Install an ejabberd with synchronized credentials

Home

Installation

Change it's owner to whichever user is running the server, ie. ejabberd

  $ chown ejabberd:ejabberd /path/to/friendica/include/auth_ejabberd.php

Change the access mode so it is readable only to the user ejabberd and has exec
```
  $ chmod 700 /path/to/friendica/include/auth_ejabberd.php
```

Edit your ejabberd.cfg file, comment out your auth_method and add:

  {auth_method, external}.
  {extauth_program, "/path/to/friendica/include/auth_ejabberd.php"}.

Disable the module "mod_register" and disable the registration:
```
  {access, register, [{deny, all}]}.
```
Restart your ejabberd service, you should be able to login with your friendica credentials

Other hints

if a user has a space or a @ in the nickname, the user has to replace these characters:
- " " (space) is replaced with "%20"
- "@" is replaced with "(a)"
