[JDEV] Security & the Java Jabber server

2001-07-02 Thread Ragavan S
Hi Al and Iain, I would like to participate and contribute to the development of the Java Jabber server. As you both have pointed out there are definitely very good reasons to have an implementation in Java. Apart from the issues you both have brought out, I am also personally interested in t

[JDEV] Some LDAP integration questions

2001-07-09 Thread Ragavan S
Hi, I have been trying to figure out a way to use one of the available ldap modules(xdb_ldap, cw_ldap, ldapauth) with my jabber server (1.4.1) and I have a few questions: 1. Do any of the modules support directories implementing pass-through authentication? In other words, the directory doesn

Hi Zad, Thanks for your response. >What do you mean by pass-through: By pass-through, I meant that the actual password MAY not stored in LDAP, but rather somewhere else (like an NT Domain server, for example). So, the directory server first checks to see if there is a password in the directo

[JDEV] Not storing passwords on jabberr server?

2001-07-30 Thread Ragavan S
Hi, Is there anyway for me to prevent the server from storing the actual passwords in the username.xml files in the spool directory? Where is this done? In mod_register.c? In case you are wondering why I want to do this, I would like my users to authenticate directly against my LDAP directory

[JDEV] Bantu?

2001-09-25 Thread Ragavan S
Hi, I was wondering if any of you had any experience with Bantu(www.bantu.com). I just heard about it from a friend of mine and checked out the website. Wasn't able to gather much information, except for their claims to be 'interoperable', 'secure', 'business-grade'. There isn't much descripti

2001-11-15 Thread Ragavan S
Hi, To be fair to Rikard, I think his message came out of the desire to make people aware of Jabber. The approach he suggested may not be the most appropriate one, but I think his intention is clear. I am also of the opinion that we definitely need to get more publicity than what we have righ

I can see where you are coming from, but let me state a few things that could probably convey some alternative views. There have been a lot of comparisons made between Jabber and Apache, and though I recognize they are both different, and at different stages of their lives ;-), I think it does
