Configuration

Note that fresh installations of MongoDB do not come with users or databases installed. Once you have setup MongoDB you will need to create a user to be used with Tigase. To do this, bring up the mongo console by running mongo.exe in a cmd window for windows, or run mongo in linux. Once connected, enter then following:

use admin
db.createUser( { user: "tigase",
                 pwd: "password",
                 customData: { employeeId: 12345 },
                 roles: [ "root" ]
                }
              )

Be sure to give this user a root role in order to properly write to the database. Once you receive a user successfully created message, you are ready to install tigase on MongoDB.

Configuration of user repository for Tigase XMPP Server

To configure Tigase XMPP Server to use MongoDB you need to set dataSource in etc/config.tdsl file to proper MongoDB URI pointing to which MongoDB database should be used (it will be created by MongoDB if it does not exist). userRepository property should not be set to let Tigase XMPP Server auto-detect proper implementation of UserRepository. Tigase XMPP Server will create proper collections in MongoDB if they do not exist so no schema files are necessary.

Example configuration of XMPP Server pointing to MongoDB database tigase_test in a local instance:

dataSource {
    default () {
        uri = 'mongodb://user:pass@localhost/tigase_test'
    }
}
userRepository {
    default () {}
}
authRepository {
    default () {}
}

If Tigase Server is not able to detect a proper storage layer implementation, it can be forced to use one provided by Tigase using the following lines in etc/config.tdsl file:

userRepository {
    default () {
        cls = 'tigase.mongodb.MongoRepository'
    }
}
authRepository {
    default () {
        cls = 'tigase.mongodb.MongoRepository'
    }
}

Every component should be able to use proper implementation to support MongoDB using this URI. Also MongoDB URI can be passed as any URI in configuration of any component.

Configuration for MUC

By default, MUC component will use MongoDB to store data if Tigase is configured to use it as a default store. However, if you would like to use a different MongoDB database to store MUC message archive, you can do this by adding the following lines to etc/config.tdsl file:

muc {
    'history-db-uri' = 'mongodb://user:pass@localhost/tigase_test'
}

If MUC components fails to detect and use a proper storage layer for MongoDB, you can force it to use one provided by Tigase by using the following line in the config.tdsl file:

muc {
    'history-db' = 'tigase.mongodb.muc.MongoHistoryProvider'
}
Configuration for PubSub

By default, PubSub component will use MongoDB to store data if Tigase is configured to use it as a default store. However, if you would like to use a different MongoDB database to store PubSub component data, you can do this by adding the following lines to etc/config.tdsl file:

pubsub {
    'pubsub-repo-url' = 'mongodb://user:pass@localhost/tigase_test'
}

If the PubSub components fails to detect and use a proper storage layer for MongoDB, you can force it to use one provided by Tigase by using the following line in the config.tdsl file:

pubsub {
    'pubsub-repo-class' = 'tigase.mongodb.pubsub.PubSubDAOMongo'
}
Configuration for Message Archiving

By default, the Message Archiving component will use MongoDB to store data if Tigase is configured to use it as a default store. However, if you would like to use a different MongoDB database to store message archives, you can do this by adding the following lines to etc/config.tdsl file:

'message-archive' {
    'archive-repo-uri' = 'mongodb://user:pass@localhost/tigase_test'
}

If Message Archiving component fails to detect and use a proper storage layer for MongoDB, you can force it to use one provided by Tigase by using the following line in the config.tdsl file:

'message-archive' {
    'archive-repo-class' = 'tigase.mongodb.archive.MongoMessageArchiveRepository'
}
