Regards, Jagds

Registration is handled by XMPPStream (it has to be supported by the server), take a look at these 3 methods and this issue #330

- (BOOL)supportsInBandRegistration;
- (BOOL)registerWithElements:(NSArray *)elements error:(NSError **)errPtr;
- (BOOL)registerWithPassword:(NSString *)password error:(NSError **)errPtr;

History can be fetched using XEP 0136 or XEP 0313, but neither are implemented by the XMPPFramework and not many public XMPP Servers support it.

Im not aware of standard way of implementing forgotten password using XMPP.

@ObjColumnist Thanks for info. But little confusion now.

I have Openfire server installed on Linux.

-(BOOL)supportsInBandRegistration; 

method gives me false value.

So Is there any other way to handle.

I searched and found XEP-0077 is for InBand Registation. Will it work in my case ? How to make XEPs in objective c ?

please guide me in words. I m stuck here.

[ObjColumnist]

This means that openfire doesn't support in band registration or it hasn't been enabled in settings.

[jagdish24]

Just enable and check.. But still not working..

Getting same error,

Error Domain=XMPPStreamErrorDomain Code=4 "The server does not support in band registration." UserInfo=0x112123d30 {NSLocalizedDescription=The server does not support in band registration.}

[ObjColumnist]

I would check that the server offers the register feature (by looking in the console)

register xmlns="http://jabber.org/features/iq-register"

The XMPPStream methods for in band registration are those mentioned in XEP-0077

How to make XEPs in objective c ? Please guide.

[ObjColumnist]

Take a look at the https://github.com/robbiehanson/XMPPFramework/tree/master/Extensions for examples of XEPs.

[jagdish24]

Yes i see these. :+1:

Let me try to add XEP-0077 for In Band Registration. If i stuck somewhere will knock your door again.

Thanks for your valuable time.

[ObjColumnist]

I believe the In Band Registration APIs on XMPPStream are XEP-0077

The issue is that the client doesn't think the server supports it, as the server should advertise it as a stream feature:

<stream:features>
  <register xmlns='http://jabber.org/features/iq-register'/>
</stream:features>

[jagdish24]

So, Is it not possible ??

[ObjColumnist]

You need to see what features the server is advertising, to work out if it is a bug with the server or the client.

[jagdish24]

Not sure if it is correct way to check features of XMPP or not.

I have just get root element

<stream:stream xmlns:stream="http://etherx.jabber.org/streams" xmlns="jabber:client" from="local.cirightlocal" id="c4cfca1a" stream1:lang="en" version="1.0">
<stream:features xmlns:stream="http://etherx.jabber.org/streams">
<compression xmlns="http://jabber.org/features/compress">
<method>zlib</method>
</compression>
<bind xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-bind"/>
<session xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-session"/>
</stream:features>
</stream:stream>

Not seeing anywhere iq-register ..

[ObjColumnist]

That is the correct place to look, but sometimes the features get resent e.g. after you have authenticated to offer additional features.

So its an issue with the server not advertising support for in band registration. Other than restarting the server etc I am not sure what to suggest, I am not an expert when it comes to the different XMPP Servers.

[jagdish24]

I m using OpenFire server and see that In band Registration allowed..

It does not work with Tigase as well. Please check the listed Stanza exchange
