I'm trying to delete user using ejabberd yet I'm receiving 400/modify bad-request error. The stanzas sent by Smack are by the spec [1] as far as I can tell; it also works fine with OpenFire.
Ejabberd runs in rroemhild/docker-ejabberd docker container version 17.03-1 (the latest available; for reasons why I am not using the processone container see [2]) with the config file being stock from there (sections removed; full copy at [3])
hosts:
- "xmppserver.com"
auth_method:
- internal
acl:
admin:
user:
- "admin": "xmppserver.com"
- "adminaccount": "xmppserver.com"
local:
user_regexp: ""
access:
(nothing of interest here)
modules:
mod_adhoc: {}
host_config:
"xmppserver.com":
domain_certfile: "/opt/ejabberd/ssl/xmppserver.com.pem"
(Yes, I will properly configure SSL once I verify it works for me)
First I confirm the user is authorised to issue admin commands:

</query>
</iq>
As you can see the delete-user command is listed as available. Then I proceed to delete a user:

Here I'm not sure what the <actions...> tag is about; it's not mentioned in XEP-133. Other than that the form looks good.

I also tried sending bare JIDs (i.e. without the hostname part) but the result is the same.
This is not a particularly helpful error message.
What am I doing wrong?
