[[Database management system]]s supported include [[PostgreSQL]] and [[MySQL]], and [[ODBC]] is supported for connectivity to other systems. [[Lightweight Directory Access Protocol|LDAP]] authentication is supported, as is login via [[Transport Layer Security|SSL/TLS]], [[Simple Authentication and Security Layer|SASL]] and [[STARTTLS]].

ejabberd is [[extensible]] via modules, which can provide support for additional capabilities such as saving offline messages, connecting with [[Internet Relay Chat|IRC]] channels, or a user database which makes use of user's [[vCard]]s (saving vCards in LDAP or an ODBC compatible database is possible with other modules). In addition, modules can provide support for extensions of the XMPP protocol, such as [[Synchronous conferencing|MUC]],<ref>[http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html XMPP.ORG, "XEP-0045: Multi-User Chat"]</ref> HTTP polling, Publish-Subscribe, and gathering statistics via XMPP.

Starting with version 2.0.0 ejabberd also includes support for the ''Proxy65'' file transfer proxy which enabled Jabber/XMPP users behind firewalls to share files through a [[SOCKS]] 5 proxy.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0065.html | title=XEP-0065: SOCKS5 Bytestreams | date=2007-05-21 | publisher=[[XMPP Standards Foundation]] | access-date=2008-03-11}}</ref>

ejabberd can communicate with other XMPP servers and with non-XMPP [[instant messaging]] networks as well, using a special type of XMPP component called transport or gateway.
