# xmpp_component This component will connect to ejabberd and act as a subdomain "service" of your primary XMPP domain (in that case localhost). This component does nothing expect connect and show up in service discovery. To be able to connect this component, you need to add a listener to your XMPP server. Here is an example ejabberd configuration for that component listener: ```yaml listen: ... - port: 8888 module: ejabberd_service password: "mypass" ``` ejabberd will listen for a component (service) on port 8888 and allows it to connect using the secret "mypass".
