Hi,
thank you for the nice application :)

There is an ICQ server slogin.oscar.aol.com that supports secure SSL connection. It would be good for Kopete to support it.
Among existing ICQ clients Pidgin has an SSL support for ICQ and is able to connect to slogin.oscar.aol.com.

Could we change the bug title to read "Allow SSL Login to AIM and ICQ" since it is applicable to both?  Additional information: the port for this type of login is apparently 5190.

AIM/ICQ SSL login is supported by iChat, Pidgin (http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/5366), and Adium (http://trac.adium.im/ticket/9553).  Would be great to see this included in Kopete so that we can secure our logins as well as our messaging (the latter via the Off-The-Record plugin).

Is there any update on this feature request?

Comment 4 Ralf Jung 2010-11-16 20:16:21 UTC

I agree, encryption should be used where possible.

Comment 5 ietc 2010-11-18 20:08:40 UTC

With the apparent changeover to the new ICQ login server, probably resulting from AOL's sale of ICQ to Digital Sky Technologies, it's possible that SSL logins will no longer be possible; we'll just have to see if they work in the future.

Meanwhile, since AIM should be unaffected, I have opened Bug 257272 as a request for SSL logins if you have AIM accounts.
