Ejabberd user password does not work when we change the password in Nethgui and Cockpit (solution already said several days ago)

Bug
1

When we change a password of an user in Nethgui and Cockpit, the password of ejabberd does not work.

It is needed to add “ejabberdctl clear-cache”.

I have already said here: https://github.com/NethServer/dev/issues/5931.

No change after several days.

In more, no news about all my changes (without problem) for a perfect ejabberd in NethServer 7.7.

Thanks in advance.

probably it only needs to make an action in nethserver-ejabberd with a 90 score to clear the cache with the event password-modify

3

https://docs.ejabberd.im/developer/ejabberd-api/admin-api/#clear-cache

it is

ejabberdctl clear_cache

4

but this won’t work if the authenticator is remote

5

try this rpm @neustradamus

An official dev has said: ejabberd and LDAP password problem · Issue #3091 · processone/ejabberd · GitHub

Maybe there is a problem in documentation.

Previously I have done the command with clear-cache, it has been worked.

No tested the pr, please test it and correct the path to command if necessary

it seems that in the code it is related to clear_cache, but clear-cache does not trigger errors

[root@ns7loc14 ~]# /opt/ejabberd-*/bin/ejabberdctl clear_cache
[root@ns7loc14 ~]# /opt/ejabberd-*/bin/ejabberdctl clear-cache
[root@ns7loc14 ~]# man ejabberdctl
No manual entry for ejabberdctl

I tested the PR, no error so far in logs I let you the argumentation to make it accepted…my work is done here

No problem :slight_smile:
But strange about the dev for the mistake, and the feature works with “-”, I had tested.
It is like 2 possibilities work.

@stephdl: Any news for this security change?

And about my request to rename:

  • root/etc/e-smith/events/actions/nethserver-ejabberd-clearCache to root/etc/e-smith/events/actions/nethserver-ejabberd-clear-cache.
  • createlinks: nethserver-ejabberd-clearCache -> nethserver-ejabberd-clear-cache
