Creating users, MUCs, etc

Openfire Openfire Dev

Hi all,

I’m working on an XMPP based website that is going to use a combination of the JAXL PHP library and openfire to provide real time communitcation. After setting up my openfire server, I see that it’s mysql based. Can I manually add users, MUCs, etc to the openfire server via PHP on my website? I seem to remember reading somewhere that accessing the openfire database externally is frowned upon, but I don’t really see any other solution.

Thanks in advance,

Zach

Hello,

The solution is to use the plugins and their exposed HTTP apis to manage users. Everything else can be done by making a xmpp connection from your PHP code and executing adhoc or plain XEP style commands to the server.
