* [Home](help)
[Ejabberd](https://www.ejabberd.im/) is a chat server that uses XMPP as messaging protocol that you can use with a large amount of clients. In conjunction
with the "xmpp" addon it can be used for a web based chat solution for your users.
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}]}.
