[jdev] Jabberd2 authentication component

[Erich Buri]

Hello,

I would like to write a component that handles the authentication for
jabberd2. 

I have the book Jabber Developer's Handbook where Moore & Wright explain
how to do this for jabberd 1.4 but this seems to me not possible with
jabberd2, is this right?

Is there another way to write a personal authentication service? 

My idea was to add new users directly in the authreg.db (since i use
BerkeleyDB). Although it works, it has some draw backs. Therefor I would
rather like to have a component.


Further I will have to add contacts to the roster of some users. Is it
possible to do this with a component or do I have to access the Database
directly?

regards
Erich Buri
