They should be imported like other information (rosters, vcards, ...), and included in the mnesia table 'passwd'.

How about passwrods?

But there is no way to import users passwords?

The problem was in XML files

siwuch86 — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 08:05:12 +0000

The problem was in XML files with contacts from Gadu-Gadu transport. I changed each "subscription='to'" to "subscription='both'" and then importing gone well :).

It should import the rosters.

Importing from jabberd14 should import: user auth, rosters (the contact list), offline messages, vcards, ...

Maybe in your case only the user auth was imported. Try several things:

Repeat the import again;
check the ejabberd log files in case it shows any error message;
verify if all accounts were imported;
otherwise, also try to import only three accounts, and check if for those all their information is correctly imported
If only some accounts are badly imported, check if their XML files in the jabberd14 spool dir are XML-well formed.

How to preserve passwords

siwuch86 — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 18:20:19 +0000

Hi everybody.

Can anybody tell me if there is any kind of "magic trick" to import accounts from jabberd14 but in a way in which i can preserve users passwords and individual authorisation settings?
I observed that after importing, each user has to re-authorise each contact from his/her roster.

Script to migrate rosterusers and rostergroups in MySQL database

nanard51 — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 22:26:00 +0000

I migrated one french jabber server (jabber-fr.net) (from jabberd1.4 to ejabberd) with the MySQL support and i met a problem with the script to import users account. The script is OK when ejabberd run with mnesia database but with MySQL, the script didn't imported any rosters ! So, i wrote a script in PHP to migrate all rosters of all XML files (form jabberd1.4). The script import only rosterusers and rostergroups because it was only these informations which didn't import in MySQL tables (Username, messages... import well). This script is under GNU GPL v2 licence. You can donwload and use it here: http://bchomel.free.fr/loisirs/info/script_migration_rosters_ejabberd_my...

JID: nanard51@jabber-fr.net

A copy of the script is also available here: script_migration_rosters_ejabberd_mysql.tar.gz

Check mod_configure is running

Note that I refer to ejabberd 1.1.2, but you seem to be using an older version of ejabberd.

Ok, then the account has rights.

The problem then is on mod_configure, and mod_adhoc which is required. Check both of them are declared on ejabberd.cfg, and they are listed on web interface -> virtual host -> your host -> nodes -> your node -> modules.

admin@localhost already have admin rights

sylverspyder — Wed, 08 Nov 2006 03:26:01 +0000

Hi badlop,

Thank you for your fast reply.

I've checked the ejabberd config file and found that admin@localhost already has admin rights, according to the line

Quote:

{acl, admin, {user, "admin","localhost"}}.

which is the exact code found in the ejabberd Guide section '3.3 Creating an Initial Administrator'.

I've successfully accessed the web interface, using admin@localhost which means that admin@localhost does has admin right, correct? :)

I'm sorry i can't find it in section 6 as my guide shows that section 6 is for 'Clustering'.

Hoping to hear more from you.

Thousand thanks.

give admin rights to the jabber account

You login with a Jabber account called admin@localhost. Does that account have admin rights? No, because ejabberd doesn't show the admin features on Service Discovery.

Yes. Check the ejabberd Guide, section '6 Creating an Initial Administrator'. You need to do steps 2 and 3.

Confirmed logged in as admin in tkabber

Hi badlop, thanx for your reply.

I've tried logging in as admin but still there's no "Running Node" in the Service Directory window.

Here's 2 snapshot of my Psi (nightly-20061026-win32) and Tkabber(0.99)'s Service Directory window.

PSI-SD
Tkabber-SD

Should I add any extra codes inside the ejabberd config file?

I'm now trying the FAQ that sander's posted earlier. I've got a hang of using ejabberdctl to accomplish this task, but I realised that it need a VALID xml file to be exported. So now I'm trying to make a sample xml file taken from the jabberd server a valid xml file manually. It is quite tedious :D

Any other suggestion are truly welcome.
Thank you.

Tkabber 0.9.9 should work: is the account admin?

Tkabber 0.9.9 should work. For Psi, try 0.11-beta or nightly builds. Look for them on the Psi Wiki.

If Tkabber doesn't show you the admin options, probably the reason is your Jabber account is not defined as admin on ejabberd.cfg.

I have tried 'Using a Jabber client with Ad-Hoc Commands support

Yes I have.

But all I can find is the latest version of PSI (0.10) and TKABBER (0.9.9), and both didn't have the interfaces shown here --> http://www.ejabberd.im/mod_configure

I'm trying to follow sander's faq link for a while and will post back the result asap.

Thank you for the fast replies.

There is a FAQ entry about
