Class JDBCAdminProvider

java.lang.Object

org.jivesoftware.openfire.admin.JDBCAdminProvider

All Implemented Interfaces:

AdminProvider

public class JDBCAdminProvider
extends Object
implements AdminProvider

The JDBC admin provider allows you to use an external database to define the administrators users. It is best used with the JDBCAuthProvider & JDBCGroupProvider to provide integration between your external system and Openfire. All data is treated as read-only so any set operations will result in an exception.

To enable this provider, set the following in the system properties:

• provider.admin.className = org.jivesoftware.openfire.admin.JDBCAdminProvider

Then you need to set your driver, connection string and SQL statements:

• jdbcProvider.driver = com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
• jdbcProvider.connectionString = jdbc:mysql://localhost/dbname?user=username&password=secret
• jdbcAdminProvider.getAdminsSQL = SELECT user FROM myAdmins

In order to use the configured JDBC connection provider do not use a JDBC connection string, set the following property

• jdbcAdminProvider.useConnectionProvider = true
