Hi Dele Olajide,
For now I am using userservice plugin from May 2013 (this one which I found on igniterealtime.org).
I saw your post and I was wondering mayby you had same problem us I have now.
I downloaded your patch file but I don't know how to apply it. Mayby you have a .jar file with your change included?
Describing the problem:
http://example.com:9090/plugins/userService/userservice?
type=add&secret=bigsecret&username=kafka&password=drowssap&name=franz&email=franz@kafka.com&groups=support,finance
this is exactly what I am using. And after that when I am checking my user in Users/Groups tab this user is not asign to any group.
But if, before adding a new user I will add e.g. 'support' group manually at Openfire Admin Panel -> Users/Groups -> Groups, and after that if I will add user (using some URL) user will be asign to this group.
Don't know exactly where is the issue...
Thanks
