Hi,
I'm able to install ejabberd using the binary installer, and have tried setting up the host as either localhost / my local IP address / etc. Regardless, I'm always able to login with the admin user ID.
However, using the Spark Jabber Client, I'm able to register an account, but am never able to login.
What could be the reason?
I remember reading that accounts are registered in plain text, but credentials need to be encrypted? are there specific settings I am missing, not in the installation instructions ?
Thanks,
Mahesh

Yes, for testing it's usually good idea to set as vhost name "localhost", or the server IP address.
When you register an account, go to ejabberd WebAdmin and check the accout was created in the vhost.
If login with a client fails, check what ejabberd.log says.
Try also to login to that account with another clients, like Psi, Gajim, Jabbim, Tkabber, Pidgin.
You (as user of a client) only need to provide the text password (as usual) to the client. Then the client negotiates with the server what method they use to provide the password.

Hey, I have a similar problem.
Tried version 2.1.7 and svn, both compiled in gentoo.
I am able to create an account using ejabberdctl and web interface.
I can login with the created accounts via web admin interface and using tkabber client when explicitly setting plain text auth.
Using challenge-response auth or a client, which does not allow forcing plain text auth gives me this error:
"Failed authentication for test@mydomain.com".
I am using postgres database for auth.
