For the life of me, I can't seem to get Jabber external authentication to work on a Windows box. I've added and modified all the lines in the .cfg as per the posts above, but it still doesn't seem to work. I can register any account name/password remotely using Pidgin, which is obviously not very secure.

Is there a chance of getting some type of walk through to help us to get this to work? Much appreciated.

hey guys
want to be able to check characters api's for account expiry and remove them from the forum when they unsub (to workin with the current cron job)

is it possible?

Perhaps I missed a post, is there an updated Odyssey 1.1 version of the mod?

Yugo, between your write up and my experimenting, it took me a couple of days to figure it out as I am self-taught with all this, but finally got it working. First off, I could not get this to work on windows using the v2.1.11 release of ejabberd, I had to download and install v2.1.10.

I installed v2.1.10, and then followed all the steps in your post. I was having issues logging into the ejabberd web interface when I enabled external auth, so I did some poking around.

In Cyerus' "ejabberd_side.php" file, I changed the value of error reporting on line 4 to "error_reporting(1);"

Lines 13 & 14 to read:

private $_log = true;
private $_debug = false;

And finally line 15 to read:

private $_logfile = "c:/exauth_phpbb.log";

Take note of the file "exauth_phpbb.log" in line 15, as I had to manually create that using notepad and save it directly to the c:\ drive, for it to work and write to the log.

Also, the only other problem I seemed to run into is the fact I am running XAMPP, and even though my PHP Path is set in Windows, it did not seem to execute the "ejabberd_side.php" file. In my ejabberd.cfg file, towards line 202/203, this is what I had to enter in order to get it to work:

{auth_method, external}.
{extauth_program, "c:/xampp/php/php.exe C:/xampp/htdocs/forums/store/mods/eve_api_6/tools/ejabberd/ejabberd_side.php"}.

I am not the best at explaining things, but I do hope this helps my friends on Windows machines save some time and to get this mod up and running. This is an extremely valuable feature of this package and I thank all of you who helped develop it and have helped nubs like me to get it to work!

I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this, but since the upgrade to 6.2.4 I have suddenly a whole bunch of users each day getting an "Invalid API Key" error.

People checked those keys and they were still valid keys according to the Eve API management thing (or so they claim to me), but still the forum doesn't accept them and their accounts get disabled.

When they create a new API key and enter that, their accounts are enabled again.

Am I the only one here?

Greetings,
any chance the API Tool is working with the phpBB Style: SE Gamer Dark
https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/style/se_gamer_dark/

Or maybe how to edit to make it working?

Thank you!

2 Cyerus:
Hi!
Could you add to the admin panel an option to choose eve API mask to accept registration. For example my alliance need only the full API keys and i have to edit files each update.
Thank you very much for your work

Same issue. I just edited the bits out from the install files for now, as they aren't that important for my corp.
The proper way to do it would be to check the HTML tags in the files and see why it's not finding them, but I didn't have time when doing it.

Greetings, I did:

Error install

ignored an installed it ... all the fields were merged or included

But: registration and modification (account settings) is still returning a "Bad request"

Is it possible to set a Forum Group based on the titles in EVE ?
