== Allow XMPP login even if diaspora account is closed == | |||
Diaspora has a [https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/blob/develop/Changelog.md#new-maintenance-feature-to-automatically-expire-inactive-accounts default setting] to close accounts that have been inactive for 2 years. At the time of writing, there seems [https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/issues/5358#issuecomment-371921462 no way] to reopen a closed account. This also means that if your account is closed, you will no longer be able to login to the associated XMPP service as well. Here we discuss a workaround to get access back to the XMPP account. | |||
The prosody module [https://gist.github.com/jhass/948e8e8d87b9143f97ad#file-mod_auth_diaspora-lua mod_auth_diaspora] is used for diaspora-based XMPP auth. It checks if <code>locked_at</code> value in the <code>users</code> table of diaspora db is <code>null</code> [https://gist.github.com/jhass/948e8e8d87b9143f97ad#file-mod_auth_diaspora-lua-L89 here] and [https://gist.github.com/jhass/948e8e8d87b9143f97ad#file-mod_auth_diaspora-lua-L98 here]. If your account is locked, it will have the <code>datetime</code> value that represents the date and time at which your account is locked. Setting it back to <code>null</code> will let you use your XMPP account again. | |||
-- Replace <username> with actual username of the locked account | |||
UPDATE users SET locked_at=NULL WHERE username='<username>'; | |||
NOTE: Matrix account won't be affected even if the associated diaspora account is closed because it uses a [https://pypi.org/project/synapse-diaspora-auth/ custom auth module] which works differently. | |||
