+Install an ejabberd with synchronized credentials
+=================================================
+
+* [Home](help)
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+- Change it's owner to whichever user is running the server, ie. ejabberd
+
+        $ chown ejabberd:ejabberd /path/to/friendica/include/auth_ejabberd.php
+
+- Change the access mode so it is readable only to the user ejabberd and has exec
+
+        $ chmod 700 /path/to/friendica/include/auth_ejabberd.php
+
+- Edit your ejabberd.cfg file, comment out your auth_method and add:
+
+        {auth_method, external}.
+        {extauth_program, "/path/to/friendica/include/auth_ejabberd.php"}.
+
+- Disable the module "mod_register" and disable the registration:
+
+        {access, register, [{deny, all}]}.
+
+- Restart your ejabberd service, you should be able to login with your friendica credentials
+
+Other hints
+-----------
+- if a user has a space or a @ in the nickname, the user has to replace these characters:
+  - " " (space) is replaced with "%20"
+  - "@" is replaced with "(a)"
