Disable username change on server?

On a wildfire server I admin we have been having a spate of people changing their usernames and impersonating other users. Usually people are clever enough to see through this but in the conference rooms its getting confusing for people to differentiate the real from the fake users.

Is there a way to disable peoples ability to change their “First Name”, “Middle Name”, “Last Name” or Username on the server?

Many thanks

PS) Our wildifre is getting its auth from a MYSQL Database and using a different mysql to store all the server data. Unf LDAP is not really an option for us.

Hi,

get the username and vCards from LDAP should solve this problem.

The enterprise plugin allows to make the vCards read-only but the “name” and “email” attributes of a user/JID are not stored in the vCard so one may still change them.

Hi,

if you also use the ext-db.user…provider then it’'s only the vCard which is r/w and the out-of-the-box solution is the enterprise plugin edited and added as long as you use only Spark clients.

While it should be very easy to write a plugin / msg interceptor to drop all vCard changes.
