asmack XMPP new user registration
Good people of StackOverflow, please help. I've set up an ejabberd server on my ubuntu machine, added virtual host, set {access, register, [{allow, all}]}. and registered an admin account. I'm not a linux guru, but I've managed to do this basic set up. Now, from my Win 7 machine, using Pidgin, I can login as admin and have access to many administrative features. Most important I can create new users on the server. The problem is that I can't do that with my android client using asmack library. I can establish connection and login, but when I try to register a new user either trough account manager or by sending IQ packets I get forbidden(403) response error.
AccountManager am = new AccountManager(connection);
Map<String, String> attributes = new HashMap<String, String>();
attributes.put("username", "my_user_name");
attributes.put("password", "my_password");
attributes.put("email", "[email protected]");
attributes.put("name", "my_full_name");
am.createAccount("my_user_name", "my_password", attributes);
Registration reg = new Registration();
reg.setType(IQ.Type.SET);
reg.setTo(connection.getServiceName());
// attributes.put("username", username);
// attributes.put("password", password);
// reg.setAttributes(attributes);
reg.addAttribute("username", username);
reg.addAttribute("password", password);
reg.addAttribute("email", email);
reg.addAttribute("name", fullName);
PacketFilter filter = new AndFilter(new PacketIDFilter(
reg.getPacketID()), new PacketTypeFilter(IQ.class));
PacketCollector collector = connection.createPacketCollector(filter);
connection.sendPacket(reg);
Has anyone had similar problems or can tell me what am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Answer
I found it! The problem is in server configuration (but I still don't understand why I could register new user from Pidgin before this change). Setting
%% In-band registration
{access, register, [{allow, all}]}.
doesn't seem to work with new versions of ejabberd. You need to add
{mod_register, [
{access_from, register},
...
] ...
if You want to allow all users to register. If You want only admin to have this access, then you need to add new access rule
{access, register_from, [{allow, admin}]}.
and
{mod_register, [
{access_from, register_from},
...
] ...
