Creating new user with Smack on ejabberd throws XMPP Exception: forbidden(403)

Question

Hi I am working on ejabberd and I am quite new to this technology.

I am trying to add a user on my ejabberd server using this code:

  try {                  


        

Answer 1

Goto C:\Program Files (x86)\ejabberd-2.1.8\conf (in my case) folder & open ejabberd.cfg file using Notepad++ (it is easy to edit using it).

In the file do the following changes:

%% Put this in the section ACCESS RULES
{access, register_from, [{allow, admin}]}.

%% Change mod_register so it contains the new access rule:

{mod_register, [
          {access_from, register_from},
           ...
                    ] ...

Answer 2

In my case, i need to edit the file EJABERD_HOME/conf/ejabberd.yml, on mod_register change parameters to:

ip_access : all

access_from : all

access: register

To allow users register from another host

Answer 3

I want to update the answer to reflect the change in Asmack library version 4.0 onward. Connection.getAccountManager() is now AccountManager.getInstance(XMPPConnection)

AccountManager accountManager=AccountManager.getInstance(connection);
try {
    accountManager.createAccount("username", "password");
} catch (XMPPException e1) {
    Log.d(e1.getMessage(), e1);
}

Answer 4

For yaml configuration as follows.

access_rules:
  local:
    allow: all
  configure:
    allow: all
  trusted_network:
    allow: all
  register:
    allow: all
  .......

modules:
  mod_register:
    ip_access: trusted_network
    access: register
    access_from: all

Note: This is allow all configuration. Make strict configuration as required.
