[JDEV] Want to run local JUD

[Colin Madere]

Dennis,

The etherx package isn't required for 1.2.  I didn't install 1.0, but the
1.0 JUD code from CVS is asking for the "etherx-config script" that is
"installed by the etherx package".

You said it worked for you under the 1.2 server.. I'm guessing you already
had etherx installed from the previous Jabber version (1.0) or etherx from
the previous version specifically for the purpose of using the 1.0 JUD code?

Also, at least while testing, I won't have a DNS entry for my server.  So
far I've gotten around this by just using IP addresses.  Any reason why that
wouldn't work here?

Assuming all of the above gets worked out, I'm still wanting to use a DB
rather than an XML file for JUD info storage, so if anyone has info to that
end, PLEASE throw it at me!  (I'm already using postgreSQL for user 'files'
using the xdb_sql files provided by David Le Corfec)

Thanks Dennis,

Colin

I do not remember exactly where (possibly the CVS) but there is sample code 
out there for a JUD, it uses an xml file however, no database backend. It 
also doesn't automatically allow people to search for existing users; users 
have to specifically register with this JUD for their information to show
up. 
It works nicely though.

To make it work with jabber 1.2 do the following

Go to file main.c
Approximately line 74 : jud__etherx = ehandler_new(jud.... etc

Change that line to:

jud__etherx = ehandler_new_ex(jud_etherx, name, "jabber:component:accept", 
1234)

(I don't know how my email mangles that, but it is all on one line, the 
function name changes to ehandler_new_ex, the jabber:server changes to 
jabber:component:accept and an extra parameter is added which is the port 
number you decide to use from now on. In this example I will assume you 
picked 1234.

compile and prey you are not missing any symbols anywhere :)


In jabber.xml, BEFORE the big <service id="sessions"> ...

<service id="jud.mydomain">
 <accept>
  <ip>127.0.0.1</ip>
  <port>1234</port>
  <secret>anything</secret>
 </accept>
</service>

In your /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost jud.mydomain

(ie, "mydomain" has to exist in DNS, but jud.mydomain can be 127.0.0.1)

Then, in the agents section in jabber.xml

<agent jid="jud.mydomain">
 <name>jud.mydomain</name>
 <description>My First Userdirectory</description>
 <service>jud.mydomain</service>
 <register/>
   <!-- this tag meant that users can register with this agent -->
 <search/>
   <!-- this tag meant this agent is searchable -->
</agent>

You then start jud as follows:

/pathto/jud -e jud.mydomain -s anything jud.mydomain /path/to/a/database.xml
(just have an empty file the first time you run it)


In your agents list will now be jud.mydomain. Register with it, then search 
for your own info.

Worked for me, but ymmv :-))  (in jabber 1.2 -> btw, 

Goodluck,
Dennis
