How to block a particular jabber_id to a particular person in ejabberd?

Question

Hi i had installed ejabberd 16.04.43 in my server and its running as per as i needed.

Now i got new requirement to block a particular person to a particular user

Let me consider few users:

kandan
cash
mani
kumar
lokesh

Each of them has a particular jabber id in ejabberd and they interact with each other by using the command

add rosteritem

Now what i need is,

 **kandan blocks cash** such that any further message from kandan to cash or from cash to kandan should not deliver each other , so can anyone tell me how to implement?

i installed with mod_block , but am no where nearby to answer what i expected..!!!

could you guide me please since am just a new born kid to ejabberd. — Mani Kandan, Jun 27 '16 at 08:44

You need to add user to a privacy list with action deny. And later if you wish to unblock then set the action to allow.

Example:

<iq from='romeo@example.net/orchard' type='set' id='msg1'>
<query xmlns='jabber:iq:privacy'>
  <list name='message-jid-example'>
    <item type='jid'
          value='tybalt@example.com'
          action='deny'
          order='3'>
      <message/>
    </item>
  </list>
</query>
</iq>

How to call this using mod restful? – Mani Kandan Jun 27 '16 at 09:15
THis needs to be implemented from client side. So, say If A wants to block B then it should send from A to B. But if you still wish to use it from backend then u can use send_stanza method from mod_admin_extra. – Hare Kumar Jun 27 '16 at 10:25
Could you send me the syntax please ? ejabberdctl send_stanza kandan localhost – Mani Kandan Jun 27 '16 at 11:01
ejabberdctl send_stanza kandan localhost " " – Mani Kandan Jun 27 '16 at 11:31
what do u mean nothing worked out? Did u check the record in mnesia against the user? Btw I guess u have to use send_staza_c2s method. – Hare Kumar Jun 27 '16 at 12:13

For admin side you can send stanza using send_stanza_c2s command.

Syntax

ejabberdctl send_stanza_c2s Username Host Resourceid Stanza

block stanza:

<iq type='set' id='block123' from='user1@abc.com'>
     <block xmlns='urn:xmpp:blocking'>
        <item jid='user2@abc.com'>
        </item>
     </block>
</iq>

Example

ejabberdctl send_stanza_c2s user1 abc.com 69890942764773790857148098 "<iq type='set' id='block' from='user1@abc.com'><block xmlns='urn:xmpp:blocking'><item jid='user2@abc.com'></item></block></iq>"
