Description Störm Poorun 2010-09-16 20:51:51 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

Hyves (http://hyves.nl) is a very popular social network in the Netherlands, attracting over 15 million users.

It has an IM chat service (called Hyves Kwekker) which is based upon XMPP/Jabber.

The API is documented here: http://trac.hyves-api.nl/wiki/APIChat

Pidgin and other clients tested currently work with it, Hyves also provides a desktop client (including a linux version).







Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Set up a Jabber account via Kopete.

2) Enter a hyves account using the following settings:

Username: user@hyves.nl
override default server information - selected.
Server: 94.100.119.196  Port: 5223 (without SSL: 5222)
Allow plain text password authentication - selected.
Tried with and without SSL.
Resource: Kopete Priority: 6

3) Ensure IM is not disabled on Hyves.nl via chat account settings.

3) Attempt to connect.


Actual Results:  
If SSL is enabled Kopete tries to connect, and nothing happens, it just shows it is continuously trying to connect.
If SSL is not enabled for the account an error dialogue box appears stating:
"The password was wrong. Please re-enter your password for Jabber account user@hyves.nl"
Upon re-entering the (correct) password, the same error occurs.

Expected Results:  
Kopete should connect correctly to Hyves Kwekker chat service via XMPP.

Perhaps this is related to the legacy XMPP protocol authentication mechanism currently used in Kopete as described in:

Kopete in svn has updated xmpp libiris library. Please test Kopete version from svn if this problem is fixed.
