Programming Jabber

Configuration and Module Load Directives

Lets start by reviewing the relevant configuration in jabber.xml. User registration is a JSM feature, and we find two places of interest in that component instance definition. The first is in that instance’s configuration, in the section qualified by the jabber:config:jsm namespace:

<register notify="yes">
  <instructions>
    Choose a username and password to register with this server.
  </instructions>
  <name/>
  <email/>
</register>

The second is in that instance’s connection method, showing the mod_register module being loaded. The module plays a major part in handling the registration process, but there are others, too, as we will see:

<load main="jsm">
  <jsm>./jsm/jsm.so</jsm>
  <mod_echo>./jsm/jsm.so</mod_echo>
  <mod_roster>./jsm/jsm.so</mod_roster>
  <mod_time>./jsm/jsm.so</mod_time>
  <mod_vcard>./jsm/jsm.so</mod_vcard>
  <mod_last>./jsm/jsm.so</mod_last>
  <mod_version>./jsm/jsm.so</mod_version>
  <mod_announce>./jsm/jsm.so</mod_announce>
  <mod_agents>./jsm/jsm.so</mod_agents>
  <mod_browse>./jsm/jsm.so</mod_browse>
  <mod_admin>./jsm/jsm.so</mod_admin>
  <mod_filter>./jsm/jsm.so</mod_filter>
  <mod_offline>./jsm/jsm.so</mod_offline>
  <mod_presence>./jsm/jsm.so</mod_presence>
  <mod_auth_plain>./jsm/jsm.so</mod_auth_plain>
  <mod_auth_digest>./jsm/jsm.so</mod_auth_digest>
  <mod_auth_0k>./jsm/jsm.so</mod_auth_0k>
  <mod_log>./jsm/jsm.so</mod_log>
  <mod_register>./jsm/jsm.so</mod_register>
  <mod_xml>./jsm/jsm.so</mod_xml>
</load>
