Summary: Allow to configure server and username domain separately

Initial Comment:
In our company, we have the following setup:

The jabber server: chat.example.org
The username: [email protected]

Unfortunately, this is impossible to enter in the Saros account configuration 
GUI. When I enter "chat.example.org" and "user", the user name becomes 
"[email protected]", and the server refuses the connection. When I enter 
"chat.example.org" and "[email protected]", the user name becomes 
"[email protected]@chat.example.org", which is also wrong.

Maybe you could keep the simple interface and detect if the user field already 
contains an "@", in which case you don't also append the domain name.

Message:
It does not work still for Google Apps for Business.
Server = talk.google.com
Username = [email protected]
Saros uses only firstname.surname as username, stripping the @domain.com
so user cannot authenticate.

The new Saros release allows to define the username and server separately.
Could you try again?

Sorry, please ignore my last comment. I was confused by the sourceforge
change notification mail and the order of the comments.

Message:
That doesn't work because it then tries to connect to "example.org", and
that is not the jabber server. It's not related to MUC.

Message:
Good point!
Why should a server foo.bar be limited to the management of user of the
form [email protected]?
Especially because foo.bar is nothing but a DNS name.

Google is a good example: (see
http://code.google.com/apis/talk/open_communications.html)
They use the gmail account as the username ([email protected],
[email protected] or even corporate domain names like [email protected])
to connect to the XMPP server talk.google.com.

We therefore absolutely need to change the behavior of Saros as for the
moment Saros is forcing users to get a "compatible"/"supported" JID.

Message:
I didn't configure it, so I'm not in a position to change it. But believe
me, it works with all other clients (Pidgin, iChat, Pandion, Kopete), and
they all have settings windows to configure the JID domain and the server
name. See here for a random sample from the internet:

http://laibcoms.com/sandbox/configure-pidgin-for-google-talk-aamp-apps

(The JID is "[email protected]" there and the connect server is
"talk.google.com")

Message:
So you configured your server such that a JID does not identify the actual
server? In other words you make chat.example.org think that it's
example.org? I don't see why this would (should) be supported by XMPP.
Openfire seems to allow the @ character in node identifier of a JID.

I'm not an expert when it comes to XMPP, but it just doesn't make any sense
to me.

Message:
Then the server cannot be found, as the jabber server runs on
chat.example.org, not example.org. chat.example.org has MUC-Support, but
it's a normal jabber server. Other clients such as pidgin allow to
configure the server separately from the full user name.

Message:
What if you use "user" as the user name and "example.org" as the server? Is
chat.example.org a MUC server?
