Hi,

are you using In-Band registration of your client or an Openfire plugin to allow this via HTTP?

Hi,

what do you want to do?

You did write “i want to enable users nick registration” in your first post and then “users con only use the registered nickname”.

So one may be a little bit confused.

Hi,

as XMPP is based on unique JIDs and not on “nicknames” I guess that this will be hard. If you want to store the nickname as NAME in the JIVEUSER table you could use a plugin to do this and which makes sure that this one is unique.

You may want to intercept all subscription requests to make sure that the right nickname is sent. If you want that this nickname is also used within MUC you may have to do even more. And you could make sure that this nickname is also stored in the vCard. But all this seems to me to be too much work.
