Following the instructions in ecs/README.md to create an account, it fails with the error below.

$ sudo docker exec -it ejabberd bin/ejabberdapi register --endpoint=http://127.0.0.1:5280/ --jid=admin@localhost --password=passw0rd
ejabberdapi: error: user registration error for admin@localhost: Error 32: AccessRules: Account does not have the right to perform the operation.

I used the wrong hostname. The configuration file ejabberd.yml contains the lines below.

hosts:
  - "xmpp.molgen.mpg.de"

Therefore, I had to use @xmpp.molgen.mpg.de. (Though I’ll need to change that to get rid of the xmpp in there.)
