Hello All , Pidgin version : 2.6.1 ( libpurple 2.6.1)
Connecting to my server using XMPP protocol . Problem : On version 2.6.1 , When i create my account , under advanced settings we are advised usually to check/enable "require SSL/TLS" to connect to our server since our server supports only SASL authentication Mechanism . When we choose (check) "allow plain text Auth over unencrypted streams" we wont get connected . Now on pidgin version 2.7.3 , If i do the same operation "allow plain text Auth over unencrypted streams " i am able to connect to my server. As per my understanding plain text authentication Mechanism is not supported . Questions: 1) what does "allow plain text Auth over unencrypted streams " exactly Means ? Does it mean we supply username/passwd in clear text to server ? or its kind of again a SSL mechanism option? 2) What is there is difference between pidgin 2.6.1 and 2.7.3 when we have the same settings in place ? One is trying to connect while other is not ? This will help us to correct the setting on our server if it is really alllowing for plain text or is it a bug ?
