Openfire Sql Database Integration

Question

I'm following this guide (http://www.igniterealtime.org/builds/openfire/docs/latest/documentation/db-integration-guide.html) to integrate the Openfire server with and Sql Server Database.

I configured the openfire.xml like this:

<jdbcProvider>
<driver>net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver</driver>
<connectionString>jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://192.168.21.40:1433/XmppTests;user=myusername;password=mypass;instance=sqlserver2008ex;</connectionString> 
</jdbcProvider>
<provider> 
  <auth> 
    <className>org.jivesoftware.openfire.auth.JDBCAuthProvider</className> 
  </auth>
</provider>
<jdbcAuthProvider> 
  <passwordSQL>SELECT password FROM dbo.Users WHERE username=?</passwordSQL>  
  <passwordType>plain</passwordType> 
</jdbcAuthProvider>
<admin>
    <authorizedUsernames>francisco</authorizedUsernames>
</admin>

When I turn the server on it doesn't show me any error, it reverts the file to the default values. I check the logs and I can't find anything.

Answer 1

From here.

The setting(s) are stored in the DB with 3.6.4 I noticed this as well and only saw the DB reference in another discussion and after checking my install, yep, all in the DB except the DB connection options.

And confirmation here:

Per an earlier thread, most of the SSO config gets sucked into the DB at startup, which is why you don't see it in the XML file anymore. This is normal.
