I’m building a live chat using JSJaC and ejabberd . It’s all working except that all site visitors are given the account ‘guest’. If two visitors try to livechat at the same time the responses get muddled or the first user is logged out.
I can randomly set the guest name but then I need to check whether that name is registered or auto-register and hope it hasn’t been registered before. I tried assigning each login to a random resource name but this still merged the conversations.
In short i’m looking for the easiest way to allow multiple anonymous logins to start individual conversations with the livechat account. Even better (but optional) if the livechat could round-robin to a different user when the primary livechat account is in a chat.
The solution can be web-client or server based, I don’t care since I control both (and ejabberd supports various modules).
BTW, when I try to auto-register a registered account the JSJaC simpleclient demo returns:
An error occured:
Code: 409
Type: cancel
Condition: conflict
I haven’t established yet if this is something I can ignore or override with a custom client or server setup. I suppose I could just detect this error and try again without auto-register but I’d like to hear better/easier options.
Try enabling anonymous login mode on your ejabberd server? Then you don’t have to register the client accounts, just pick any random username and password and ejabberd should accept them…
