|
|
</p><p><span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> is:
|
|
</p><ul class="itemize"><li class="li-itemize">
|
|
Cross-platform: <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> runs under Microsoft Windows and Unix derived systems such as Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD.</li><li class="li-itemize">Distributed: You can run <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> 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.</li><li class="li-itemize">Fault-tolerant: You can deploy an <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> 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’.</li><li class="li-itemize">Administrator Friendly: <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> 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">
|
|
Comprehensive documentation.
|
|
</li><li class="li-itemize">Straightforward installers for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. </li><li class="li-itemize">Web Administration.
|
|
</li><li class="li-itemize">Shared Roster Groups.
|
|
</li><li class="li-itemize">Command line administration tool. </li><li class="li-itemize">Can integrate with existing authentication mechanisms.
|
|
</li><li class="li-itemize">Capability to send announce messages.
|
|
</li></ul></li><li class="li-itemize">Internationalized: <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> leads in internationalization. Hence it is very well suited in a globalized world. Related features are:
|
|
<ul class="itemize"><li class="li-itemize">
|
|
Translated to 25 languages. </li><li class="li-itemize">Support for <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3490.txt">IDNA</a>.

</li></ul></li><li class="li-itemize">Open Standards: <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> is the first Open Source Jabber server claiming to fully comply to the XMPP standard.

<h2 id="sec6" class="section">2.1  <a href="#install.binary">Installing <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> with Binary Installer</a></h2><!--SEC END --><p> <a id="install.binary"></a> </p><p>Probably the easiest way to install an <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> instant messaging server
|
|
is using the binary installer published by ProcessOne.
|
|
The binary installers of released <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> versions
|
|
are available in the ProcessOne <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> downloads page:
|
|
<a href="http://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/downloads"><span style="font-family:monospace">http://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/downloads</span></a></p><p>The installer will deploy and configure a full featured <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span>
|
|
server and does not require any extra dependencies.</p><p>In *nix systems, remember to set executable the binary installer before starting it. For example:
|
|
</p><pre class="verbatim">chmod +x ejabberd-2.0.0_1-linux-x86-installer.bin
|
|
./ejabberd-2.0.0_1-linux-x86-installer.bin
|
|
</pre><p><span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> can be started manually at any time,
|
|
or automatically by the operating system at system boot time.</p><p>To start and stop <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> 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 <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> is installed.</p><p>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.</p><p>On a *nix system, if you want ejabberd to be started as daemon at boot time,
|
|
copy <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd.init</span> from the ’bin’ directory to something like <span style="font-family:monospace">/etc/init.d/ejabberd</span>
|
|
(depending on your distribution).
|
|
Create a system user called <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span>,
|
|
give it write access to the directories <span style="font-family:monospace">database/</span> and <span style="font-family:monospace">logs/</span>, and set that as home;
|
|
the script will start the server with that user.
|
|
Then you can call <span style="font-family:monospace">/etc/inid.d/ejabberd start</span> as root to start the server.</p><p>When ejabberd is started, the processes that are started in the system
|
|
are <span style="font-family:monospace">beam</span> or <span style="font-family:monospace">beam.smp</span>, and also <span style="font-family:monospace">epmd</span>.
|
|
In Microsoft Windows, the processes are <span style="font-family:monospace">erl.exe</span> and <span style="font-family:monospace">epmd.exe</span>.
|
|
For more information regarding <span style="font-family:monospace">epmd</span> consult the section <a href="#epmd">5.2</a>.</p><p>If <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> 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
|
|
<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/">www.microsoft.com</a>.
|
|
Then uninstall <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> and install it again.</p><p>If <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> doesn’t start correctly and a crash dump is generated,
|
|
there was a severe problem.
|
|
You can try starting <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> with
|
|
the script <span style="font-family:monospace">bin/live.bat</span> in Windows,
|
|
or with the command <span style="font-family:monospace">bin/ejabberdctl live</span> in other Operating Systems.
|
|
This way you see the error message provided by Erlang
|
|
and can identify what is exactly the problem.</p><p>The <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberdctl</span> administration script is included in the <span style="font-family:monospace">bin</span> directory.
|
|
Please refer to the section <a href="#ejabberdctl">4.1</a> for details about <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberdctl</span>,
|
|
and configurable options to fine tune the Erlang runtime system.</p><p> <a id="install.os"></a> </p>

(Comprehensive Erlang Archive Network) is a repository that hosts binary

packages from many Erlang programs, including <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> and all its dependencies.
|
|
The binaries are available for many different system architectures, so this is an

alternative to the binary installer and Operating System’s <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> packages.</p><p>You will have to create your own <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> start

script depending of how you handle your CEAN installation.

The default <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberdctl</span> script is located

|

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
|

</pre><p>Though it is quite easy to set up PAM support in <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span>, PAM itself introduces some
|
|
security issues:</p><ul class="itemize"><li class="li-itemize">
|
|
To perform PAM authentication <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> uses external C-program called
|
|
<span style="font-family:monospace">epam</span>. By default, it is located in <code>/var/lib/ejabberd/priv/bin/</code>
|
|
directory. You have to set it root on execution in the case when your PAM module
|
|
requires root privileges (<span style="font-family:monospace">pam_unix.so</span> for example). Also you have to grant access
|
|
for <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> to this file and remove all other permissions from it.
|
|
Execute with root privileges:
|
|
<pre class="verbatim">chown root:ejabberd /var/lib/ejabberd/priv/bin/epam
|
|
chmod 4750 /var/lib/ejabberd/priv/bin/epam
|
|
</pre></li><li class="li-itemize">Make sure you have the latest version of PAM installed on your system.
|
|
Some old versions of PAM modules cause memory leaks. If you are not able to use the latest
|
|
version, you can <span style="font-family:monospace">kill(1)</span> <span style="font-family:monospace">epam</span> process periodically to reduce its memory
|
|
consumption: <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> will restart this process immediately.
|
|
</li><li class="li-itemize"><span style="font-family:monospace">epam</span> program tries to turn off delays on authentication failures.
|
|
However, some PAM modules ignore this behavior and rely on their own configuration options.
|
|
You can create a configuration file <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd.pam</span>.
|
|
This example shows how to turn off delays in <span style="font-family:monospace">pam_unix.so</span> module:
|
|
<pre class="verbatim">#%PAM-1.0
|
|
auth sufficient pam_unix.so likeauth nullok nodelay
|
|
account sufficient pam_unix.so
|
|
</pre>That 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
|
|
to this file, so a malicious user can’t use your configuration to perform brute-force
|
|
attacks.
|
|
</li><li class="li-itemize">You may want to allow login access only for certain users. <span style="font-family:monospace">pam_listfile.so</span>
|
|
module provides such functionality.
|
|
</li><li class="li-itemize">If you use <span style="font-family:monospace">pam_winbind</span> to authorise against a Windows Active Directory,
|
|
then <span style="font-family:monospace">/etc/nsswitch.conf</span> must be configured to use <span style="font-family:monospace">winbind</span> as well.

</p><p>Some <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> modules can be configured to require a CAPTCHA challenge on certain actions.
|
|
If the client does not support CAPTCHA Forms (<a href="http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0158.html">XEP-0158</a>),
|
|
a web link is provided so the user can fill the challenge in a web browser.</p><p>An example script is provided that generates the image
|
|
using ImageMagick’s Convert program.</p><p>The configurable options are:
|
|
</p><dl class="description"><dt class="dt-description">
|
|
<span style="font-weight:bold"><span style="font-family:monospace">captcha_cmd: Path</span></span></dt><dd class="dd-description">
|
|
Full path to a script that generates the image.
|
|
The default value disables the feature: <span style="font-family:monospace">undefined</span>
|
|
</dd><dt class="dt-description"><span style="font-weight:bold"><span style="font-family:monospace">captcha_host: ProtocolHostPort</span></span></dt><dd class="dd-description">
|
|
ProtocolHostPort is a string with the host, and optionally the Protocol and Port number.
|
|
It must identify where ejabberd listens for CAPTCHA requests.
|
|
The URL sent to the user is formed by: <span style="font-family:monospace">Protocol://Host:Port/captcha/</span>
|
|
The default value is: protocol <span style="font-family:monospace">http</span>, the first hostname configured, and port <span style="font-family:monospace">80</span>.
|
|
If you specify a port number that does not match exactly an ejabberd listener
|
|
(because you are using a reverse proxy or other port-forwarding tool),
|
|
then you must specify the transfer protocol, as seen in the example below.
|
|
</dd></dl><p>Additionally, an <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd_http</span> listener must be enabled with the <span style="font-family:monospace">captcha</span> option.

different virtual hosts on different ports if you have different certificate files for them.</p><p>Next you need to configure DNS SIP records for your virtual domains.
|
|
Refer to <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3263">RFC 3263</a> for the detailed explanation.

Simply put, you should add NAPTR and SRV records for your domains.

Skip NAPTR configuration if your DNS provider doesn’t support this type of records.

It’s not fatal, however, highly recommended.</p><p>Example configuration of NAPTR records:

</p><p>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.
|
|
A shared roster group can have members from any XMPP server,

centralized, but distributed between member objects

</li><li class="li-itemize">inefficiency – the list of unique group names has to be computed by iterating over all users

</p><p>The user’s client can store an avatar in the user vCard.
|
|
The vCard-Based Avatars protocol (<a href="http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0153.html">XEP-0153</a>)
|
|
provides a method for clients to inform the contacts what is the avatar hash value.
|
|
However, simple or small clients may not implement that protocol.</p><p>If this module is enabled, all the outgoing client presence stanzas get automatically
|
|
the avatar hash on behalf of the client.
|
|
So, the contacts receive the presence stanzas with the Update Data described
|
|
in <a href="http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0153.html">XEP-0153</a> as if the client would had inserted it itself.
|
|
If the client had already included such element in the presence stanza,
|
|
it is replaced with the element generated by ejabberd.</p><p>By enabling this module, each vCard modification produces a hash recalculation,
|
|
and each presence sent by a client produces hash retrieval and a
|
|
presence stanza rewrite.
|
|
For this reason, enabling this module will introduce a computational overhead
|
|
in servers with clients that change frequently their presence.</p><p>Options:

and the <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd_xmlrpc</span> listener (<a href="#listened-module">3.1.4</a>).

Being distributed, Mnesia enforces consistency of its file,

so it stores the name of the Erlang node in it (see section <a href="#nodename">5.4</a>).
|
|
The name of an Erlang node includes the hostname of the computer.

So, the name of the Erlang node changes

put the old node name in <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberdctl.cfg</span>,

or convert the database to the new node name.</p><p>Those example steps will backup, convert and load the Mnesia database.
|
|
You need to have either the old Mnesia spool dir or a backup of Mnesia.
|
|
If you already have a backup file of the old database, you can go directly to step 5.
|
|
You also need to know the old node name and the new node name.

and connects to the Erlang node that holds <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span>.
|
|
In order for this communication to work,
|
|
<span style="font-family:monospace">epmd</span> must be running and listening for name requests in the port 4369.
|
|
You should block the port 4369 in the firewall in such a way that
|
|
only the programs in your machine can access it.
|
|
or configure the option <span style="font-family:monospace">ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS</span> in the file <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberdctl.cfg</span>.</p><p>If you build a cluster of several <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> instances,
|
|
each <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> instance is called an <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> node.
|
|
Those <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> nodes use a special Erlang communication method to
|
|
build the cluster, and EPMD is again needed listening in the port 4369.
|
|
So, if you plan to build a cluster of <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> nodes
|
|
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.</p><p>Once an Erlang node solved the node name of another Erlang node using EPMD and port 4369,
|
|
the nodes communicate directly.
|
|
The ports used in this case by default are random,
|
|
but can be configured in the file <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberdctl.cfg</span>.
|
|
The Erlang command-line parameter used internally is, for example:
|
|
</p><pre class="verbatim">erl ... -kernel inet_dist_listen_min 4370 inet_dist_listen_max 4375
|
|
</pre><p>It is also possible to configure in <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberdctl.cfg</span>
|
|
the network interface where the Erlang node will listen and accept connections.
|
|
The Erlang command-line parameter used internally is, for example:
|
|
</p><pre class="verbatim">erl ... -kernel inet_dist_use_interface "{127,0,0,1}"

An Erlang node reads the cookie at startup from the command-line parameter <span style="font-family:monospace">-setcookie</span>.

If not indicated, the cookie is read from the cookie file <span style="font-family:monospace">$HOME/.erlang.cookie</span>.
|
|
If this file does not exist, it is created immediately with a random cookie.
|
|
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
|
|
and define which nodes are allowed to connect to which.</p><p>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.</p><p>Setting a secret cookie is a simple method
|
|
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.

</p><p>Suppose you already configured <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> on one machine named (<span style="font-family:monospace">first</span>),
|
|
and you need to setup another one to make an <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> cluster. Then do
|
|
following steps:</p><ol class="enumerate" type=1><li class="li-enumerate">
|
|
Copy <code>~ejabberd/.erlang.cookie</code> file from <span style="font-family:monospace">first</span> to
|
|
<span style="font-family:monospace">second</span>.<p>(alt) You can also add ‘<code>-setcookie content_of_.erlang.cookie</code>’
|
|
option to all ‘<span style="font-family:monospace">erl</span>’ commands below.</p></li><li class="li-enumerate">On <span style="font-family:monospace">second</span> run the following command as the <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> daemon user,
|
|
in the working directory of <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span>:<pre class="verbatim">erl -sname ejabberd \
|
|
-mnesia dir '"/var/lib/ejabberd/"' \
|
|
-mnesia extra_db_nodes "['ejabberd@first']" \
|
|
-s mnesia
|
|
</pre><p>This will start Mnesia serving the same database as <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd@first</span>.
|
|
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:</p><p>Note: the Mnesia directory may be different in your system.
|
|
To know where does ejabberd expect Mnesia to be installed by default,
|
|
call <a href="#ejabberdctl">4.1</a> without options and it will show some help,
|
|
including the Mnesia database spool dir.</p><pre class="verbatim">running db nodes = [ejabberd@first, ejabberd@second]
|

</pre><p>This will create local disc storage for the database.</p><p>(alt) Change storage type of the <span style="font-family:monospace">scheme</span> table to ‘RAM and disc
|
|
copy’ on the second node via the Web Admin.</p></li><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>’).<p>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’.</p><p>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.</p><p>Also <a href="http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/mnesia/Mnesia_chap5.html#5.3">section 5.3 (Table Fragmentation) of Mnesia User’s Guide</a> can be helpful.

</p><p>(alt) Same as in previous item, but for other tables.</p></li><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 <span style="font-family:monospace">first</span>.</li><li class="li-enumerate">Now run <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> on <span style="font-family:monospace">second</span> with a configuration similar as

on <span style="font-family:monospace">first</span>: you probably do not need to duplicate ‘<code>acl</code>’
|
|
and ‘<code>access</code>’ options because they will be taken from
|
|
<span style="font-family:monospace">first</span>; and <code>mod_irc</code> should be

enabled only on one machine in the cluster.

|
|
</p><p>The source code of <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span> supports localization.
|
|
The translators can edit the
|
|
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/">gettext</a> .po files
|
|
using any capable program (KBabel, Lokalize, Poedit...) or a simple text editor.</p><p>Then gettext
|
|
is used to extract, update and export those .po files to the .msg format read by <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span>.
|
|
To perform those management tasks, in the <span style="font-family:monospace">src/</span> directory execute <span style="font-family:monospace">make translations</span>.
|
|
The translatable strings are extracted from source code to generate the file <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd.pot</span>.
|
|
This file is merged with each .po file to produce updated .po files.
|
|
Finally those .po files are exported to .msg files, that have a format easily readable by <span style="font-family:monospace">ejabberd</span>.</p><p>All built-in modules support the <span style="font-family:monospace">xml:lang</span> attribute inside IQ queries.
|
|
Figure <a href="#fig%3Adiscorus">A.1</a>, for example, shows the reply to the following query:
|
|
</p><pre class="verbatim"><iq id='5'
|
|
