XMPP Service Operators - 2019-08-05

can anyone help me get jabber integrated with phpBB ?

is anyone alive in here?

bipolarmorgan, Prosody has this module for instance: https://modules.prosody.im/mod_auth_phpbb3.html

If you’re using another, check if they have such an authentication module.

I'm using standard phpBB 3.2.7, it is supposed to have jabber builtin - but it gives me connect errors, so I'm assuming something is wrong, but I can't seem to debug what is wrong...

Ah, dunno then, I’ve never used this software.

Maybe wait for someone who has to wake up.

bipolarmorgan, look for a log file.

Thanks Link Mauve!

I'll look into what that prosody module does as well, but at first look it appears to be for authenticating against the phpbb database? I'm not sure.

Yes.

That might be the other direction than what you want.

I see, I might also be better suited to bug the forum at phpBB as well... but figured I would check everywhere first... LOL

Thanks for trying... it is appreciated Link

hello everyone

i have a few question on the security of xmpp

kevin: nice avatar Ask away...

:)

thanks man

how can i protect myself?

define protect?

kevin: define "myself"

ask for example i join a xabber server from another server is there away for me to disclose private data?

Join a MUC (chat) on Xabber from another server? No, unless you post it yourself, they don't see your IP, just that your server connects to them.

Licaon_Kter, are you able to execute shell scripts through an admin account?

kevin: what do you mean?

the ad-hoc module

You are able to view ips, logs, last login

kevin: well as with any server, yes

are you able to execute shell scripts into the server with adhoc?

if an admin account gets compromised

kevin: into the server, via the xmpp admin account? No...

ok cool

thanks man this helps a lot

Not with current implementations, (ignoring any vulnerability), but it's not impossible ✏

Thanks guys

My admins server has been getting dossed recently and im just going through the standard procedure

im currently working on a DND stat system for the server and i came on here a few weeks ago and the people on here told me to use PEP exp

I dont think thats the right XEP to use tbh

kevin: dnd stat?

Do not disturb?
