[JDEV] Authentication

[Chris Pile]

You could do this quite easily using the xdb_auth/check method.  I have
some scripts that would be very easy to modify to suit your needs:

http://www.snoogans.co.uk/jabber/files/xdb_auth_cpile.tar.gz

Download the tar.gz file and have a read of the docs.

You'll need an experimental version of Jabber::Connection :

Using these scripts, you can catch the username and authenticate
accordingly, but you will probably have to write some code to read in
the user.xml file and check the stored password.  There is an example of
POP3 auth in my scripts.

It may be easier to migrate all users to one authentication platform.


Thanks,
Chris Pile.
