[JDEV] Authentication

[Raistlin Tanis]

Thanks Chris!

I have downloaded both the xdb_auth_cpile.tar.gz and
Jabber::Connection modules.  The pop3 authentication
is working fine.

Is it possible to use mysql as backend in the local
jabber server instead of user.xml file?  

And also,  i still want the local server to accept
registrations of new users, any ideas how to go about
it?  i've tried both xdb_auth_pop3 and xdb_auth_cpile
... but accdg to their docs "Once the script is
running, your server will no longer accept
registrations,".


TIA,
Raist
