Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 218741
Gaim 2.0.0-0.26.beta5 cannot connect to jabber accounts that uses old-ssl option
Last modified: 2008-03-03 09:04:41 EST
Description of problem: The latest gaim update (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=217335) fixed the crash problem. However, it cannot connect to the jabber servers that forces us to use old-ssl port (5223) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.0.0beta5.26 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start gaim 2. Create a jabber account and use "force old ssl" in jabber options 3. Login to that account. It fails. Actual results: Got "Invalid response from server" message. Expected results: It can login in beta4, so I expected it to login successfully again. Additional info:
Please do this: 1) Buddy List 2) Help 3) Debug Window 4) Then attempt a login to the jabber server. 5) Copy the relevant part from the debug window into a text file. 6) Attach that text file here. Can you find any public Jabber server that exhibits this behavior? Or could you create an account on a private server to allow gaim developers to test this?
Created attachment 151817 [details] debug log as requested This is the debug log as reque4sted from the latest gaim rpms: gaim.x86_64 2:2.0.0-0.31.beta6.fc6 gaim.i386 2:2.0.0-0.31.beta6.fc6
Created attachment 151818 [details] debug log from homebuilt gaim 2.0.0.0beta6 I built gaim 2.0.0.0beta6 from source on the same machine as the previous comment, and it connected just fine, as the attached log shows.
I have got to the bottom of this. I took the FC6 SRPM and disabled use of cyrus-sasl in the spec and rebuilt. Problem disappears.
You could probably have avoided recompiling without SASL support by installing some appropriate cyrus SASL mechanisms instead (cyrus-sasl-md5 & cyrus-sasl-plain would be a good start)
Those are installed. Yum shows: cyrus-sasl-md5.x86_64 2.1.22-4 installed cyrus-sasl-plain.x86_64 2.1.22-4 installed
I had the same results as Andrew. Connecting to our corporate Jabber server with Gaim 2.0.0-0.31.beta6 resulted in a message that said "Invalid response from server". When I recompiled the RPM without cyrus-sasl support, everything worked. Like Andrew, I also have cyrus-sasl-md5 and cyrus-sasl-plain installed. In my debug logs, I was seeing two "sasl" lines with "DIGEST-MD5 client step 2", even though the first time seemed to succeed. Unlike Andrew's logs, which show "Must see 'algorithm' once. Didn't see at all" after the second "DIGEST-MD5 client step 2" line, my logs said something like "No response from server". Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of the logs and I'd have to reinstall the broken version to get them.
This bug is no longer valid as of recent Pidgin releases. It can be closed.
