
|
|
<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
|
|
of this queue is done in parallel with that of other packets. This discipline
|
|
is most recommended.
|
|
<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).

This module enables you to create shared roster groups. This means that you can
|
|
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
|
|
users from the shared roster groups.<BR>
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Shared roster groups can be edited <EM>only</EM> via the web interface. Each group
|
|
has a unique identification and the following parameters:
|
|
<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 interface.
|
|
<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.

<TT>ejabberd</TT> can map LDAP attributes to vCard fields. This behaviour is

authentication method (see <A HREF="#sec:ldapauth">4.5.2</A>). The <TT>mod_vcard_ldap</TT> module has

its own optional parameters. The first group of parameters has the same

A Jabber domain is served by one or more <TT>ejabberd</TT> 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 <TT>~ejabberd/.erlang.cookie</TT> must be the same on all nodes). This is
|

needed because all nodes exchange information about connected users, s2s

This module is the main router of Jabber packets on each node. It

|
routing table. The domain of the packet's destination is searched in the
|

routing table, and if it is found, the packet is routed to the

appropriate process. If not, it is sent to the s2s manager.<BR>

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,

This will start Mnesia serving the same database as <TT>ejabberd@first</TT>.

<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>

Replicating a table makes lookups in this table faster on this node.

ejabberd 0.9
|
|
|
|
This document describes the major new features of and changes to
|
|
ejabberd 0.9, compared to latest public release ejabber 0.7.5.
|
|
|
|
For more detailed information, please refer to ejabberd User
|
|
Guide.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Virtual Hosting
|
|
|
|
ejabberd now can host several domain on the same instance.
|
|
This option is enabled by using:
|
|
|
|
{hosts, ["erlang-projects.org", "erlang-fr.org"]}.
|
|
|
|
instead of the previous host directive.
|
|
|
|
Note that you are now using a list of hosts. The main one should
|
|
be the first listed. See migration section further in this release
|
|
note for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Shared Roster
|
|
|
|
Shared roster is a new feature that allow the ejabberd
|
|
administrator to add jabber user that will be present in the
|
|
roster of every users on the server.
|
|
Shared roster are enabled by adding:
|
|
|
|
{mod_shared_roster, []}
|
|
|
|
at the end of your module list in your ejabberd.cfg file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PostgreSQL (ODBC) support
|
|
|
|
This feature is experimental and not yet properly documented. This
|
|
feature is released for testing purpose.
|
|
|
|
You need to have Erlang/OTP R10 to compile with ODBC on various
|
|
flavour of *nix. You should use Erlang/OTP R10B-4, as this task
|
|
has became easier with this release. It comes already build in
|
|
Erlang/OTP Microsoft Windows binary.
|
|
|
|
PostgreSQL support is enabled by using the following module in
|
|
ejabberd.cfg instead of their standard counterpart:
|
|
|
|
mod_last_odbc.erl
|
|
mod_offline_odbc.erl
|
|
mod_roster_odbc.erl
|
|
|
|
The database schema is located in the src/odbc/pq.sql file.
|
|
|
|
Look at the src/ejabberd.cfg.example file for more information on
|
|
how to configure ejabberd with odbc support. You can get support
|
|
on how to configure ejabberd with a relational database.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Migration from ejabberd 0.7.5
|
|
|
|
Migration is pretty straightforward as Mnesia database schema
|
|
conversions is handled automatically. Remember however that you
|
|
must backup your ejabberd database before migration.
|
|
|
|
Here are the following steps to proceed:
|
|
|
|
1. Stop your instance of ejabberd.
|
|
|
|
2. In ejabberd.cfg, define the host lists. Change the host
|
|
directive to the hosts one:
|
|
Before:
|
|
{host, "erlang-projects.org"}.
|
|
After:
|
|
{hosts, ["erlang-projects.org", "erlang-fr.org"]}.
|
|
Note that when you restart the server the existing users will be
|
|
affected to the first virtual host, so the order is important. You
|
|
should keep the previous hostname as the first virtual host.
|
|
|
|
3. Restart ejabberd.

ejabberd 0.9.8
|
|
2005-08-01
|
|
|
|
This document describes the main changes in ejabberd 0.9.8. This
|
|
version prepares the way for the release of ejabberd 1.0, which
|
|
is due later this year.
|
|
|
|
The code can be downloaded from the Process-one website:
|
|
http://www.process-one.net/en/projects/ejabberd/
|
|
|
|
For more detailed information, please refer to ejabberd User Guide
|
|
on the Process-one website:

|
http://www.process-one.net/en/projects/ejabberd/docs.html
|
|
|
|
|
|
Recent changes include....
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enhanced virtual hosting
|
|
|
|
Virtual hosting applies to many more setting options and
|
|
features and is transparent. Virtual hosting accepts different
|
|
parameters for different virtual hosts regarding the following
|
|
features: authentication method, access control lists and access
|
|
rules, users management, statistics, and shared roster. The web
|
|
interface gives access to each virtual host's parameters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enhanced Publish-Subscribe module
|
|
|
|
ejabberd's Publish-Subscribe module integrates enhancements
|
|
coming from J-EAI, an XMPP-based integration server built on
|
|
ejabberd. ejabberd thus supports Publish-Subscribe node
|
|
configuration. It is possible to define nodes that should be
|
|
persistent, and the number of items to persist. Besides that, it
|
|
is also possible to define various notification parameters, such
|
|
as the delivery of the payload with the notifications, and the
|
|
notification of subscribers when some changes occur on items.
|
|
Other examples are: the maximum size of the items payload, the
|
|
subscription approvers, the limitation of the notification to
|
|
online users only, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Code reorganisation and update
|
|
|
|
- The mod_register module has been cleaned up.
|
|
- ODBC support has been updated and several bugs have been fixed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Development API
|
|
|
|
To ease the work of Jabber/XMPP developers, a filter_packet hook
|
|
has been added. As a result it is possible to develop plugins to
|
|
filter or modify packets flowing through ejabberd.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Translations
|
|
|
|
- Translations have been updated to support the new Publish-Subscribe features.
|
|
- A new Brazilian Portuguese translation has been contributed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Web interface
|
|
|
|
- The CSS stylesheet from the web interface is W3C compliant.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installers
|
|
|
|
Installers are provided for Microsoft Windows and Linux/x86. The
|
|
Linux installer includes Erlang ASN.1 modules for LDAP
|
|
authentication support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bugfixes
|
|
|
|
- This release contains several bugfixes and architectural
|
|
changes. Among other bugfixes include improvements in LDAP
|
|
authentication. Please refer to the ChangeLog file supplied
|
|
with this release regarding all improvements in ejabberd.

|
14 December 2005
|
|
|
|
This document describes the main changes in ejabberd 1.0.0. Unique in this
|
|
version is the compliancy with the XMPP (eXtensible Messaging and Presence
|
|
Protocol) standard. ejabberd is the first Open Source Jabber server claiming
|
|
to fully comply to the XMPP standard.

|
|
|
- Support for STARTTLS and SASL EXTERNAL to secure server-to-server traffic
|
|
has been added.
|
|
- Also, STARTTLS and Dialback has been implemented for server-to-server (s2s)
|
|
connections. Detailed information about these new features can be found on

|
|
Mnesia to an ODBC compatible relational database.
|
|
|
|
Native PostgreSQL Support
|
|
|
|
- Native PostgreSQL support gives you a better performance when you use

|
|
can pass the "--enable-roster-gateway-workaround" option to the configure
|
|
script. (./configure --enable-roster-gateway-workaround)
|
|
This option allows transports to add items with subscription "to" in the
|
|
roster by sending <presence type='subscribed'/> stanza to user. This option
|
|
is only needed for JIT ICQ transport.
|
|
Warning: by enabling this option, ejabberd will not be fully XMPP compliant
|
|
anymore.
