register new users in openfire?

Question

Is there anyway to register new users through an HTTP request in OpenFire. I want users to be able to sign up for my messaging service from within an app written in cocoa. Can this be done??

Answer 1

Take a look at the web administration console's create-a-user page (http://<openfire-server>:<port>/user-create.php). It uses a simple HTTP GET form to create a new user. I imagine you could pull the submit URL and various required fields from the source of that page and build your own GET request from your Cocoa app.

Answer 2

The easiest way to register a new user in Openfire is the UserService plugin. Just take a look at http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/plugins/userservice/readme.html
