Hey!

Is there a way to create accounts for my current Google App Engine Account? Currently I can just use APP...@appspot.com to send and receive messages. But I still want to create my own accounts with password maybe like this

user1_...@appspot.com

Is this possible with the current GAE?

Regards,

Markus

As documented here;


Your app can use XMPP address in the following format:

anything@your_app_id.appspotchat.com 

cheers

See [1], you can use APP...@appspot.com or
ANYTHING@APP_ID.appspotchat.com. Also, there is an accepted issue to
allow xmpp on your own domain at [2], so based on current progress,
that should be ready in 8 to 10 years.

Hey!

This is not an option. I need no accounts on the backend. I need it as client.. so that I can use it in native clients like trillian or psi.

I want that a use myuser@APP-ID@appspot.com can use APP...@appspot.com as a jabber server and they should connect via a native client like PSI or Trillian...


ANYTHING@APP_ID.appspotchat.com is just another use of the backend account APP...@appspot.com

You can't do what you are trying to do with App Engine. I'm not sure
exactly what you are trying to achieve, but you can have a look at the
links below, otherwise you would need to host your own xmpp server.
