{error,econnrefused} means that ejabberd was not able to connect to http server that should handle http auth request, possibly connection blocked by firewall or wrong url in that auth_http configuration?

[hksinsinwar]

Hi @prefiks Thanks for your response. Can you help me out how can i get more information, like what is the auth server url and actual server url ejabberd is using, I am able to connect using CURL and postman curl -XGET http://127.0.0.1:8093/check_password

My configuration is

auth_method: http
auth_opts:
  host: "http://127.0.0.1:8093"
  connection_pool_size: 10
  connection_opts: []
  basic_auth: ""
  path_prefix: "/"

[hksinsinwar]

I added extra information in debug and findout that ejabberd_http_mod is trying to connect host http://localhost:12000 not the one i configured in auth_opts to http://localhost:8093

Can you help me why it is not picking the provided host for authentication ?

[prefiks]

Could you check if restarting ejabberd or executing 'ejabberdctl reload_config' fixes that? Possibly you changed your config after ejabberd already loaded it? Are both of those options at start of a line, there is no spaces before them?

[hksinsinwar]

Hi @prefiks Thanks for your kind support. Actually issue was with config file location. Ejabberd CONTRIB_MODULES_CONF_DIR variable, Upon installation ejabberd is not moving the configuration file from module to <>/conf/<>.yml file will be here.

Now it is picking the configuration, Thanks again 👍
