Good people of StackOverflow, please help. I've set up an ejabberd server on my ubuntu machine, added virtual host, set {access, register, [{allow, all}]}. and registered an admin account. I'm not a linux guru, but I've managed to do this basic set up. Now, from my Win 7 machine, using Pidgin, I can login as admin and have access to many administrative features. Most important I can create new users on the server. The problem is that I can't do that with my android client using asmack library. I can establish connection and login, but when I try to register a new user either trough account manager or by sending IQ packets I get forbidden(403) response error.
AccountManager am = new AccountManager(connection);
Map<String, String> attributes = new HashMap<String, String>();
attributes.put("username", "my_user_name");
attributes.put("password", "my_password");
attributes.put("email", "foo@foo.com");
attributes.put("name", "my_full_name");
am.createAccount("my_user_name", "my_password", attributes);
Registration reg = new Registration();
reg.setType(IQ.Type.SET);
reg.setTo(connection.getServiceName());
// attributes.put("username", username);
// attributes.put("password", password);
// reg.setAttributes(attributes);
reg.addAttribute("username", username);
reg.addAttribute("password", password);
reg.addAttribute("email", email);
reg.addAttribute("name", fullName);
PacketFilter filter = new AndFilter(new PacketIDFilter(
reg.getPacketID()), new PacketTypeFilter(IQ.class));
PacketCollector collector = connection.createPacketCollector(filter);
connection.sendPacket(reg);
Has anyone had similar problems or can tell me what am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Had you specified the
ip_access option
inmod_register
? If Pidgin and your ejabberd server are somehow both using the same IP, then a default rule that looks something like this:would allow both of those IPs to register accounts, but not an Android client that was using a different IP.
I've been facing a related problem, and for some reason the
{access_from, register_from}
solution that worked for you did not work as expected for me. Were you able to restrict the ability to create new accounts to only anadmin
user?Try with following changes in ejabberd.cfg.
along with -
&
I hope now it will work for you.
I came across the same issue and found the solution:
Make changes in server
After loggin in ejabbered from ur admin interface. Go to Virtual Host-Nodes-Modules-mod_register and add:
n u ll b able to create account successfully from your client
Works for me this code to register a new account:
with the following settings ejabberd:
{access, register, [{allow, all}]}.
It is a very secure setup because it can record without our authenticated accounts on the server (the method supports.AccountCreation () returns us true).
To register a new user using smack library after logging in through admin or some other account.
