Hi Norman,

You can try connect to our server (uct.ac.za) which has those setting (tls optional + allow self signed dialback). We also get a secure connection with jabber.org & have a thawte cert....

Hi lzby, and thanks for the reply,

    On my security settings page for server to server, I have the
    following
    option selected:

             Optional - Connections between servers may use secured
    connections.

    As opposed to:
    Required - Connections between servers always use secured
    connections.
    which is not selected.


sounds good.
    Also, there is a tickbox that I can select (not selected at the
    moment):
    Accept self-signed certificates. Server dialback over TLS is now
    available.


My cert is signed by jabber.org <http://jabber.org>'s StartCom CA. And I'm sure my testing with openssl hasn't been sending a cert at all. - Maybe try enabling the option and I can recheck to see if there's a difference?

With all my testing with openssl, jabber.co.za <http://jabber.co.za> is the only server that it fails to connect to. (and the openssl command line client is _very_ liberal with what it accepts by default)
    If I look at the list of current server to server connections, I
    have a
    list of 32 connections, two of which are using encryption
    (rivera.za.net <http://rivera.za.net>
    and jabber.org <http://jabber.org>).


I have (amongst others), encrypted connections to: jabber.org <http://jabber.org>, jabber.ru <http://jabber.ru>, and rivera.za.net <http://rivera.za.net>. Can you tell if both directions are encrypted?

    I am not sure how I can be of assistance to you, but please let me
    know
    if I can help in any way.


Being able to get hold of you is a great way to be of assistance :-)
