I have installed ejabberd on my local server. This was then tested in spark for its functionality and it worked fine. Now I want to add a new user through the android app.
I tried adding a new user through spark and it worked fine. The fields I have given are uesrname, password, confirm password, server. But when I tried to do it using the smack api in the android app it gave the following error:
org.jivesoftware.smack.XMPPException$XMPPErrorException: XMPPError: forbidden - auth
I was using createAccount(), seen in the code I was using below, to create the new account in smack.
AccountManager accountManager = AccountManager.getInstance(conn1);
try {
accountManager.createAccount("tryuser", "qwerty");
Log.i("log", "created user successfully");
} catch (SmackException.NoResponseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (XMPPException.XMPPErrorException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SmackException.NotConnectedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
I have checked if it supports new account creation by supportsAccountCreation() and it returned true.
I have changed my register rule to allow all in ejabberd server. and i don't think it has any problem because i can create account from spark, but getting error in smack.
I have looked into the following SO questions related to this topic but no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this?
Please give a try with below -
AccountManager accountManager = AccountManager.getInstance(connection);
try {
if (accountManager.supportsAccountCreation()) {
accountManager.sensitiveOperationOverInsecureConnection(true);
accountManager.createAccount("userName", "password");
}
} catch (SmackException.NoResponseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (XMPPException.XMPPErrorException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SmackException.NotConnectedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
And you also need to set below in ejabberd.cfg (config file)
{access, register, [{allow, all}]}.
which means - In-band registration allows registration of any possible username. To disable in-band registration, replace 'allow' with 'deny'.
And in mod_register (module in same config file) please set below -
{access_from, register}
& before that please check you are connected to XMPP server.
Probably this will resolve your issue.
