How to create non-anonymous rooms in Ejabberd

Question

Hi,

I would like to create a non-anoymous room (muc) in Jabber (Ejabberd). I can create an anonymous room, but how can i make it non-anonymous?

I have read http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html but they only describe what non-anonymous rooms, not how to create it.

I want the members to see each other's normal JIDs as opposed to conference JIDs with a nick.

Answer 1

From the official guide - set anonymous to false using your chat client (assuming you have admin rights):

{default_room_options, [ {OptionName, OptionValue}, ...]}

This module option allows to define the desired default room options. Note that the creator of a room can modify the options of his room at any time using a XMPP client with MUC capability. The available room options and the default values are:

{anonymous, true|false}

  The room is anonymous: occupants don’t see the real JIDs of other occupants. 
  Note that the room moderators can always see the real JIDs of the occupants.

If you want to use a gui to configure this and similar settings of muc rooms, you might want to install Psi, connect to your server, join/create a room with service discovery and find that small arrow in the top-right corner of the room window. An enabled XML console is really helpful.
