Description Xavier Bachelot 2013-06-27 13:44:46 UTC
Description of problem:
I upgraded from f18 to f19 this morning. Since then I can't connect to an xmpp account. I get a 'Not Authorized" error. The same account on the same machine was working before the update. I configured the same account on another machine still running f18 and it can connect as expected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pidgin-2.10.7-2.fc18 works.
pidgin-2.10.7-2.fc19 doesn't.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install pidgin-2.10.7-2.fc19
2. configure an xmpp account
3. enable account

Actual results:
"Not Authorized"

Expected results:
Connect and chat away...

I reproduced the issue on yet another computer. the xmpp account was connecting properly before going from F18 to F19, but wasn't after.
However, I cannot reproduce this with another account on another xmpp server so this is not something specific to the xmpp protocol, but likely to the authentication on some xmpp servers.
Another point, I tried to reproduced with kopete, but it worked for both the version from F18 and F19.

Comment 2 Xavier Bachelot 2013-07-01 09:38:30 UTC
Fixed the issue by installing cyrus-sasl-scram.

Comment 3 Jan Synacek 2013-07-01 10:44:13 UTC
Hello Xavier,

are you sure that this worked in F18? There is no 'cyrus-sasl-scram' before F19.

I'll add the package to Requires to prevent this from happening again.

Comment 4 Xavier Bachelot 2013-07-01 11:52:30 UTC
Yes, I'm sure it was working in F18. I haven't checked the changelog and commits for cyrus-sasl, but there is a possibility the cyrus-sasl-scram sub-package is new with F19 and contains a subset of what was previously in the main cyrus-sasl package. As such, it would rather point at an issue with cyrus-sasl package, but adding the cyrus-sasl-scram or /usr/lib/sasl2/libscram.so.3 require to libpurple for F19+ is the correct fix/workaround for this issue.

Comment 7 Xavier Bachelot 2013-07-01 12:03:00 UTC
Thanks Jan. I will provide karma when the package hits updates-testing.

The cyrus-sasl commit that introduces the scram subpackage is this one :
