|
\makesection{install.binary}{Installing \ejabberd{} with Binary Installer}
|
|
|
|
Probably the easiest way to install an \ejabberd{} instant messaging server
|
|
is using the binary installer published by ProcessOne.
|
|
The binary installers of released \ejabberd{} versions
|
|
are available in the ProcessOne \ejabberd{} downloads page:
|
|
\ahrefurl{http://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/downloads}
|
|
|
|
The installer will deploy and configure a full featured \ejabberd{}
|
|
server and does not require any extra dependencies.
|
|
|
|
In *nix systems, remember to set executable the binary installer before starting it. 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) and call \term{/etc/inid.d/ejabberd start} to start it.
|
|
|
|
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. Some examples are Debian and Gentoo. Consult the
|
|
resources provided by your Operating System for more information.
|
|
|
|
Usually those packages create a script like \term{/etc/init.d/ejabberd}
|
|
to start and stop \ejabberd{} as a service at boot time.
|
|
|
|
\makesection{install.cean}{Installing \ejabberd{} with CEAN}
|
|
|
|
\footahref{http://cean.process-one.net/}{CEAN}
|
|
(Comprehensive Erlang Archive Network) is a repository that hosts binary
|
|
packages from many Erlang programs, including \ejabberd{} 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 \ejabberd{} packages.
|
|
|
|
You will have to create your own \ejabberd{} start
|
|
script depending of how you handle your CEAN installation.
|
|
The default \term{ejabberdctl} script is located
|
|
into \ejabberd{}'s priv directory and can be used as an example.
|
|
|
|
\makesection{installation}{Installing \ejabberd{} from Source Code}
|
|
\ind{install}
|
|
|
|
The canonical form for distribution of \ejabberd{} stable releases is the source code package.
|
|
Compiling \ejabberd{} from source code is quite easy in *nix systems,
|
|
as long as your system have all the dependencies.
|
|
|
|
\makesubsection{installreq}{Requirements}
|
|
\ind{installation!requirements}
|
|
|
|
To compile \ejabberd{} on a `Unix-like' operating system, you need:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item GNU Make
|
|
\item GCC
|
|
\item Libexpat 1.95 or higher
|
|
\item Erlang/OTP R10B-9 or higher.
|
|
\item OpenSSL 0.9.6 or higher, for STARTTLS, SASL and SSL encryption. Optional, highly recommended.
|
|
\item Zlib 1.2.3 or higher, for Stream Compression support (\xepref{0138}). Optional.

|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
\makesubsection{download}{Download Source Code}
|
|
\ind{install!download}
|
|
|
|
Released versions of \ejabberd{} are available in the ProcessOne \ejabberd{} downloads page:
|
|
\ahrefurl{http://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/downloads}
|
|
|
|
\ind{Subversion repository}
|
|
Alternatively, the latest development version can be retrieved from the Subversion repository using this command:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
svn co http://svn.process-one.net/ejabberd/trunk ejabberd
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
|
|
\makesubsection{compile}{Compile}
|
|
\ind{install!compile}
|
|
|
|
To compile \ejabberd{} execute the commands:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
The build configuration script allows several options.
|
|
To get the full list run the command:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
./configure --help
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
Some options that you may be interested in modifying:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\titem{--prefix=/}
|
|
Specify the path prefix where the files will be copied when running
|
|
the \term{make install} command.
|
|
|
|
\titem{--enable-user[=USER]}
|
|
Allow this normal system user to execute the ejabberdctl script
|
|
(see section~\ref{ejabberdctl}),
|
|
read the configuration files,
|
|
read and write in the spool directory,
|
|
read and write in the log directory.
|
|
The account user and group must exist in the machine
|
|
before running \term{make install}.
|
|
This account doesn't need an explicit HOME directory, because
|
|
\term{/var/lib/ejabberd/} will be used by default.
|
|
|
|
\titem{--enable-pam}
|
|
Enable the PAM authentication method (see section \ref{pam}).
|
|
|
|
\titem{--enable-odbc or --enable-mssql}
|
|
Required if you want to use an external database.
|
|
See section~\ref{database} for more information.
|
|
|
|
\titem{--enable-full-xml}
|
|
Enable the use of XML based optimisations.
|
|
It will for example use CDATA to escape characters in the XMPP stream.
|
|
Use this option only if you are sure your Jabber clients include a fully compliant XML parser.
|
|
|
|
\titem{--disable-transient-supervisors}
|
|
Disable the use of Erlang/OTP supervision for transient processes.
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
|
|
\makesubsection{install}{Install}
|
|
\ind{install!install}
|
|
|
|
To install \ejabberd{} in the destination directories, run the command:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
make install
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
Note that you probably need administrative privileges in the system
|
|
to install \term{ejabberd}.
|
|
|
|
The files and directories created are, by default:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\titem{/etc/ejabberd/} Configuration directory:
|
|
\begin{description}

\makesubsection{start}{Start}
|
|
\ind{install!start}
|
|
|
|
You can use the \term{ejabberdctl} command line administration script to start and stop \ejabberd{}.
|
|
If you provided the configure option \term{--enable-user=USER} (see \ref{compile}),
|
|
you can execute \term{ejabberdctl} with either that system account or root.
|
|
|
|
Usage example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
ejabberdctl start
|
|
|
|
ejabberdctl status
|
|
The node ejabberd@localhost is started with status: started
|
|
ejabberd is running in that node
|
|
|
|
ejabberdctl stop
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
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

but it isn't included in Solaris.
|
|
It can be easily installed if your Solaris system
|
|
is set up for \footahref{http://www.blastwave.org/}{blastwave.org}
|
|

\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
If that program is called \term{ginstall},
|
|
modify the \ejabberd{} \term{Makefile} script to suit your system,
|
|
for example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
cat Makefile | sed s/install/ginstall/ > Makefile.gi
|

\makesubsubsection{windowscom}{Compilation}
|
|
|
|
We assume that we will try to put as much library as possible into \verb|C:\sdk\| to make it easier to track what is install for \ejabberd{}.
|
|
|
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
\item Install Erlang emulator (for example, into \verb|C:\sdk\erl5.5.5|).
|
|
\item Install Expat library into \verb|C:\sdk\Expat-2.0.0|
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
Copy file \verb|C:\sdk\Expat-2.0.0\Libs\libexpat.dll|
|
|
to your Windows system directory (for example, \verb|C:\WINNT| or
|
|
\verb|C:\WINNT\System32|)
|
|
\item Build and install the Iconv library into the directory
|
|
\verb|C:\sdk\GnuWin32|.
|
|
|
|
Copy file \verb|C:\sdk\GnuWin32\bin\lib*.dll| to your
|
|
Windows system directory (more installation instructions can be found in the
|
|
file README.woe32 in the iconv distribution).
|
|
|
|
Note: instead of copying libexpat.dll and iconv.dll to the Windows
|
|
directory, you can add the directories
|
|
\verb|C:\sdk\Expat-2.0.0\Libs| and
|
|
\verb|C:\sdk\GnuWin32\bin| to the \verb|PATH| environment
|
|
variable.
|
|
\item Install OpenSSL in \verb|C:\sdk\OpenSSL| and add \verb|C:\sdk\OpenSSL\lib\VC| to your path or copy the binaries to your system directory.
|
|
\item Install ZLib in \verb|C:\sdk\gnuWin32|. Copy
|
|
\verb|C:\sdk\GnuWin32\bin\zlib1.dll| to your system directory. If you change your path it should already be set after libiconv install.
|
|
\item Make sure the you can access Erlang binaries from your path. For example: \verb|set PATH=%PATH%;"C:\sdk\erl5.6.5\bin"|
|
|
\item Depending on how you end up actually installing the library you might need to check and tweak the paths in the file configure.erl.
|
|
\item While in the directory \verb|ejabberd\src| run:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
configure.bat
|
|
nmake -f Makefile.win32
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\item Edit the file \verb|ejabberd\src\ejabberd.cfg| and run
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
werl -s ejabberd -name ejabberd
|
|
\end{verbatim}

\makesection{initialadmin}{Create a Jabber Account for Administration}
|
|
|
|
You need a Jabber account and grant him administrative privileges
|
|
to enter the \ejabberd{} Web Admin:
|
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
\item Register a Jabber account on your \ejabberd{} server, for example \term{admin1@example.org}.
|
|
There are two ways to register a Jabber account:
|
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
\item Using \term{ejabberdctl}\ind{ejabberdctl} (see section~\ref{ejabberdctl}):
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
ejabberdctl register admin1 example.org FgT5bk3
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\item Using a Jabber client and In-Band Registration (see section~\ref{modregister}).
|
|
\end{enumerate}
|
|
\item Edit the \ejabberd{} configuration file to give administration rights to the Jabber account you created:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{acl, admins, {user, "admin1", "example.org"}}.
|
|
{access, configure, [{allow, admins}]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
You can grant administrative privileges to many Jabber accounts,
|
|
and also to accounts in other Jabber servers.
|
|
\item Restart \ejabberd{} to load the new configuration.
|
|
\item Open the Web Admin (\verb|http://server:port/admin/|) in your
|
|
favourite browser. Make sure to enter the \emph{full} JID as username (in this
|
|
example: \jid{admin1@example.org}. The reason that you also need to enter the
|
|
suffix, is because \ejabberd{}'s virtual hosting support.
|
|
\end{enumerate}
|
|
|
|
\makesection{upgrade}{Upgrading \ejabberd{}}
|
|
|
|
To upgrade an ejabberd installation to a new version,
|
|
simply uninstall the old version, and then install the new one.
|
|
Of course, it is important that the configuration file
|
|
and Mnesia database spool directory are not removed.
|
|
|
|
\ejabberd{} automatically updates the Mnesia table definitions at startup when needed.
|
|
If you also use an external database for storage of some modules,
|
|
check if the release notes of the new ejabberd version
|
|
indicates you need to also update those tables.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\makechapter{configure}{Configuring \ejabberd{}}
|
|
\ind{configuration file}
|
|
|
|
\makesection{basicconfig}{Basic Configuration}
|
|
|
|
The configuration file will be loaded the first time you start \ejabberd{}. The
|
|
content from this file will be parsed and stored in the internal \ejabberd{} database. Subsequently the
|
|
configuration will be loaded from the database and any commands in the
|
|
configuration file are appended to the entries in the database.
|
|
|
|
Note that \ejabberd{} never edits the configuration file.
|
|
So, the configuration changes done using the Web Admin
|
|
are stored in the database, but are not reflected in the configuration file.
|
|
If you want those changes to be use after \ejabberd{} restart, you can either
|
|
edit the configuration file, or remove all its content.
|
|
|
|
The configuration file contains a sequence of Erlang terms. Lines beginning with a
|
|
\term{`\%'} 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
|
|
host name(s) stored in the database will be used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can override the old values stored in the database by adding next lines to
|
|
the configuration file:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
override_global.
|
|
override_local.
|
|
override_acls.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
With these lines the old global options (shared between all \ejabberd{} nodes in a
|
|
cluster), local options (which are specific for this particular \ejabberd{} node)
|
|
and ACLs will be removed before new ones are added.
|
|
|
|
\makesubsection{hostnames}{Host Names}
|
|
\ind{options!hosts}\ind{host names}
|
|
|
|
The option \option{hosts} defines a list containing one or more domains that
|
|
\ejabberd{} will serve.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Serving one domain:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{hosts, ["example.org"]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\item Serving one domain, and backwards compatible with older \ejabberd{}
|
|
versions:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{host, "example.org"}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\item Serving two domains:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{hosts, ["example.net", "example.com"]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
\makesubsection{virtualhost}{Virtual Hosting}
|
|
\ind{virtual hosting}\ind{virtual hosts}\ind{virtual domains}
|
|
|
|
Options can be defined separately for every virtual host using the
|
|
\term{host\_config} option.\ind{options!host\_config} It has the following
|
|
syntax:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{host_config, <hostname>, [<option>, <option>, ...]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Domain \jid{example.net} is using the internal authentication method while
|
|
domain \jid{example.com} is using the \ind{LDAP}LDAP server running on the
|
|
domain \jid{localhost} to perform authentication:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{host_config, "example.net", [{auth_method, internal}]}.
|
|
|
|
{host_config, "example.com", [{auth_method, ldap},
|
|
{ldap_servers, ["localhost"]},
|
|
{ldap_uids, [{"uid"}]},
|
|
{ldap_rootdn, "dc=localdomain"},
|
|
{ldap_rootdn, "dc=example,dc=com"},
|
|
{ldap_password, ""}]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\item Domain \jid{example.net} is using \ind{ODBC}ODBC to perform authentication
|
|
while domain \jid{example.com} is using the LDAP servers running on the domains
|
|
\jid{localhost} and \jid{otherhost}:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{host_config, "example.net", [{auth_method, odbc},
|
|
{odbc_server, "DSN=ejabberd;UID=ejabberd;PWD=ejabberd"}]}.
|
|
|
|
{host_config, "example.com", [{auth_method, ldap},
|
|
{ldap_servers, ["localhost", "otherhost"]},
|
|
{ldap_uids, [{"uid"}]},
|
|
{ldap_rootdn, "dc=localdomain"},
|
|
{ldap_rootdn, "dc=example,dc=com"},
|
|
{ldap_password, ""}]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
To define specific ejabberd modules in a virtual host,
|
|
you can define the global \term{modules} option with the common modules,
|
|
and later add specific modules to certain virtual hosts.
|
|
To accomplish that, instead of defining each option in \term{host\_config} with the syntax
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{<option-name>, <option-value>}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
use this syntax:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{{add, <option-name>}, <option-value>}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
In this example three virtual hosts have some similar modules, but there are also
|
|
other different modules for some specific virtual hosts:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
%% This ejabberd server has three vhosts:
|
|
{hosts, ["one.example.org", "two.example.org", "three.example.org"]}.
|
|
|
|
%% Configuration of modules that are common to all vhosts
|
|
{modules,
|
|
[
|
|
{mod_roster, []},
|
|
{mod_configure, []},
|
|
{mod_disco, []},
|
|
{mod_private, []},
|
|
{mod_time, []},
|
|
{mod_last, []},
|
|
{mod_version, []}
|
|
]}.
|
|
|
|
%% Add some modules to vhost one:
|
|
{host_config, "one.example.org",
|
|
[{{add, modules}, [
|
|
{mod_echo, [{host, "echo-service.one.example.org"}]}
|
|
{mod_http_bind, []},
|
|
{mod_logxml, []}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
]}.
|
|
|
|
%% Add a module just to vhost two:
|
|
{host_config, "two.example.org",
|
|
[{{add, modules}, [
|
|
{mod_echo, [{host, "mirror.two.example.org"}]}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\makesubsection{listened}{Listening Ports}
|
|
\ind{options!listen}
|
|
|
|
The option \option{listen} defines for which addresses and ports \ejabberd{}
|
|
will listen and what services will be run on them. Each element of the list is a
|
|
tuple with the following elements:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Port number. Optionally also the IP address.
|
|
\item Listening module that serves this port.
|
|
\item Options for the TCP socket and for the listening module.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
With the basic syntax the ports will listen on all IPv4 network addresses:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{listen, [
|
|
{<port-number>, <module>, [<options>]},
|
|
{<port-number>, <module>, [<options>]},
|
|
...
|
|
{<port-number>, <module>, [<options>]}
|
|
]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
It is possible to specify the IP address for a port using the full syntax:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{{<port-number>, <ip-address>}, <module>, [<options>]}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
|
|
\makesubsubsection{listened-port}{Port Number and IP Address}
|
|
|
|
The port number defines which port to listen for incoming connections.
|
|
It can be a Jabber/XMPP standard port
|
|
(see section \ref{firewall}) or any other valid port number.
|
|
|
|
The IP address can be represented with a string
|
|
or an Erlang tuple with decimal or hexadecimal numbers.
|
|
The socket will listen only in that network interface.
|
|
It is possible to specify a generic address,
|
|
so \ejabberd{} will listen in all addresses.
|
|
Depending in the type of the IP address, IPv4 or IPv6 will be used.
|
|
|
|
Some example values for IP address:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \verb|"0.0.0.0"| to listen in all IPv4 network interfaces. This is the default value when no IP is specified.
|
|
\item \verb|"::"| to listen in all IPv6 network interfaces
|
|
\item \verb|"10.11.12.13"| is the IPv4 address \verb|10.11.12.13|
|
|
\item \verb|"::FFFF:127.0.0.1"| is the IPv6 address \verb|::FFFF:127.0.0.1/128|
|
|
\item \verb|{10, 11, 12, 13}| is the IPv4 address \verb|10.11.12.13|
|
|
\item \verb|{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 65535, 32512, 1}| is the IPv6 address \verb|::FFFF:127.0.0.1/128|
|
|
\item \verb|{16#fdca, 16#8ab6, 16#a243, 16#75ef, 0, 0, 0, 1}| is the IPv6 address \verb|FDCA:8AB6:A243:75EF::1/128|

|
|
|
\makesubsubsection{listened-options}{Options}
|
|
|
|
This is a detailed description of each option allowed by the listening modules:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\titem{\{access, <access rule>\}} \ind{options!access}This option defines
|
|
access to the port. The default value is \term{all}.
|
|
\titem{\{certfile, Path\}} Full path to a file containing the default SSL certificate.
|
|
To define a certificate file specific for a given domain, use the global option \term{domain\_certfile}.
|
|
\titem{service\_check\_from} \ind{options!service\_check\_from}
|
|
This option can be used with \term{ejabberd\_service} only. It is
|
|
used to disable control on the from field on packets send by an
|
|
external components. The option can be either \term{true} or
|
|
\term{false}. The default value is \term{true} which conforms to \xepref{0114}.
|
|
\titem{\{hosts, [Hostnames], [HostOptions]\}} \ind{options!hosts}
|
|
The external Jabber component that connects to this \term{ejabberd\_service}
|
|
can serve one or more hostnames.
|
|
In \term{HostOptions} you can define options for the component;
|
|
currently the only allowed option is the password required to the component
|
|
when attempt to connect to ejabberd: \poption{\{password, Secret\}}.
|
|
Note that you cannot define in a single \term{ejabberd\_service} components of
|
|
different services: add an \term{ejabberd\_service} for each service,
|
|
as seen in an example below.
|
|
\titem{http\_bind} \ind{options!http\_bind}\ind{protocols!XEP-0206: HTTP Binding}\ind{JWChat}\ind{web-based Jabber client}
|
|
This option enables HTTP Binding (\xepref{0124} and \xepref{0206}) support. HTTP Bind
|
|
enables access via HTTP requests to \ejabberd{} from behind firewalls which
|
|
do not allow outgoing sockets on port 5222.
|
|
|
|
Remember that you must also install and enable the module mod\_http\_bind.
|
|
|
|
If HTTP Bind is enabled, it will be available at
|
|
\verb|http://server:port/http-bind/|. 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
|
|
\footahref{http://jwchat.sourceforge.net/}{JWChat}
|
|
(check the tutorials to install JWChat with ejabberd and an
|
|
\footahref{http://www.ejabberd.im/jwchat-localserver}{embedded local web server}
|
|
or \footahref{http://www.ejabberd.im/jwchat-apache}{Apache}).
|
|
\titem{http\_poll} \ind{options!http\_poll}\ind{protocols!XEP-0025: HTTP Polling}\ind{JWChat}\ind{web-based Jabber client}
|
|
This option enables HTTP Polling (\xepref{0025}) support. HTTP Polling
|
|
enables access via HTTP requests to \ejabberd{} from behind firewalls which
|
|
do not allow outgoing sockets on port 5222.
|
|
|
|
If HTTP Polling is enabled, it will be available at
|
|
\verb|http://server:port/http-poll/|. 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
|
|
\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.cfg}, expressing the time
|
|
in seconds: \verb|{http_poll_timeout, 300}.|
|
|
|
|
\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 readed
|
|
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 list of strings; 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: \term{\{request\_handlers, [\{["a", "b"], mod\_foo\}, \{["http-bind"], mod\_http\_bind\}]\}}
|
|
\titem{\{service\_check\_from, true|false\}}
|
|
By enabling this option, \ejabberd{} allows the component to send packets with any arbitrary domain in the 'from' attribute.
|
|
Note that \xepref{0114} 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.
|
|
\titem{\{shaper, <access rule>\}} \ind{options!shaper}This option defines a
|
|
shaper for the port (see section~\ref{shapers}). The default value
|
|
is \term{none}.
|
|
\titem{starttls} \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} \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{tls} \ind{options!tls}\ind{TLS}This option specifies that traffic on
|
|
the port will be encrypted using SSL immediately after connecting. You
|
|
should also set the \option{certfile} option.
|
|
\titem{web\_admin} \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/|. Login and password are the username and
|
|
password of one of the registered users who are granted access by the
|
|
`configure' access rule.
|
|
\titem{zlib} \ind{options!zlib}\ind{protocols!XEP-0138: Stream Compression}\ind{Zlib}This
|
|
option specifies that Zlib stream compression (as defined in \xepref{0138})
|
|
is available on connections to the port. Client connections cannot use
|
|
stream compression and stream encryption simultaneously. Hence, if you
|
|
specify both \option{tls} (or \option{ssl}) and \option{zlib}, the latter
|
|
option will not affect connections (there will be no stream compression).
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
There are some additional global options that can be specified in the ejabberd configuration file (outside \term{listen}):
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\titem{\{s2s\_use\_starttls, true|false\}}
|
|
\ind{options!s2s\_use\_starttls}\ind{STARTTLS}This option defines whether to
|
|
use STARTTLS for s2s connections.
|
|
\titem{\{s2s\_certfile, Path\}} \ind{options!s2s\_certificate}Full path to a
|
|
file containing a SSL certificate.
|
|
\titem{\{domain\_certfile, Domain, Path\}} \ind{options!domain\_certfile}
|
|
Full path to the file containing the SSL certificate for a specific domain.
|
|
\titem{\{outgoing\_s2s\_options, Methods, Timeout\}} \ind{options!outgoing\_s2s\_options}
|
|
Specify which address families to try, in what order, and connect timeout in milliseconds.
|
|
By default it first tries connecting with IPv4, if that fails it tries using IPv6,
|
|
with a timeout of 10000 milliseconds.
|
|
\titem{\{s2s\_default\_policy, allow|deny\}}
|
|
The default policy for incoming and outgoing s2s connections to other Jabber servers.
|
|
The default value is \term{allow}.
|
|
\titem{\{\{s2s\_host, Host\}, allow|deny\}}
|
|
Defines if incoming and outgoing s2s connections with a specific remote host are allowed or denied.
|
|
This allows to restrict ejabberd to only establish s2s connections
|
|
with a small list of trusted servers, or to block some specific servers.
|
|
\titem{\{s2s\_max\_retry\_delay, Seconds\}} \ind{options!s2s\_max\_retry\_delay}
|
|
The maximum allowed delay for retry to connect after a failed connection attempt.
|
|
Specified in seconds. The default value is 300 seconds (5 minutes).
|
|
\end{description}

\makesubsubsection{listened-examples}{Examples}
|
|
|
|
For example, the following simple configuration defines:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item There are three domains. The default certificate file is \term{server.pem}.
|
|
However, the c2s and s2s connections to the domain \term{example.com} use the file \term{example\_com.pem}.
|
|
\item Port 5222 listens for c2s connections with STARTTLS,
|
|
and also allows plain connections for old clients.
|
|
\item Port 5223 listens for c2s connections with the old SSL.
|
|
\item Port 5269 listens for s2s connections with STARTTLS. The socket is set for IPv6 instead of IPv4.
|
|
\item Port 5280 listens for HTTP requests, and serves the HTTP Poll service.
|
|
\item Port 5281 listens for HTTP requests, and serves the Web Admin using HTTPS as explained in
|
|
section~\ref{webadmin}. The socket only listens connections to the IP address 127.0.0.1.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|

In this example, the following configuration defines that:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item c2s connections are listened for on port 5222 (all IPv4 addresses) and
|
|
on port 5223 (SSL, IP 192.168.0.1 and fdca:8ab6:a243:75ef::1) and denied
|
|
for the user called `\term{bad}'.
|
|
\item s2s connections are listened for on port 5269 (all IPv4 addresses)
|
|
with STARTTLS for secured traffic enabled.
|
|
Incoming and outgoing connections of remote Jabber servers are denied,
|
|
only two servers can connect: "jabber.example.org" and "example.com".
|
|
\item Port 5280 is serving the Web Admin and the HTTP Polling service
|
|
in all the IPv4 addresses. Note
|
|
that it is also possible to serve them on different ports. The second
|
|
example in section~\ref{webadmin} shows how exactly this can be done.
|
|
\item All users except for the administrators have a traffic of limit

for user authentication:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{auth_method, [<method>]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
The following authentication methods are supported by \ejabberd{}:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item internal (default) --- See section~\ref{internalauth}.
|
|
\item external --- There are \footahref{http://www.ejabberd.im/extauth}{some

example authentication scripts}.
|
|
\item ldap --- See section~\ref{ldap}.
|
|
\item odbc --- See section~\ref{mysql}, \ref{pgsql},
|
|
\ref{mssql} and \ref{odbc}.
|
|
\item anonymous --- See section~\ref{saslanonymous}.
|
|
\item pam --- See section~\ref{pam}.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
Account creation is only supported by internal and odbc methods.
|
|
|
|
\makesubsubsection{internalauth}{Internal}
|
|
\ind{internal authentication}\ind{Mnesia}
|
|
|
|
\ejabberd{} uses its internal Mnesia database as the default authentication method.
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \term{auth\_method}: The value \term{internal} will enable the internal
|
|
authentication method.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item To use internal authentication on \jid{example.org} and LDAP

|
authentication on \jid{example.net}:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{host_config, "example.org", [{auth_method, [internal]}]}.
|
|
{host_config, "example.net", [{auth_method, [ldap]}]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\item To use internal authentication on all virtual hosts:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}

|
{auth_method, internal}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}

\ind{sasl anonymous}\ind{anonymous login}
|
|
|
|
%TODO: introduction; tell what people can do with this
|
|
The anonymous authentication method can be configured with the following
|
|
options. Remember that you can use the \term{host\_config} option to set virtual
|
|
host specific options (see section~\ref{virtualhost}). Note that there also
|
|
is a detailed tutorial regarding \footahref{http://support.process-one.net/doc/display/MESSENGER/Anonymous+users+support}{SASL
|
|
Anonymous and anonymous login configuration}.
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \term{auth\_method}: The value \term{anonymous} will enable the anonymous
|
|
authentication method.
|
|
\item \term{allow\_multiple\_connections}: This value for this option can be
|
|
either \term{true} or \term{false} and is only used when the anonymous mode is
|
|
enabled. Setting it to \term{true} means that the same username can be taken
|
|
multiple times in anonymous login mode if different resource are used to
|
|
connect. This option is only useful in very special occasions. The default
|
|
value is \term{false}.
|
|
\item \term{anonymous\_protocol}: This option can take three values:
|
|
\term{sasl\_anon}, \term{login\_anon} or \term{both}. \term{sasl\_anon} means
|
|
that the SASL Anonymous method will be used. \term{login\_anon} means that the
|
|
anonymous login method will be used. \term{both} means that SASL Anonymous and
|
|
login anonymous are both enabled.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
Those options are defined for each virtual host with the \term{host\_config}
|
|
parameter (see section~\ref{virtualhost}).
|

{auth_method, [anonymous]}.
|
|
{anonymous_protocol, login_anon}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|

\item Similar as previous example, but limited to \jid{public.example.org}:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|

\makesubsubsection{pam}{PAM Authentication}
|
|
\ind{PAM authentication}\ind{Pluggable Authentication Modules}
|
|
|
|
\ejabberd{} supports authentication via Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM).
|
|
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
|
|
\ejabberd{} with PAM support enabled:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
./configure --enable-pam && make install
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\titem{pam\_service}\ind{options!pam\_service}This option defines the PAM service name.
|
|
Default is \term{"ejabberd"}. Refer to the PAM documentation of your operation system
|
|
for more information.
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{auth_method, [pam]}.
|
|
{pam_service, "ejabberd"}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
Though it is quite easy to set up PAM support in \ejabberd{}, PAM itself introduces some
|
|
security issues:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item To perform PAM authentication \ejabberd{} uses external C-program called
|
|
\term{epam}. By default, it is located in \verb|/var/lib/ejabberd/priv/bin/|
|
|
directory. You have to set it root on execution in the case when your PAM module
|
|
requires root privileges (\term{pam\_unix.so} for example). Also you have to grant access
|
|
for \ejabberd{} to this file and remove all other permissions from it.
|
|
Execute with root privileges:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
chown root:ejabberd /var/lib/ejabberd/priv/bin/epam
|
|
chmod 4750 /var/lib/ejabberd/priv/bin/epam
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\item 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 \term{kill(1)} \term{epam} process periodically to reduce its memory
|
|
consumption: \ejabberd{} will restart this process immediately.
|
|
\item \term{epam} 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 \term{ejabberd.pam}.
|
|
This example shows how to turn off delays in \term{pam\_unix.so} module:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
#%PAM-1.0
|
|
auth sufficient pam_unix.so likeauth nullok nodelay
|
|
account sufficient pam_unix.so
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
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
|

\ind{ACL}\ind{options!acl}\ind{ACL}\ind{Access Control List}
|
|
|
|
Access control in \ejabberd{} is performed via Access Control Lists (ACLs). The
|
|
declarations of ACLs in the configuration file have the following syntax:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{acl, <aclname>, {<acltype>, ...}}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\term{<acltype>} can be one of the following:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\titem{all} Matches all JIDs. Example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{acl, all, all}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\titem{\{user, <username>\}} Matches the user with the name
|
|
\term{<username>} at the first virtual host. Example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{acl, admin, {user, "yozhik"}}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\titem{\{user, <username>, <server>\}} Matches the user with the JID
|
|
\term{<username>@<server>} and any resource. Example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{acl, admin, {user, "yozhik", "example.org"}}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\titem{\{server, <server>\}} Matches any JID from server
|
|
\term{<server>}. Example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{acl, exampleorg, {server, "example.org"}}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\titem{\{resource, <resource>\}} Matches any JID with a resource
|
|
\term{<resource>}. Example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{acl, mucklres, {resource, "muckl"}}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\titem{\{shared\_group, <groupname>\}} Matches any member of a Shared Roster Group with name \term{<groupname>} in the virtual host. Example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{acl, techgroupmembers, {shared_group, "techteam"}}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\titem{\{shared\_group, <groupname>, <server>\}} Matches any member of a Shared Roster Group with name \term{<groupname>} in the virtual host \term{<server>}. Example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{acl, techgroupmembers, {shared_group, "techteam", "example.org"}}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\titem{\{user\_regexp, <regexp>\}} Matches any local user with a name that
|
|
matches \term{<regexp>} on local virtual hosts. Example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{acl, tests, {user_regexp, "^test[0-9]*$"}}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
%$
|
|
\titem{\{user\_regexp, <regexp>, <server>\}} Matches any user with a name
|
|
that matches \term{<regexp>} at server \term{<server>}. Example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{acl, tests, {user_regexp, "^test", "example.org"}}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\titem{\{server\_regexp, <regexp>\}} Matches any JID from the server that
|
|
matches \term{<regexp>}. Example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{acl, icq, {server_regexp, "^icq\\."}}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\titem{\{resource\_regexp, <regexp>\}} Matches any JID with a resource that
|
|
matches \term{<regexp>}. Example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{acl, icq, {resource_regexp, "^laptop\\."}}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\titem{\{node\_regexp, <user\_regexp>, <server\_regexp>\}} Matches any user
|
|
with a name that matches \term{<user\_regexp>} at any server that matches
|
|
\term{<server\_regexp>}. Example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{acl, yohzik, {node_regexp, "^yohzik$", "^example.(com|org)$"}}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\titem{\{user\_glob, <glob>\}}
|
|
\titem{\{user\_glob, <glob>, <server>\}}
|
|
\titem{\{server\_glob, <glob>\}}
|
|
\titem{\{resource\_glob, <glob>\}}
|
|
\titem{\{node\_glob, <user\_glob>, <server\_glob>\}} This is the same as
|
|
above. However, it uses shell glob patterns instead of regexp. These patterns
|
|
can have the following special characters:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\titem{*} matches any string including the null string.
|
|
\titem{?} matches any single character.
|
|
\titem{[...]} matches any of the enclosed characters. Character
|
|
ranges are specified by a pair of characters separated by a \term{`-'}.
|
|
If the first character after \term{`['} is a \term{`!'}, any
|
|
character not enclosed is matched.
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
The following ACLs are pre-defined:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\titem{all} Matches any JID.
|
|
\titem{none} Matches no JID.
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
\makesubsubsection{AccessRights}{Access Rights}
|
|
\ind{access}\ind{ACL}\ind{options!acl}\ind{ACL}\ind{Access Control List}
|
|
|
|
An entry allowing or denying access to different services looks similar to
|
|
this:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{access, <accessname>, [{allow, <aclname>},
|
|
{deny, <aclname>},
|
|
...
|
|
]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
When a JID is checked to have access to \term{<accessname>}, the server
|
|
sequentially checks if that JID matches any of the ACLs that are named in the
|
|
second elements of the tuples in the list. If it matches, the first element of
|
|
the first matched tuple is returned, otherwise the value `\term{deny}' is
|
|
returned.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{access, configure, [{allow, admin}]}.
|
|
{access, something, [{deny, badmans},
|
|
{allow, all}]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
The following access rules are pre-defined:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\titem{all} Always returns the value `\term{allow}'.
|
|
\titem{none} Always returns the value `\term{deny}'.
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
\makesubsubsection{configmaxsessions}{Limiting Opened Sessions with ACL}
|
|
\ind{options!max\_user\_sessions}
|
|
|
|
The special access \term{max\_user\_sessions} specifies the maximum
|
|
number of sessions (authenticated connections) per user. If a user
|
|
tries to open more sessions by using different resources, the first
|
|
opened session will be disconnected. The error \term{session replaced}
|
|
will be sent to the disconnected session. The value for this option
|
|
can be either a number, or \term{infinity}. The default value is
|
|
\term{infinity}.
|
|
|
|
The syntax is:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{access, max_user_sessions, [{<maxnumber>, <aclname>},
|
|
...
|
|
]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item To limit the number of sessions per user to 10 for all users:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{access, max_user_sessions, [{10, all}]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
\makesubsubsection{configmaxs2sconns}{Several connections to a remote Jabber server with ACL}
|
|
\ind{options!max\_s2s\_connections}
|
|
|
|
The special access \term{max\_s2s\_connections} specifies how many
|
|
simultaneus S2S connections can be established to a specific remote Jabber server.
|
|
The default value is \term{1}.
|
|
There's also available the access \term{max\_s2s\_connections\_per\_node}.
|
|
|
|
The syntax is:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{access, max_s2s_connections, [{<maxnumber>, <aclname>},
|
|
...
|
|
]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Allow up to 3 connections with each remote server:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{access, max_s2s_connections, [{3, all}]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
\makesubsection{shapers}{Shapers}
|
|
\ind{options!shaper}\ind{options!maxrate}\ind{shapers}\ind{maxrate}\ind{traffic speed}
|
|
|
|
Shapers enable you to limit connection traffic. The syntax of
|
|
shapers is like this:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{shaper, <shapername>, <kind>}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
Currently only one kind of shaper called \term{maxrate} is available. It has the
|
|
following syntax:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{maxrate, <rate>}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
where \term{<rate>} stands for the maximum allowed incoming rate in bytes per
|
|
second.
|
|
When a connection exceeds this limit, \ejabberd{} stops reading from the socket
|
|
until the average rate is again below the allowed maximum.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item To define a shaper named `\term{normal}' with traffic speed limited to
|
|
1,000\,bytes/second:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{shaper, normal, {maxrate, 1000}}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\item To define a shaper named `\term{fast}' with traffic speed limited to
|
|
50,000\,bytes/second:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{shaper, fast, {maxrate, 50000}}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
\makesubsection{language}{Default Language}
|
|
\ind{options!language}\ind{language}
|
|
|
|
The option \option{language} defines the default language of server strings that
|
|
can be seen by \Jabber{} clients. If a \Jabber{} client does not support
|
|
\option{xml:lang}, the specified language is used. The default value is
|
|
\term{en}. In order to take effect there must be a translation file
|
|
\term{<language>.msg} in \ejabberd{}'s \term{msgs} directory.
|
|
|
|
For example, to set Russian as default language:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{language, "ru"}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
Appendix \ref{i18ni10n} provides more details about internationalization and localization.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\makesubsection{includeconfigfile}{Include Additional Configuration Files}
|
|
\ind{options!includeconfigfile}\ind{includeconfigfile}
|
|
|
|
The option \option{include\_config\_file} in a configuration file instructs \ejabberd{} to include other configuration files immediately.
|
|
|
|
The basic usage is:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{include_config_file, <filename>}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
It is also possible to specify suboptions:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{include_config_file, <filename>, [<suboption>, <suboption>, ...]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
The filename can be indicated either as an absolute path,
|
|
or relative to the main \ejabberd{} configuration file.
|
|
It isn't possible to use wildcards.
|
|
The file must exist and be readable.
|
|
|
|
The allowed suboptions are:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\titem{\{disallow, [<option>, <option>, ...]\}} Disallows the usage of those options in the included configuration file.
|
|
The options that match this criteria are not accepted.
|
|
The default value is an empty list: \term{[]}
|
|
\titem{\{allow\_only, [<option>, <option>, ...]\}} Allows only the usage of those options in the included configuration file.
|
|
The options that do not match this criteria are not accepted.
|
|
The default value is: \term{all}
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
This is a basic example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{include_config_file, "/etc/ejabberd/additional.cfg"}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
In this example, the included file is not allowed to contain a \term{listen} option.
|
|
If such an option is present, the option will not be accepted.
|
|
The file is in a subdirectory from where the main configuration file is.
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{include_config_file, "./example.org/additional_not_listen.cfg", [{disallow, [listen]}]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
In this example, \term{ejabberd.cfg} defines some ACL and Access rules,
|
|
and later includes another file with additional rules:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{acl, admin, {user, "admin", "localhost"}}.
|
|
{access, announce, [{allow, admin}]}.
|
|
{include_config_file, "/etc/ejabberd/acl_and_access.cfg", [{allow_only, [acl, access]}]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
and content of the file \term{acl\_and\_access.cfg} can be, for example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{acl, admin, {user, "bob", "localhost"}}.
|
|
{acl, admin, {user, "jan", "localhost"}}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
|
|
\makesubsection{optionmacros}{Option Macros in Configuration File}
|
|
\ind{options!optionmacros}\ind{optionmacros}
|
|
|
|
In the \ejabberd{} configuration file,
|
|
it is possible to define a macro for a value
|
|
and later use this macro when defining an option.
|
|
|
|
A macro is defined with this syntax:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{define_macro, '<MACRO>', <value>}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
The \term{MACRO} must be surrounded by single quotation marks,
|
|
and all letters in uppercase; check the examples bellow.
|
|
The \term{value} can be any valid arbitrary Erlang term.
|
|
|
|
The first definition of a macro is preserved,
|
|
and additional definitions of the same macro are forgotten.
|
|
|
|
Macros are processed after
|
|
additional configuration files have been included,
|
|
so it is possible to use macros that
|
|
are defined in configuration files included before the usage.
|
|
|
|
It isn't possible to use a macro in the definition
|
|
of another macro.
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to use a macro:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
|
|
\titem{'<MACRO>'}
|
|
You can put this instead of a value in an \ejabberd{} option,
|
|
and will be replaced with the \term{value} previously defined.
|
|
If the macro is not defined previously,
|
|
the program will crash and report an error.
|
|
|
|
\titem{\{use\_macro, '<MACRO>', <defaultvalue>\}}
|
|
Use a macro even if it may not be defined.
|
|
If the macro is not defined previously,
|
|
the provided \term{defaultvalue} is used.
|
|
This usage behaves as if it were defined and used this way:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{define_macro, '<MACRO>', <defaultvalue>}.
|
|
'<MACRO>'
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
This example shows the basic usage of a macro:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{define_macro, 'LOG_LEVEL_NUMBER', 5}.
|
|
{loglevel, 'LOG_LEVEL_NUMBER'}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
The resulting option interpreted by \ejabberd{} is: \term{\{loglevel, 5\}}.
|
|
|
|
This example shows that values can be any arbitrary Erlang term:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{define_macro, 'USERBOB', {user, "bob", "localhost"}}.
|
|
{acl, admin, 'USERBOB'}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
The resulting option interpreted by \ejabberd{} is: \term{\{acl, admin, \{user, "bob", "localhost"\}\}}.
|
|
|
|
This complex example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{define_macro, 'NUMBER_PORT_C2S', 5222}.
|
|
{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, []}
|
|
]
|
|
}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
produces this result after being interpreted:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{listen,
|
|
[
|
|
{5222, ejabberd_c2s, []},
|
|
{5269, ejabberd_s2s_in, []},
|
|
{5280, ejabberd_http, []}
|
|
]
|
|
}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
|
|
\makesection{database}{Database and LDAP Configuration}
|
|
\ind{database}
|
|
%TODO: this whole section is not yet 100% optimized
|
|
|
|
\ejabberd{} uses its internal Mnesia database by default. However, it is
|
|
possible to use a relational database or an LDAP server to store persistent,
|
|
long-living data. \ejabberd{} is very flexible: you can configure different
|
|
authentication methods for different virtual hosts, you can configure different
|
|
authentication mechanisms for the same virtual host (fallback), you can set
|
|
different storage systems for modules, and so forth.
|
|
|
|
The following databases are supported by \ejabberd{}:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \footahref{http://www.microsoft.com/sql/}{Microsoft SQL Server}
|
|
\item \footahref{http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/mnesia/index.html}{Mnesia}
|
|
\item \footahref{http://www.mysql.com/}{MySQL}
|
|
\item \footahref{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open\_Database\_Connectivity}{Any ODBC compatible database}
|
|
\item \footahref{http://www.postgresql.org/}{PostgreSQL}
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
The following LDAP servers are tested with \ejabberd{}:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \footahref{http://www.microsoft.com/activedirectory/}{Active Directory}
|
|
(see section~\ref{ad})
|
|
\item \footahref{http://www.openldap.org/}{OpenLDAP}
|
|
\item Normally any LDAP compatible server should work; inform us about your
|
|
success with a not-listed server so that we can list it here.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
Important note about virtual hosting:
|
|
if you define several domains in ejabberd.cfg (see section \ref{hostnames}),
|
|
you probably want that each virtual host uses a different configuration of database, authentication and storage,
|
|
so that usernames do not conflict and mix between different virtual hosts.
|
|
For that purpose, the options described in the next sections
|
|
must be set inside a \term{host\_cofig} for each vhost (see section \ref{virtualhost}).
|
|
For example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{host_config, "public.example.org", [
|
|
{odbc_server, {pgsql, "localhost", "database-public-example-org", "ejabberd", "password"}},
|
|
{auth_method, [odbc]}
|
|
]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|

|
\makesubsection{mysql}{MySQL}
|
|
\ind{MySQL}\ind{MySQL!schema}
|
|
|
|
Although this section will describe \ejabberd{}'s configuration when you want to
|
|
use the native MySQL driver, it does not describe MySQL's installation and
|
|
database creation. Check the MySQL documentation and the tutorial \footahref{http://support.process-one.net/doc/display/MESSENGER/Using+ejabberd+with+MySQL+native+driver}{Using ejabberd with MySQL native driver} for information regarding these topics.
|
|
Note that the tutorial contains information about \ejabberd{}'s configuration
|
|
which is duplicate to this section.
|
|
|
|
Moreover, the file mysql.sql in the directory src/odbc might be interesting for
|
|
you. This file contains the \ejabberd{} schema for MySQL. At the end of the file
|
|
you can find information to update your database schema.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\makesubsubsection{compilemysql}{Driver Compilation}
|
|
\ind{MySQL!Driver Compilation}
|
|
|
|
You can skip this step if you installed \ejabberd{} using a binary installer or
|
|
if the binary packages of \ejabberd{} you are using include support for MySQL.
|
|
|
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
\item First, install the \footahref{http://support.process-one.net/doc/display/CONTRIBS/Yxa}{Erlang
|
|
MySQL library}. Make sure the compiled files are in your Erlang path; you can
|
|
put them for example in the same directory as your \ejabberd{} .beam files.
|
|
\item Then, configure and install \ejabberd{} with ODBC support enabled (this is
|
|
also needed for native MySQL support!). This can be done, by using next
|
|
commands:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
./configure --enable-odbc && make install
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\end{enumerate}
|
|
|
|
|
|
\makesubsubsection{configuremysql}{Database Connection}
|
|
\ind{MySQL!Database Connection}
|
|
|
|
The actual database access is defined in the option \term{odbc\_server}. Its
|
|
value is used to define if we want to use ODBC, or one of the two native
|
|
interface available, PostgreSQL or MySQL.
|
|
|
|
To use the native MySQL interface, you can pass a tuple of the following form as
|
|
parameter:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{mysql, "Server", "Database", "Username", "Password"}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\term{mysql} is a keyword that should be kept as is. For example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{odbc_server, {mysql, "localhost", "test", "root", "password"}}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
Optionally, it is possible to define the MySQL port to use. This
|
|
option is only useful, in very rare cases, when you are not running

MySQL with the default port setting. The \term{mysql} parameter
|
|
can thus take the following form:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{mysql, "Server", Port, "Database", "Username", "Password"}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
The \term{Port} value should be an integer, without quotes. For example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{odbc_server, {mysql, "localhost", Port, "test", "root", "password"}}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
By default \ejabberd{} opens 10 connections to the database for each virtual host.
|
|
Use this option to modify the value:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{odbc_pool_size, 10}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
You can configure an interval to make a dummy SQL request
|
|
to keep alive the connections to the database.
|
|
The default value is 'undefined', so no keepalive requests are made.
|
|
Specify in seconds: for example 28800 means 8 hours.
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{odbc_keepalive_interval, undefined}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
If the connection to the database fails, \ejabberd{} waits 30 seconds before retrying.
|
|
You can modify this interval with this option:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{odbc_start_interval, 30}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}

The option value name may be misleading, as the \term{auth\_method} name is used

The actual database access is defined in the option \term{odbc\_server}. Its
|
|
value is used to define if we want to use ODBC, or one of the two native
|
|
interface available, PostgreSQL or MySQL.
|
|
|
|
To use the native PostgreSQL interface, you can pass a tuple of the following
|
|
form as parameter:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{pgsql, "Server", "Database", "Username", "Password"}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\term{pgsql} is a keyword that should be kept as is. For example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{odbc_server, {pgsql, "localhost", "database", "ejabberd", "password"}}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
Optionally, it is possible to define the PostgreSQL port to use. This
|
|
option is only useful, in very rare cases, when you are not running
|
|
PostgreSQL with the default port setting. The \term{pgsql} parameter
|
|
can thus take the following form:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{pgsql, "Server", Port, "Database", "Username", "Password"}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
The \term{Port} value should be an integer, without quotes. For example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{odbc_server, {pgsql, "localhost", 5432, "database", "ejabberd", "password"}}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}

|
LDAP servers. This option is required.
|
|
\titem{ldap\_port} \ind{options!ldap\_port}Port to connect to your LDAP server.
|
|
The initial default value is~389, so it is used when nothing is set into the
|
|
configuration file.
|
|
If you configure a value, it is stored in \ejabberd{}'s database.
|
|
Then, if you remove that value from the configuration file,
|
|
the value previously stored in the database will be used instead of the default 389.
|
|
\titem{ldap\_rootdn} \ind{options!ldap\_rootdn}Bind DN. The default value
|
|
is~\term{""} which means `anonymous connection'.
|
|
\titem{ldap\_password} \ind{options!ldap\_password}Bind password. The default
|
|
value is \term{""}.

Let's say \term{ldap.example.org} is the name of our LDAP server. We have

|
users with their passwords in \term{"ou=Users,dc=example,dc=org"} directory.
|
|
Also we have addressbook, which contains users emails and their additional
|
|
infos in \term{"ou=AddressBook,dc=example,dc=org"} directory. Corresponding
|
|
authentication section should looks like this:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
%% Authentication method
|
|
{auth_method, ldap}.
|
|
%% DNS name of our LDAP server
|

%% Bind to LDAP server as "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=org" with password "secret"

{ldap_rootdn, "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=org"}.

{ldap_base, "ou=Users,dc=example,dc=org"}.

|
%% We want to authorize users from 'shadowAccount' object class only

Now we want to use users LDAP-info as their vCards. We have four attributes

|
defined in our LDAP schema: \term{"mail"} --- email address, \term{"givenName"}
|
|
--- first name, \term{"sn"} --- second name, \term{"birthDay"} --- birthday.

\ejabberd{}'s startup. Each entry in the list is a tuple in which the first
|
|
element is the name of a module and the second is a list of options for that
|
|
module.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
\begin{itemize}

\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item (*) This module requires a supported database. For a list of supported databases, see section~\ref{database}.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
You can see which database backend each module needs by looking at the suffix:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item No suffix, this means that the modules uses Erlang's built-in database
|
|
Mnesia as backend.
|
|
\item `\_odbc', this means that the module needs a supported database
|
|
(see~\ref{database}) as backend.
|
|
\item `\_ldap', this means that the module needs an LDAP server as backend.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
\term{\_odbc} suffix in \ejabberd{} config file. You can use a relational
|
|
database for the following data:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Last connection date and time: Use \term{mod\_last\_odbc} instead of
|
|
\term{mod\_last}.
|
|
\item Offline messages: Use \term{mod\_offline\_odbc} instead of
|
|
\term{mod\_offline}.
|
|
\item Rosters: Use \term{mod\_roster\_odbc} instead of \term{mod\_roster}.
|
|
\item Users' VCARD: Use \term{mod\_vcard\_odbc} instead of \term{mod\_vcard}.
|
|
\item Private XML storage: Use \term{mod\_private\_odbc} instead of \term{mod\_private}.
|
|
\item User rules for blocking communications: Use \term{mod\_privacy\_odbc} instead of \term{mod\_privacy}.
|

|
\makesubsection{modcommonoptions}{Common Options}
|
|
|
|
The following options are used by many modules. Therefore, they are described in
|
|
this separate section.
|
|
|
|
\makesubsubsection{modiqdiscoption}{\option{iqdisc}}
|
|
\ind{options!iqdisc}
|
|
|
|
Many modules define handlers for processing IQ queries of different namespaces
|
|
to this server or to a user (e.\,g.\ to \jid{example.org} or to
|
|
\jid{user@example.org}). This option defines processing discipline for
|
|
these queries. Possible values are:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\titem{no\_queue} 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.
|
|
\titem{one\_queue} 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.
|
|
\titem{\{queues, N\}} N separate queues are created to process the
|
|
queries. The queries are thus process in parallel, but in a
|
|
controlled way.
|
|
\titem{parallel} 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).
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{modules,
|
|
[
|
|
...
|
|
{mod_time, [{iqdisc, no_queue}]},
|
|
...
|
|
]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\makesubsubsection{modhostoption}{\option{host}}
|
|
\ind{options!host}
|
|
|
|
This option defines the Jabber ID of a service provided by an \ejabberd{} module.
|
|
The keyword "@HOST@" is replaced at start time with the real virtual host string.
|
|
|
|
This example configures
|
|
the \ind{modules!\modecho{}}echo module to provide its echoing service
|
|
in the Jabber ID \jid{mirror.example.org}:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{modules,
|
|
[
|
|
...
|
|
{mod_echo, [{host, "mirror.example.org"}]},
|
|
...
|
|
]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
However, if there are several virtual hosts and this module is enabled in all of them,
|
|
the "@HOST@" keyword must be used:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{modules,
|
|
[
|
|
...
|
|
{mod_echo, [{host, "mirror.@HOST@"}]},
|
|
...
|
|
]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\makesubsection{modannounce}{\modannounce{}}
|
|
\ind{modules!\modannounce{}}\ind{MOTD}\ind{message of the day}\ind{announcements}
|
|
|
|
This module enables configured users to broadcast announcements and to set
|
|
the message of the day (MOTD).
|
|
Configured users can perform these actions with a
|
|
\Jabber{} client either using Ad-hoc commands
|
|
or sending messages to specific JIDs.
|
|
|
|
The Ad-hoc commands are listed in the Server Discovery.
|
|
For this feature to work, \modadhoc{} must be enabled.
|
|
|
|
The specific JIDs where messages can be sent are listed bellow.
|
|
The first JID in each entry will apply only to the specified virtual host
|
|
\jid{example.org}, while the JID between brackets will apply to all virtual
|
|
hosts in ejabberd.
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\titem{example.org/announce/all (example.org/announce/all-hosts/all)} The
|
|
message is sent to all registered users. If the user is online and connected
|
|
to several resources, only the resource with the highest priority will receive
|
|
the message. If the registered user is not connected, the message will be
|
|
stored offline in assumption that \ind{modules!\modoffline{}}offline storage
|
|
(see section~\ref{modoffline}) is enabled.
|
|
\titem{example.org/announce/online (example.org/announce/all-hosts/online)}The
|
|
message is sent to all connected users. If the user is online and connected
|
|
to several resources, all resources will receive the message.
|
|
\titem{example.org/announce/motd (example.org/announce/all-hosts/motd)}The
|
|
message is set as the message of the day (MOTD) and is sent to users when they
|
|
login. In addition the message is sent to all connected users (similar to
|
|
\term{announce/online}).
|
|
\titem{example.org/announce/motd/update (example.org/announce/all-hosts/motd/update)}
|
|
The message is set as message of the day (MOTD) and is sent to users when they
|
|
login. The message is \emph{not sent} to any currently connected user.
|
|
\titem{example.org/announce/motd/delete (example.org/announce/all-hosts/motd/delete)}
|
|
Any message sent to this JID removes the existing message of the day (MOTD).
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\titem{access} \ind{options!access}This option specifies who is allowed to
|
|
send announcements and to set the message of the day (by default, nobody is
|
|
able to send such messages).
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Only administrators can send announcements:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{access, announce, [{allow, admins}]}.
|
|
|
|
{modules,
|
|
[
|
|
...
|
|
{mod_adhoc, []},
|
|
{mod_announce, [{access, announce}]},
|
|
...
|
|
]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\item Administrators as well as the direction can send announcements:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{acl, direction, {user, "big_boss", "example.org"}}.
|
|
{acl, direction, {user, "assistant", "example.org"}}.
|
|
{acl, admins, {user, "admin", "example.org"}}.
|
|
|
|
{access, announce, [{allow, admins},
|
|
{allow, direction}]}.
|
|
|
|
{modules,
|
|
[
|
|
...
|
|
{mod_adhoc, []},
|
|
{mod_announce, [{access, announce}]},
|
|
...
|
|
]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
Note that \modannounce{} can be resource intensive on large
|
|
deployments as it can broadcast lot of messages. This module should be
|
|
disabled for instances of \ejabberd{} with hundreds of thousands users.

This module adds support for Service Discovery (\xepref{0030}). With
|
|
this module enabled, services on your server can be discovered by
|
|
\Jabber{} clients. Note that \ejabberd{} has no modules with support
|
|
for the superseded Jabber Browsing (\xepref{0011}) and Agent Information
|
|
(\xepref{0094}). Accordingly, \Jabber{} clients need to have support for

This module is an IRC transport that can be used to join channels on IRC
|
|
servers.
|
|
|
|
End user information:
|
|
\ind{protocols!groupchat 1.0}\ind{protocols!XEP-0045: Multi-User Chat}
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item A \Jabber{} client with `groupchat 1.0' support or Multi-User
|
|
Chat support (\xepref{0045}) is necessary to join IRC channels.
|
|
\item An IRC channel can be joined in nearly the same way as joining a
|
|
\Jabber{} Multi-User Chat room. The difference is that the room name will
|
|
be `channel\%\jid{irc.example.org}' in case \jid{irc.example.org} is
|
|
the IRC server hosting `channel'. And of course the host should point
|
|
to the IRC transport instead of the Multi-User Chat service.
|
|
\item You can register your nickame by sending `IDENTIFY password' to \\
|
|
\jid{nickserver!irc.example.org@irc.jabberserver.org}.
|
|
\item Entering your password is possible by sending `LOGIN nick password' \\
|
|
to \jid{nickserver!irc.example.org@irc.jabberserver.org}.
|
|
\item When using a popular \Jabber{} server, it can occur that no
|
|
connection can be achieved with some IRC servers because they limit the
|
|
number of conections from one IP.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
\begin{description}
|

\hostitem{irc}
|

|
\titem{default\_encoding} \ind{options!defaultencoding}Set the default IRC encoding (default value: \term{"koi8-r"}).
|

\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item In the first example, the IRC transport is available on (all) your
|
|
virtual host(s) with the prefix `\jid{irc.}'. Furthermore, anyone is

\ind{modules!\modlast{}}\ind{protocols!XEP-0012: Last Activity}
|
|
|
|
This module adds support for Last Activity (\xepref{0012}). It can be used to
|
|
discover when a disconnected user last accessed the server, to know when a
|
|
connected user was last active on the server, or to query the uptime of the
|
|
\ejabberd{} server.

\ind{modules!\modmuc{}}\ind{protocols!XEP-0045: Multi-User Chat}\ind{conferencing}
|
|
|
|
This module provides a Multi-User Chat (\xepref{0045}) service.
|
|
Users can discover existing rooms, join or create them.
|
|
Occupants of a room can chat in public or have private chats.
|
|
|
|
Some of the features of Multi-User Chat:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Sending public and private messages to room occupants.
|
|
\item Inviting other users to a room.
|
|
\item Setting a room subject.
|
|
\item Creating password protected rooms.
|
|
\item Kicking and banning occupants.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
The MUC service allows any Jabber ID to register a nickname,
|
|
so nobody else can use that nickname in any room in the MUC service.
|
|
To register a nickname, open the Service Discovery in your
|
|
Jabber client and register in the MUC service.
|
|
|
|
This module supports clustering and load
|
|
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 rooms
|
|
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
|
|
on an available node on first connection attempt.
|
|
|
|
Module options:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\hostitem{conference}
|
|
\titem{access} \ind{options!access}You can specify who is allowed to use
|
|
the Multi-User Chat service. By default everyone is allowed to use it.
|
|
\titem{access\_create} \ind{options!access\_create}To configure who is
|
|
allowed to create new rooms at the Multi-User Chat service, this option
|
|
can be used. By default everybody is allowed to create rooms.
|
|
\titem{access\_persistent} \ind{options!access\_persistent}To configure who is
|
|
allowed to modify the 'persistent' room option.
|
|
By default everybody is allowed to modify that option.
|
|
\titem{access\_admin} \ind{options!access\_admin}This option specifies
|
|
who is allowed to administrate the Multi-User Chat service. 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} \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} \ind{options!max\_users} This option defines at
|
|
the service level, the maximum number of users allowed per
|
|
room. It can be lowered in each room configuration but cannot be
|
|
increased in individual room configuration. The default value is
|
|
200.
|
|
\titem{max\_users\_admin\_threshold}
|
|
\ind{options!max\_users\_admin\_threshold} This option defines the
|
|
number of service admins or room owners allowed to enter the room when
|
|
the maximum number of allowed occupants was reached. The default limit
|
|
is 5.
|
|
\titem{max\_user\_conferences}
|
|
\ind{options!max\_user\_conferences} This option defines the maximum
|
|
number of rooms that any given user can join. The default value
|
|
is 10. This option is used to prevent possible abuses. Note that
|
|
this is a soft limit: some users can sometimes join more conferences
|
|
in cluster configurations.
|
|
\titem{min\_message\_interval} \ind{options!min\_message\_interval}
|
|
This option defines the minimum interval between two messages send
|
|
by an occupant in seconds. 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}
|
|
\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. Intermediate presence packets are silently
|
|
discarded. A good value for this option is 4 seconds.
|
|
\titem{default\_room\_options} \ind{options!default\_room\_options}
|
|
This module option allows to define the desired default room options.
|
|
Note that the creator of a room can modify the options of his room
|
|
at any time using a Jabber client with MUC capability.
|
|
The available room options and the default values are:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\titem{\{allow\_change\_subj, true\}} Allow occupants to change the subject.
|
|
\titem{\{allow\_private\_messages, true\}} Occupants can send private messages to other occupants.
|
|
\titem{\{allow\_query\_users, true\}} Occupants can send IQ queries to other occupants.
|
|
\titem{\{allow\_user\_invites, false\}} Allow occupants to send invitations.
|
|
\titem{\{allow\_visitor\_nickchange, true\}} Allow visitors to
|
|
change nickname.
|
|
\titem{\{allow\_visitor\_status, true\}} Allow visitors to send
|
|
status text in presence updates. If disallowed, the \term{status}
|
|
text is stripped before broadcasting the presence update to all
|
|
the room occupants.
|
|
\titem{\{anonymous, true\}} The room is anonymous:
|
|
occupants don't see the real JIDs of other occupants.
|
|
Note that the room moderators can always see the real JIDs of the occupants.
|
|
\titem{\{logging, false\}} The public messages are logged using \term{mod\_muc\_log}.
|
|
\titem{\{max\_users, 200\}} Maximum number of occupants in the room.
|
|
\titem{\{members\_by\_default, true\}} The occupants that enter the room are participants by default, so they have 'voice'.
|
|
\titem{\{members\_only, false\}} Only members of the room can enter.
|
|
\titem{\{moderated, true\}} Only occupants with 'voice' can send public messages.
|
|
\titem{\{password, ""\}} Password of the room. You may want to enable the next option too.
|
|
\titem{\{password\_protected, false\}} The password is required to enter the room.
|
|
\titem{\{persistent, false\}} The room persists even if the last participant leaves.
|
|
\titem{\{public, true\}} The room is public in the list of the MUC service, so it can be discovered.
|
|
\titem{\{public\_list, true\}} The list of participants is public, without requiring to enter the room.
|
|
\titem{\{title, ""\}} A human-readable title of the room.
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
All of those room options can be set to \term{true} or \term{false},
|
|
except \term{password} and \term{title} which are strings,
|
|
and \term{max\_users} that is integer.
|
|

|
Examples:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item In the first example everyone is allowed to use the Multi-User Chat
|
|
service. Everyone will also be able to create new rooms but only the user
|
|
\jid{admin@example.org} is allowed to administrate any room. In this
|
|
example he is also a global administrator. When \jid{admin@example.org}
|
|
sends a message such as `Tomorrow, the \Jabber{} server will be moved
|
|
to new hardware. This will involve service breakdowns around 23:00 UMT.
|
|
We apologise for this inconvenience.' to \jid{conference.example.org},
|
|
it will be displayed in all active rooms. In this example the history
|
|
feature is disabled.
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{acl, admin, {user, "admin", "example.org"}}.
|
|
|
|
{access, muc_admin, [{allow, admin}]}.
|
|
|

|
{access_admin, muc_admin},
|
|
{history_size, 0}]},
|
|
...
|
|
]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\item In the second example the Multi-User Chat service is only accessible by
|
|
paying customers registered on our domains and on other servers. Of course
|
|
the administrator is also allowed to access rooms. In addition, he is the
|
|
only authority able to create and administer rooms. When
|
|
\jid{admin@example.org} sends a message such as `Tomorrow, the \Jabber{}
|
|
server will be moved to new hardware. This will involve service breakdowns
|
|
around 23:00 UMT. We apologise for this inconvenience.' to
|
|
\jid{conference.example.org}, it will be displayed in all active rooms. No
|
|
\term{history\_size} option is used, this means that the feature is enabled
|
|
and the default value of 20 history messages will be send to the users.
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{acl, paying_customers, {user, "customer1", "example.net"}}.
|
|
{acl, paying_customers, {user, "customer2", "example.com"}}.
|
|
{acl, paying_customers, {user, "customer3", "example.org"}}.
|
|
{acl, admin, {user, "admin", "example.org"}}.

|
|
{access_admin, muc_admin}]},
|
|
...
|
|
]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\item In the following example, MUC anti abuse options are used. An
|
|
occupant cannot send more than one message every 0.4 seconds and cannot
|
|
change its presence more than once every 4 seconds. No ACLs are
|
|
defined, but some user restriction could be added as well:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{modules,
|
|
[
|
|
...
|
|
{mod_muc, [{min_message_interval, 0.4},

|
{min_presence_interval, 4}]},
|
|
...
|
|
]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\item This example shows how to use \option{default\_room\_options} to make sure
|
|
the newly created rooms have by default those options.

\ind{modules!\modmuclog{}}
|
|
|
|
This module enables optional logging of Multi-User Chat (MUC) public conversations to
|
|
HTML. Once you enable this module, users can join a room using a MUC capable
|
|
Jabber client, and if they have enough privileges, they can request the
|
|
configuration form in which they can set the option to enable room logging.
|
|
|
|
Features:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Room details are added on top of each page: room title, JID,
|
|
author, subject and configuration.
|
|
\item \ind{protocols!RFC 5122: Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs) and Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) for the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP)}
|
|
The room JID in the generated HTML is a link to join the room (using
|
|
\footahref{http://www.xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc5122.html}{XMPP URI}).
|
|
\item Subject and room configuration changes are tracked and displayed.
|
|
\item Joins, leaves, nick changes, kicks, bans and `/me' are tracked and
|
|
displayed, including the reason if available.
|
|
\item Generated HTML files are XHTML 1.0 Transitional and CSS compliant.
|
|
\item Timestamps are self-referencing links.
|
|
\item Links on top for quicker navigation: Previous day, Next day, Up.
|
|
\item CSS is used for style definition, and a custom CSS file can be used.
|
|
\item URLs on messages and subjects are converted to hyperlinks.
|
|
\item Timezone used on timestamps is shown on the log files.
|
|
\item A custom link can be added on top of each page.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|

be stored. Make sure the \ejabberd{} daemon user has write access on that
|
|
directory. The default value is \term{"www/muc"}.
|
|
\titem{spam\_prevention}\ind{options!spam\_prevention}
|
|
To prevent spam, the \term{spam\_prevention} option adds a special attribute
|
|
to links that prevent their indexation by search engines. The default value
|
|
is \term{true}, which mean that nofollow attributes will be added to user
|
|
submitted links.

Examples:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item In the first example any room owner can enable logging, and a
|
|
custom CSS file will be used (http://example.com/my.css). The names
|
|
of the log files will contain the full date, and there will be no
|
|
subdirectories. The log files will be stored in /var/www/muclogs, and the
|
|
time zone will be GMT/UTC. Finally, the top link will be
|
|
\verb|<a href="http://www.jabber.ru/">Jabber.ru</a>|.
|

\end{verbatim}
|
|
\item In the second example only \jid{admin1@example.org} and
|
|
\jid{admin2@example.net} can enable logging, and the embedded CSS file will be
|
|
used. The names of the log files will only contain the day (number),
|
|
and there will be subdirectories for each year and month. The log files will
|
|
be stored in /var/www/muclogs, and the local time will be used. Finally, the
|
|
top link will be the default \verb|<a href="/">Home</a>|.

\ind{modules!\modoffline{}}
|
|
|
|
This module implements offline message storage. This means that all messages
|
|
sent to an offline user will be stored on the server until that user comes
|
|
online again. Thus it is very similar to how email works. Note that
|
|
\term{ejabberdctl}\ind{ejabberdctl} has a command to delete expired messages
|
|
(see section~\ref{ejabberdctl}).
|
|
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\titem{user\_max\_messages}\ind{options!user\_max\_messages}This option
|
|
is use to set a max number of offline messages per user (quota). Its
|
|
value can be either \term{infinity} or a strictly positive

|
|
|
|
This module implements Blocking Communication (also known as Privacy Rules)
|
|
as defined in section 10 from XMPP IM. If end users have support for it in
|
|
their \Jabber{} client, they will be able to:
|
|
\begin{quote}
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Retrieving one's privacy lists.
|
|
\item Adding, removing, and editing one's privacy lists.
|
|
\item Setting, changing, or declining active lists.
|
|
\item Setting, changing, or declining the default list (i.e., the list that
|
|
is active by default).
|
|
\item Allowing or blocking messages based on JID, group, or subscription type
|
|
(or globally).
|
|
\item Allowing or blocking inbound presence notifications based on JID, group,
|
|
or subscription type (or globally).
|
|
\item Allowing or blocking outbound presence notifications based on JID, group,
|

This module adds support for Private XML Storage (\xepref{0049}):
|
|
\begin{quote}
|
|
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 (\xepref{0048}).

|
|
|
|
This module implements SOCKS5 Bytestreams (\xepref{0065}).
|
|
It allows \ejabberd{} to act as a file transfer proxy between two
|
|
XMPP clients.
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|

This option restricts which users are allowed to create pubsub nodes using
|
|
ACL and ACCESS. The default value is \term{pubsub\_createnode}. % Not clear enough + do not use abbreviations.
|
|
\titem{plugins} To specify which pubsub node plugins to use. If not defined, the default
|
|
pubsub plugin is always used.
|
|
\titem{nodetree} To specify which nodetree to use. If not defined, the default pubsub
|
|
nodetree is used. Nodetrees are default and virtual. Only one nodetree can be used
|
|
and is shared by all node plugins.
|
|
%\titem{served\_hosts} \ind{options!served\_hosts}

\ind{modules!\modregister{}}\ind{protocols!XEP-0077: In-Band Registration}\ind{public registration}
|
|
|
|
This module adds support for In-Band Registration (\xepref{0077}). This protocol
|
|
enables end users to use a \Jabber{} client to:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Register a new account on the server.
|
|
\item Change the password from an existing account on the server.
|
|
\item Delete an existing account on the server.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\titem{access} \ind{options!access}This option can be configured to specify
|
|
rules to restrict registration. If a rule returns `deny' on the requested
|
|
user name, registration for that user name is denied. (there are no
|
|
restrictions by default).
|
|
\titem{welcome\_message} \ind{options!welcomem}Set a welcome message that
|
|
is sent to each newly registered account. The first string is the subject, and
|
|
the second string is the message body.
|
|
In the body you can set a newline with the characters: \verb|\n|
|
|
\titem{registration\_watchers} \ind{options!rwatchers}This option defines a
|
|
list of JIDs which will be notified each time a new account is registered.
|
|
\iqdiscitem{In-Band Registration (\ns{jabber:iq:register})}
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
This module reads also another option defined globably for the server:
|
|
\term{\{registration\_timeout, Timeout\}}. \ind{options!registratimeout}
|
|
This option limits the frequency of registration from a given IP or username.
|
|
So, a user can't register a new account from the same IP address or JID during
|
|
this number of seconds after previous registration.
|
|
Timeout is expressed in seconds, and must be an integer.
|
|
To disable this limitation,
|
|
instead of an integer put a word like: \term{infinity}.
|
|
Default value: 600 seconds.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Next example prohibits the registration of too short account names:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{acl, shortname, {user_glob, "?"}}.
|
|
{acl, shortname, {user_glob, "??"}}.
|
|
%% The same using regexp:
|
|
%%{acl, shortname, {user_regexp, "^..?$"}}.
|
|
|
|
{access, register, [{deny, shortname},
|
|
{allow, all}]}.
|
|
|
|
{modules,
|
|
[
|
|
...
|
|
{mod_register, [{access, register}]},
|
|
...
|
|
]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\item The in-band registration of new accounts can be prohibited by changing the
|
|
\option{access} option. If you really want to disable all In-Band Registration
|
|
functionality, that is changing passwords in-band and deleting accounts
|
|
in-band, you have to remove \modregister{} from the modules list. In this
|
|
example all In-Band Registration functionality is disabled:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{access, register, [{deny, all}]}.
|
|
|
|
{modules,
|
|
[
|
|
...
|
|
%% {mod_register, [{access, register}]},
|
|
...
|
|
]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\item Define the welcome message and two registration watchers.
|
|
Also define a registration timeout of one hour:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{registration_timeout, 3600}.
|
|
{modules,
|
|
[
|

This module adds support for logging end user packets via a \Jabber{} message
|
|
auditing service such as
|
|
\footahref{http://www.funkypenguin.info/project/bandersnatch/}{Bandersnatch}. All user
|
|
packets are encapsulated in a \verb|<route/>| element and sent to the specified

|
Options:
|
|
\begin{description}

\ind{modules!\modsharedroster{}}\ind{shared roster groups}
|
|
|
|
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 Jabber server,
|
|
but the presence will only be available from and to members
|
|
of the same virtual host where the group is created.
|
|
|
|
Shared roster groups can be edited \emph{only} via the Web Admin. Each group
|
|
has a unique identification and the following parameters:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\item[Name] The name of the group, which will be displayed in the roster.
|
|
\item[Description] The description of the group. This parameter does not affect
|
|
anything.
|
|
\item[Members] 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.
|
|
\item[Displayed groups] A list of groups that will be in the rosters of this
|
|
group's members.
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Take the case of a computer club that wants all its members seeing each
|
|
other in their rosters. To achieve this, they need to create a shared roster
|
|
group similar to next table:
|
|
\begin{table}[H]
|
|
\centering
|
|
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
|
|
\hline Identification& Group `\texttt{club\_members}'\\
|
|
\hline Name& Club Members\\
|
|
\hline Description& Members from the computer club\\
|
|
\hline Members&
|
|
{\begin{tabular}{l}
|
|
\jid{member1@example.org}\\
|
|
\jid{member2@example.org}\\
|
|
\jid{member3@example.org}
|
|
\end{tabular}
|
|
}\\
|
|
\hline Displayed groups& \texttt{club\_members}\\
|
|
\hline
|
|
\end{tabular}
|
|
\end{table}
|
|
\item In another case we have a company which has three divisions: Management,
|
|
Marketing and Sales. All group members should see all other members in their
|
|
rosters. Additionally, all managers should have all marketing and sales people
|
|
in their roster. Simultaneously, all marketeers and the whole sales team
|
|
should see all managers. This scenario can be achieved by creating shared
|
|
roster groups as shown in the following table:
|
|
\begin{table}[H]
|
|
\centering
|
|
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|}

|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Total number of registered users on the current virtual host (users/total).
|
|
\item Total number of registered users on all virtual hosts (users/all-hosts/total).

in order to get the statistics. Here they are:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item You can request the number of online users on the current virtual host
|
|
(\jid{example.org}) by sending:

|
|
This module allows end users to store and retrieve their vCard, and to retrieve
|
|
other users vCards, as defined in vcard-temp (\xepref{0054}). The module also
|
|
implements an uncomplicated \Jabber{} User Directory based on the vCards of

\titem{search}\ind{options!search}This option specifies whether the search
|
|
functionality is enabled (value: \term{true}) or disabled (value:
|
|
\term{false}). If disabled, the option \term{host} will be ignored and the
|
|
\Jabber{} User Directory service will not appear in the Service Discovery item
|
|
list. The default value is \term{true}.
|
|
\titem{matches}\ind{options!matches}With this option, the number of reported
|
|
search results can be limited. If the option's value is set to \term{infinity},
|
|
all search results are reported. The default value is \term{30}.
|
|
\titem{allow\_return\_all}\ind{options!allow\_return\_all}This option enables
|
|
you to specify if search operations with empty input fields should return all
|
|
users who added some information to their vCard. The default value is
|
|
\term{false}.
|
|
\titem{search\_all\_hosts}\ind{options!search\_all\_hosts}If this option is set
|
|
to \term{true}, search operations will apply to all virtual hosts. Otherwise
|
|
only the current host will be searched. The default value is \term{true}.
|
|
This option is available in \modvcard, but not available in \modvcardodbc.
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item In this first situation, search results are limited to twenty items,
|
|
every user who added information to their vCard will be listed when people
|
|
do an empty search, and only users from the current host will be returned:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{modules,
|
|
[
|
|
...
|
|
{mod_vcard, [{search, true},
|
|
{matches, 20},
|
|
{allow_return_all, true},
|
|
{search_all_hosts, false}]},
|
|
...
|
|
]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\item The second situation differs in a way that search results are not limited,
|
|
and that all virtual hosts will be searched instead of only the current one:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}

%TODO: verify if the referers to the LDAP section are still correct
|
|
|
|
\ejabberd{} can map LDAP attributes to vCard fields. This behaviour is
|
|
implemented in the \modvcardldap{} module. This module does not depend on the
|
|
authentication method (see~\ref{ldapauth}).
|
|
|
|
Note that \ejabberd{} treats LDAP as a read-only storage:
|
|
it is possible to consult data, but not possible to
|
|
create accounts, change password or edit vCard that is stored in LDAP.
|
|
|
|
The \modvcardldap{} module has
|
|
its own optional parameters. The first group of parameters has the same
|
|
meaning as the top-level LDAP parameters to set the authentication method:
|
|
\option{ldap\_servers}, \option{ldap\_port}, \option{ldap\_rootdn},
|
|
\option{ldap\_password}, \option{ldap\_base}, \option{ldap\_uids}, and
|
|
\option{ldap\_filter}. See section~\ref{ldapauth} for detailed information
|
|
about these options. If one of these options is not set, \ejabberd{} will look
|
|
for the top-level option with the same name.
|
|
|
|
The second group of parameters
|
|
consists of the following \modvcardldap{}-specific options:
|
|
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\hostitem{vjud}
|
|
\iqdiscitem{\ns{vcard-temp}}
|
|
\titem{search}\ind{options!search}This option specifies whether the search
|
|
functionality is enabled (value: \term{true}) or disabled (value:
|
|
\term{false}). If disabled, the option \term{host} will be ignored and the
|
|
\Jabber{} User Directory service will not appear in the Service Discovery item
|
|
list. The default value is \term{true}.
|
|
\titem{matches}\ind{options!matches}With this option, the number of reported
|
|
search results can be limited. If the option's value is set to \term{infinity},
|
|
all search results are reported. The default value is \term{30}.
|
|
\titem{ldap\_vcard\_map}\ind{options!ldap\_vcard\_map}With this option you can
|
|
set the table that maps LDAP attributes to vCard fields. The format is:
|
|
\term{[{Name\_of\_vCard\_field, Pattern, List\_of\_LDAP\_attributes}, ...]}.\ind{protocols!RFC 2426: vCard MIME Directory Profile}
|
|
\term{Name\_of\_vcard\_field} is the type name of the vCard as defined in
|
|
\footahref{http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2426.txt}{RFC 2426}. \term{Pattern} is a
|
|
string which contains pattern variables \term{"\%u"}, \term{"\%d"} or
|
|
\term{"\%s"}. \term{List\_of\_LDAP\_attributes} is the list containing LDAP
|
|
attributes. The pattern variables \term{"\%s"} will be sequentially replaced
|
|
with the values of LDAP attributes from \term{List\_of\_LDAP\_attributes},
|
|
\term{"\%u"} will be replaced with the user part of a JID, and \term{"\%d"}
|
|
will be replaced with the domain part of a JID. The default is:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
[{"NICKNAME", "%u", []},
|
|
{"FN", "%s", ["displayName"]},
|
|
{"LAST", "%s", ["sn"]},
|
|
{"FIRST", "%s", ["givenName"]},

{"ROLE", "%s", ["employeeType"]},
|
|
{"PHOTO", "%s", ["jpegPhoto"]}]
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\titem{ldap\_search\_fields}\ind{options!ldap\_search\_fields}This option
|
|
defines the search form and the LDAP attributes to search within. The format
|
|
is: \term{[{Name, Attribute}, ...]}. \term{Name} is the name of a search form
|
|
field which will be automatically translated by using the translation
|
|
files (see \term{msgs/*.msg} for available words). \term{Attribute} is the
|
|
LDAP attribute or the pattern \term{"\%u"}. The default is:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
[{"User", "%u"},
|
|
{"Full Name", "displayName"},
|
|
{"Given Name", "givenName"},
|
|
{"Middle Name", "initials"},

|
|
{"Email", "mail"},
|
|
{"Organization Name", "o"},
|
|
{"Organization Unit", "ou"}]
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\titem{ldap\_search\_reported}\ind{options!ldap\_search\_reported}This option
|
|
defines which search fields should be reported. The format is:
|
|
\term{[{Name, vCard\_Name}, ...]}. \term{Name} is the name of a search form
|
|
field which will be automatically translated by using the translation
|
|
files (see \term{msgs/*.msg} for available words). \term{vCard\_Name} is the
|
|
vCard field name defined in the \option{ldap\_vcard\_map} option. The default
|
|
is:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
[{"Full Name", "FN"},
|
|
{"Given Name", "FIRST"},
|
|
{"Middle Name", "MIDDLE"},
|

%TODO: this examples still should be organised better
|
|
Examples:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item
|
|
|
|
Let's say \term{ldap.example.org} is the name of our LDAP server. We have
|
|
users with their passwords in \term{"ou=Users,dc=example,dc=org"} directory.
|
|
Also we have addressbook, which contains users emails and their additional
|
|
infos in \term{"ou=AddressBook,dc=example,dc=org"} directory. Corresponding
|
|
authentication section should looks like this:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
%% authentication method
|
|
{auth_method, ldap}.
|
|
%% DNS name of our LDAP server
|
|
{ldap_servers, ["ldap.example.org"]}.
|
|
%% We want to authorize users from 'shadowAccount' object class only
|
|
{ldap_filter, "(objectClass=shadowAccount)"}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
Now we want to use users LDAP-info as their vCards. We have four attributes
|
|
defined in our LDAP schema: \term{"mail"} --- email address, \term{"givenName"}
|
|
--- first name, \term{"sn"} --- second name, \term{"birthDay"} --- birthday.
|
|
Also we want users to search each other. Let's see how we can set it up:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{modules,
|
|
...
|
|
{mod_vcard_ldap,
|
|
[
|
|
%% We use the same server and port, but want to bind anonymously because
|
|
%% our LDAP server accepts anonymous requests to
|
|
%% "ou=AddressBook,dc=example,dc=org" subtree.
|
|
{ldap_rootdn, ""},
|
|
{ldap_password, ""},
|
|
%% 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"}]},
|
|
%% 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
|
|
{"FIRST", "%s", ["givenName"]},
|
|
{"LAST", "%s", ["sn"]},
|
|
{"FN", "%s, %s", ["sn", "givenName"]}, % example: "Smith, John"
|
|
{"EMAIL", "%s", ["mail"]},
|
|
{"BDAY", "%s", ["birthDay"]}]},
|
|
%% Search form
|
|
{ldap_search_fields,
|
|
[{"User", "%u"},
|
|
{"Name", "givenName"},
|
|
{"Family Name", "sn"},
|
|
{"Email", "mail"},
|
|
{"Birthday", "birthDay"}]},
|
|
%% vCard fields to be reported
|
|
%% Note that JID is always returned with search results
|
|
{ldap_search_reported,
|
|
[{"Full Name", "FN"},
|
|
{"Nickname", "NICKNAME"},
|
|
{"Birthday", "BDAY"}]}
|
|
]}
|
|
...
|
|
}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
Note that \modvcardldap{} module checks an existence of the user before
|
|
searching his info in LDAP.
|
|
|
|
\item \term{ldap\_vcard\_map} example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{ldap_vcard_map,
|
|
[{"NICKNAME", "%u", []},
|
|
{"FN", "%s", ["displayName"]},
|
|
{"CTRY", "Russia", []},
|
|
{"EMAIL", "%u@%d", []},
|
|
{"DESC", "%s\n%s", ["title", "description"]}
|
|
]},
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\item \term{ldap\_search\_fields} example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{ldap_search_fields,
|
|
[{"User", "uid"},
|
|
{"Full Name", "displayName"},
|
|
{"Email", "mail"}

|
]},
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|

|
{ldap_search_reported,
|
|
[{"Full Name", "FN"},

\ind{modules!\modversion{}}\ind{protocols!XEP-0092: Software Version}
|
|
|
|
This module implements Software Version (\xepref{0092}). Consequently, it
|
|
answers \ejabberd{}'s version when queried.
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\titem{show\_os}\ind{options!showos}Should the operating system be revealed or not.
|
|
The default value is \term{true}.
|

|
|
|
|
\makesection{ejabberdctl}{\term{ejabberdctl}}
|
|
|
|
\makesubsection{commands}{Commands}
|
|
|
|
The \term{ejabberdctl} command line administration script allows to start, stop and perform
|
|
many other administrative tasks in a local or remote \ejabberd{} server.
|
|
|
|
When \term{ejabberdctl} is executed without any parameter,
|
|
it displays the available options. If there isn't an \ejabberd{} server running,
|
|
the available parameters are:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\titem{start} Start \ejabberd{} in background mode. This is the default method.
|
|
\titem{debug} Attach an Erlang shell to an already existing \ejabberd{} server. This allows to execute commands interactively in the \ejabberd{} server.
|
|
\titem{live} Start \ejabberd{} in live mode: the shell keeps attached to the started server, showing log messages and allowing to execute interactive commands.
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
If there is an \ejabberd{} server running in the system,
|
|
\term{ejabberdctl} shows all the available commands in that server.
|
|
The more interesting ones are:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\titem{help} Get help about ejabberdctl or any available command. Try \term{ejabberdctl help help}.
|
|
\titem{status} Check the status of the \ejabberd{} server.
|
|
\titem{stop} Stop the \ejabberd{} server which is running in the machine.
|
|
\titem{reopen-log} Reopen the log files after they were renamed.
|
|
If the old files were not renamed before calling this command,
|
|
they are automatically renamed to \term{"*-old.log"}. See section \ref{logfiles}.
|
|
\titem {backup ejabberd.backup}
|
|
Store internal Mnesia database to a binary backup file.
|
|
\titem {restore ejabberd.backup}
|
|
Restore immediately from a binary backup file the internal Mnesia database.
|
|
This will comsume quite some memory for big servers.
|
|
\titem {install-fallback ejabberd.backup}
|
|
The binary backup file is installed as fallback:
|
|
it will be used to restore the database at the next ejabberd start.
|
|
Similar to \term{restore}, but requires less memory.
|
|
\titem {dump ejabberd.dump}
|
|
Dump internal Mnesia database to a text file dump.
|
|
\titem {load ejabberd.dump}
|
|
Restore immediately from a text file dump.
|
|
This is not recommended for big databases, as it will consume much time,
|
|
memory and processor. In that case it's preferable to use \term{backup} and \term{install-fallback}.
|
|
%%More information about backuping can
|
|
%% be found in section~\ref{backup}.
|
|
\titem{import-file, import-dir} \ind{migration from other software}
|
|
These options can be used to migrate from other \Jabber{}/XMPP servers. There
|
|
exist tutorials to \footahref{http://www.ejabberd.im/migrate-to-ejabberd}{migrate from other software to ejabberd}.
|
|
\titem{delete-expired-messages} This option can be used to delete old messages
|
|
in offline storage. This might be useful when the number of offline messages
|
|
is very high.
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
The \term{ejabberdctl} script also allows the argument \term{--node NODENAME}.
|
|
This allows to administer a remote node.
|
|
|
|
The \term{ejabberdctl} script can be configured in the file \term{ejabberdctl.cfg}.
|
|
This file includes detailed information about each configurable option.
|
|
|
|
The \term{ejabberdctl} script returns a numerical status code.
|
|
Success is represented by \term{0},
|
|
error is represented by \term{1},
|
|
and other codes may be used for specifical results.
|
|
This can be used by other scripts to determine automatically
|
|
if a command succedded or failed,
|
|
for example using: \term{echo \$?}
|
|
|
|
|
|
\makesubsection{erlangconfiguration}{Erlang Runtime System}
|
|
|
|
\ejabberd{} is an Erlang/OTP application that runs inside an Erlang runtime system.
|
|
This system is configured using environment variables and command line parameters.
|
|
The \term{ejabberdctl} administration script uses many of those possibilities.
|
|
You can configure some of them with the file \term{ejabberdctl.cfg},
|
|
which includes detailed description about them.
|
|
This section describes for reference purposes
|
|
all the environment variables and command line parameters.

\makesection{webadmin}{Web Admin}
|
|
\ind{web admin}
|
|
|
|
The \ejabberd{} Web Admin allows to administer most of \ejabberd{} using a web browser.
|
|
|
|
This feature is enabled by default:
|
|
a \term{ejabberd\_http} listener with the option \term{web\_admin} (see
|
|
section~\ref{listened}) is included in the listening ports. Then you can open
|
|
\verb|http://server:port/admin/| in your favourite web browser. You
|
|
will be asked to enter the username (the \emph{full} \Jabber{} ID) and password
|
|
of an \ejabberd{} user with administrator rights. After authentication
|
|
you will see a page similar to figure~\ref{fig:webadmmain}.
|
|
|
|
\begin{figure}[htbp]
|
|
\centering
|
|
\insimg{webadmmain.png}
|
|
\caption{Top page from the Web Admin}
|
|
\label{fig:webadmmain}
|
|
\end{figure}
|
|
Here you can edit access restrictions, manage users, create backups,
|
|
manage the database, enable/disable ports listened for, view server
|
|
statistics,\ldots
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item You can serve the Web Admin on the same port as the
|
|
\ind{protocols!XEP-0025: HTTP Polling}HTTP Polling interface. In this example
|
|
you should point your web browser to \verb|http://example.org:5280/admin/| to
|
|
administer all virtual hosts or to
|
|
\verb|http://example.org:5280/admin/server/example.com/| to administer only
|
|
the virtual host \jid{example.com}. Before you get access to the Web Admin
|
|
you need to enter as username, the JID and password from a registered user
|
|
that is allowed to configure \ejabberd{}. In this example you can enter as
|
|
username `\jid{admin@example.net}' to administer all virtual hosts (first
|
|
URL). If you log in with `\jid{admin@example.com}' on \\
|
|
\verb|http://example.org:5280/admin/server/example.com/| you can only
|
|
administer the virtual host \jid{example.com}.
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{acl, admins, {user, "admin", "example.net"}}.
|
|
{host_config, "example.com", [{acl, admins, {user, "admin", "example.com"}}]}.
|
|
{access, configure, [{allow, admins}]}.
|
|
|
|
{hosts, ["example.org"]}.
|
|
|
|
{listen,
|
|
[
|
|
...
|
|
{5280, ejabberd_http, [http_poll, web_admin]},
|
|
...
|
|
]}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\item For security reasons, you can serve the Web Admin on a secured
|
|
connection, on a port differing from the HTTP Polling interface, and bind it
|
|
to the internal LAN IP. The Web Admin will be accessible by pointing your
|
|
web browser to \verb|https://192.168.1.1:5282/admin/|:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
{hosts, ["example.org"]}.

\makesection{adhoccommands}{Ad-hoc Commands}
|
|
|
|
If you enable \modconfigure\ and \modadhoc,
|
|
you can perform several administrative tasks in \ejabberd{}
|
|
with a Jabber client.
|
|
The client must support Ad-Hoc Commands (\xepref{0050}),
|
|
and you must login in the Jabber server with
|
|
an account with proper privileges.

|
\makesection{changeerlangnodename}{Change Computer Hostname}
|
|
|
|
\ejabberd{} uses the distributed Mnesia database.
|
|
Being distributed, Mnesia enforces consistency of its file,
|
|
so it stores the name of the Erlang node in it (see section \ref{nodename}).
|
|
The name of an Erlang node includes the hostname of the computer.
|
|
So, the name of the Erlang node changes
|
|
if you change the name of the machine in which \ejabberd{} runs,
|
|
or when you move \ejabberd{} to a different machine.
|
|
|
|
So, if you want to change the computer hostname where \ejabberd{} is installed,
|
|
you must follow these instructions:
|
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
\item In the old server, backup the Mnesia database using the Web Admin or \term{ejabberdctl}.
|
|
For example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
ejabberdctl backup /tmp/ejabberd-oldhost.backup
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\item In the new server, restore the backup file using the Web Admin or \term{ejabberdctl}.
|
|
For example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
ejabberdctl restore /tmp/ejabberd-oldhost.backup
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\end{enumerate}

You need to take the following TCP ports in mind when configuring your firewall:

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
|

\makesection{epmd}{epmd}
|
|
|
|
\footahref{http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/epmd.html}{epmd (Erlang Port Mapper Daemon)}
|
|
is a small name server included in Erlang/OTP
|
|
and used by Erlang programs when establishing distributed Erlang communications.
|
|
\ejabberd{} needs \term{epmd} to use \term{ejabberdctl} and also when clustering \ejabberd{} nodes.
|
|
This small program is automatically started by Erlang, and is never stopped.
|
|
If \ejabberd{} is stopped, and there aren't any other Erlang programs
|
|
running in the system, you can safely stop \term{epmd} if you want.
|
|
|
|
\ejabberd{} runs inside an Erlang node.
|
|
To communicate with \ejabberd{}, the script \term{ejabberdctl} starts a new Erlang node
|
|
and connects to the Erlang node that holds \ejabberd{}.
|
|
In order for this communication to work,
|
|
\term{epmd} 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.
|
|
|
|
If you build a cluster of several \ejabberd{} instances,
|
|
each \ejabberd{} instance is called an \ejabberd{} node.
|
|
Those \ejabberd{} 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 \ejabberd{} 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.
|
|
|
|
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 \term{ejabberdctl.cfg}.
|
|
The Erlang command-line parameter used internally is, for example:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
erl ... -kernel inet_dist_listen_min 4370 inet_dist_listen_max 4375
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
|
|
\makesection{cookie}{Erlang Cookie}
|
|
|
|
The Erlang cookie is a string with numbers and letters.
|
|
An Erlang node reads the cookie at startup from the command-line parameter \term{-setcookie}.
|
|
If not indicated, the cookie is read from the cookie file \term{\$HOME/.erlang.cookie}.
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
The recommended way to secure the Erlang node is to block the port 4369.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\makesection{nodename}{Erlang Node Name}
|
|
|
|
An Erlang node may have a node name.
|
|
The name can be short (if indicated with the command-line parameter \term{-sname})
|
|
or long (if indicated with the parameter \term{-name}).
|
|
Starting an Erlang node with -sname limits the communication between Erlang nodes to the LAN.
|
|
|
|
Using the option \term{-sname} instead of \term{-name} is a simple method
|
|
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 \term{epmd}.
|
|
The recommended way to secure the Erlang node is to block the port 4369.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\makesection{secure-files}{Securing Sensible Files}
|
|
|
|
\ejabberd{} stores sensible data in the file system either in plain text or binary files.
|
|
The file system permissions should be set to only allow the proper user to read,
|
|
write and execute those files and directories.
|
|
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\titem{ejabberd configuration file: /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg}
|
|
Contains the JID of administrators
|
|
and passwords of external components.
|
|
The backup files probably contain also this information,
|
|
so it is preferable to secure the whole \term{/etc/ejabberd/} directory.
|
|
\titem{ejabberd service log: /var/log/ejabberd/ejabberd.log}
|
|
Contains IP addresses of clients.
|
|
If the loglevel is set to 5, it contains whole conversations and passwords.
|
|
If a logrotate system is used, there may be several log files with similar information,
|
|
so it is preferable to secure the whole \term{/var/log/ejabberd/} directory.
|
|
\titem{Mnesia database spool files in /var/lib/ejabberd/}
|
|
The files store binary data, but some parts are still readable.
|
|
The files are generated by Mnesia and their permissions cannot be set directly,
|
|
so it is preferable to secure the whole \term{/var/lib/ejabberd/} directory.

\ind{clustering!how it works}
|
|
|
|
A \Jabber{} 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 \term{\~{}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 has the following modules:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item router,
|
|
\item local router,
|
|
\item session manager,
|
|
\item s2s manager.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
\makesubsection{router}{Router}
|
|
\ind{clustering!router}
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
routing table, and if it is found, the packet is routed to the
|
|
appropriate process. If not, it is sent to the s2s manager.
|
|
|
|
\makesubsection{localrouter}{Local Router}
|
|
\ind{clustering!local router}
|
|
|
|
This module routes packets which have a destination domain equal to
|
|
one of this server's host names. If the destination JID has a non-empty user
|
|
part, it is routed to the session manager, otherwise it is processed depending
|
|
on its content.
|
|
|
|
\makesubsection{sessionmanager}{Session Manager}
|
|
\ind{clustering!session manager}
|
|
|
|
This module routes packets to local users. It looks up to which user
|
|
resource a packet must be sent via a presence table. Then the packet is
|
|
either routed to the appropriate c2s process, or stored in offline
|
|
storage, or bounced back.
|
|
|
|
\makesubsection{s2smanager}{s2s Manager}
|
|
\ind{clustering!s2s manager}
|
|
|
|
This module routes packets to other \Jabber{} servers. First, it
|
|
checks if an opened s2s connection from the domain of the packet's
|
|
source to the domain of the packet's destination exists. If that is the case,
|
|
the s2s manager routes the packet to the process
|
|
serving this connection, otherwise a new connection is opened.
|
|
|
|
\makesection{cluster}{Clustering Setup}
|
|
\ind{clustering!setup}
|
|
|
|
Suppose you already configured \ejabberd{} on one machine named (\term{first}),
|
|
and you need to setup another one to make an \ejabberd{} cluster. 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|-cookie 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.

\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. It means that you can plug one or several instances of the same component on each \ejabberd{} cluster and that the traffic will be automatically distributed.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
If you need a different behaviour, you can change the load balancing behaviour with the option \option{domain\_balancing}. The syntax of the option is the following:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{domain_balancing, "component.example.com", <balancing_criterium>}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
Several balancing criteria are available:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \term{destination}: the full JID of the packet \term{to} attribute is used.
|
|
\item \term{source}: the full JID of the packet \term{from} attribute is used.
|
|
\item \term{bare\_destination}: the bare JID (without resource) of the packet \term{to} attribute is used.
|
|
\item \term{bare\_source}: the bare JID (without resource) of the packet \term{from} attribute is used.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
If the value corresponding to the criteria is the same, the same component instance in the cluster will be used.
|
|
|
|
\makesubsection{lbbuckets}{Load-Balancing Buckets}
|
|
\ind{options!domain\_balancing\_component\_number}
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
In this case, it is best to limit the problem to the sessions handled by the failing component. This is what the \term{domain\_balancing\_component\_number} option does, making the load balancing algorithm not dynamic, but sticky on a fix number of component instances.
|
|
|
|
The syntax is the following:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{domain_balancing_component_number, "component.example.com", N}

An \ejabberd{} node writes two log files:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\titem{ejabberd.log} is the ejabberd service log, with the messages reported by \ejabberd{} code
|
|
\titem{sasl.log} is the Erlang/OTP system log, with the messages reported by Erlang/OTP using SASL (System Architecture Support Libraries)
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
The option \term{loglevel} modifies the verbosity of the file ejabberd.log.
|
|
The possible levels are:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\titem{0} No ejabberd log at all (not recommended)
|
|
\titem{1} Critical
|
|
\titem{2} Error
|
|
\titem{3} Warning
|
|
\titem{4} Info
|
|
\titem{5} Debug

For example, the default configuration is:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{loglevel, 4}.
|

\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
The log files grow continually, so it is recommended to rotate them periodically.
|
|
To rotate the log files, rename the files and then reopen them.
|
|
The ejabberd command \term{reopen-log}
|
|
(please refer to section \ref{commands})

reopens the log files,
|
|
and also renames the old ones if you didn't rename them.

The Debug Console is an Erlang shell attached to an already running \ejabberd{} server.
|
|
With this Erlang shell, an experienced administrator can perform complex tasks.
|
|
|
|
This shell gives complete control over the \ejabberd{} server,
|
|
so it is important to use it with extremely care.
|
|
There are some simple and safe examples in the article
|
|
\footahref{http://www.ejabberd.im/interconnect-erl-nodes}{Interconnecting Erlang Nodes}

\ind{debugging!watchdog}
|
|
|
|
\ejabberd{} includes a watchdog mechanism that may be useful to developers
|
|
when troubleshooting a problem related to memory usage.
|
|
If a process in the \ejabberd{} server consumes more memory than the configured threshold,
|
|
a message is sent to the Jabber accounts defined with the option
|
|
\term{watchdog\_admins}
|
|
\ind{options!watchdog\_admins} in the \ejabberd{} configuration file.
|
|
|
|
The memory consumed is measured in \term{words}:
|
|
a word on 32-bit architecture is 4 bytes,
|
|
and a word on 64-bit architecture is 8 bytes.
|
|
The threshold by default is 1000000 words.
|
|
This value can be configured with the option \term{watchdog\_large\_heap},
|
|
or in a conversation with the watchdog alert bot.
|
|
|
|
Example configuration:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
{watchdog_admins, ["admin2@localhost", "admin2@example.org"]}.
|
|
{watchdog_large_heap, 30000000}.
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
To remove watchdog admins, remove them in the option.

To perform those management tasks, in the \term{src/} directory execute \term{make translations}.
|
|
The translatable strings are extracted from source code to generate the file \term{ejabberd.pot}.
|
|
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 \ejabberd{}.
|
|
|
|
All built-in modules support the \texttt{xml:lang} attribute inside IQ queries.
|
|
Figure~\ref{fig:discorus}, for example, shows the reply to the following query:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
<iq id='5'
|
|
to='example.org'
|
|
type='get'
|
|
xml:lang='ru'>
|
|
<query xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#items'/>
|
|
</iq>
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|

|
|
\caption{Service Discovery when \texttt{xml:lang='ru'}}
|
|
\label{fig:discorus}
|
|
\end{figure}
|
|
|
|
The Web Admin also supports the \verb|Accept-Language| HTTP header.
