Description Ghislain Vaillant 2013-09-08 18:38:18 UTC

Description of problem:

A Facebook account can be successfully linked with GOA, but Empathy still fails to connect and throws a Athentification failure popup. Since the bug fix update of telepathy-gabble pushed as a result of bug #1004325, Facebook works if the account if linked from Empathy directly, instead of using GOA. 

How reproducible:

Tried on 2 computers running up-to-date Fedora 19 x86_64, 100% reproducible.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open GOA, Settings -> Online Accounts
2. Link your Facebook Account
3. Launch Empathy

Actual results:

A pop-up warns about the athentification failure. None of my Facebook contacts is shown in Empathy. 

Expected results:

My Facebook contacts should be shown in Empathy.

Additional info:

I have no other account sync'd besides Facebook. Again, Facebook works if GOA is bypassed and the account is sync'd directly from Empathy.

I can confirm this bug on another computer running up-to-date Fedora 19 x86_64. Facebook chat works if the account is configured from within Empathy, but authorization fails for Facebook accounts configured using GOA. Google+ and Windows Live accounts are unaffected.

Same issue here.

Comment 3 Debarshi Ray 2013-09-18 11:36:42 UTC

It doesn't work with Ubuntu/UOA/Empathy either. I am guessing something broke
at Facebook's end.

That is because when you are using GOA it is using a different SASL mechanism -- namely X-FACEBOOK-PLATFORM [1]. Otherwise you are using DIGEST-MD5.
