=================

[](#ejabberd-auth-php)

This is a collection of bridges allowing an ejabberd XMPP server to use a locally installed PHP-based CMS for external authentication.

Features
--------

[](#features)

Currently implemented bridges:

- Drupal 8
- Apache htpasswd

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Copy the file `config.sample.yml` to `config.yml` and fill in the appropriate values.

Open your ejabberd configuration and set the external authentication script:

### ejabberd < 13.10

[](#ejabberd--1310)

The configuration file should be located at `/etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg`. Find, uncomment and edit the following lines.

```
{auth_method, external}.
{extauth_program, ".../ejabberd-auth-php/main"}.

```

### ejabberd 13.10+

[](#ejabberd-1310)

The configuration file is at `/etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.yml`.

```
auth_method: external
extauth_program: ".../ejabberd-auth-php/main"

```

Support

[](#support)

I will not be able to offer support or reliable maintenance for this software, or any of its plugins. Functionality may be changed without notice. This software is (for now) indefinitely in pre-release mode, and there are no current plans for a stable release.

Your best bet for using this software is to fork it and maintain your own codebase. I will gladly take pull requests under consideration if you feel like contributing.
