problem integrating with jabberd2

[JB]

I'm trying to use PyYIMt (yahoo-transport-0.4) with xmpppy-0.4.1,
though I'm not sure that the problem is transport-specific. Here's
what happens at startup:

[...]
DEBUG: sasl ok Got challenge:realm="jabberd-router",
nonce="jBqCtJcXBUUaJ/5jpbLqZg==", qop="auth, auth-int", charset=utf-8,

ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack
auth return: None
Could not connect to server, or password mismatch!

It doesn't look like it's getting to the point where it authenticates
with the jabberd2 router. I briefly added a self.DEBUG right before
the 'pair.split' call in question, which is what printed out the
'pair=>>...<<' lines. Looks like some sort of disagreement between the
re.findall call on line 176 of auth.py and the jabberd challenge.

PyYIMt config.xml follows:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<pyyimt>
<jid>yahoo.localhost</jid>
<!-- <compjid>yahoo1</compjid> -->
<!-- <confjid>chat.yahoo.localhost</confjid> -->

</pyyimt>

jabberd2 version is v2.1.20. If I need to post any of my jabberd2
config, please let me know what's relevant.

thanks,
Jeff

jabberd2 version is v2.1.20.

Apparently jabberd2 now adds spaces into the SASL strings, try this patch:

Helps if I test it first, this should work better:

Hello Norman,

Am facing the same issue. Am not able to figure out how to edit the
auth.py with the changes. I make the required changes in xmpppy-0.4.1
auth.py and after that the yahoo transport refuses to load. Would be
highly obliged if you can guide me how to get the changes done. Or if
you can paste the auth.py here i can replace that file on my config.

Thanks a lot

Regards
Vishal

You can download [1] the latest copy from the web cvs page [2].

Hi Norman

Thanks a lot for that. But still not able to get it working. Am on my
wits end on this.

Running jabber on win environment. pymsnt and pyaimt are working fine.

pyyimt directory has xmpp and curphoo subdirectorys. am able to
trigger yahoo.py successfully and also the xmpp and curphoo
initiations..the compiled py files are created. that means jabber is
interacting succefully with pyyimt

mydomain.com is configured to the IP of the server directly.

Following log..it still indicates host-unknown

ThreadProcessXmppTransportConnection: Processing XMPP transport
connection from 202.134.186.109...
202.134.186.109: <?xml version='1.0'?><stream:stream xmlns="http://

Also in the config.xml i have tried configuring mydomain.com and the
IP as the server..still the issue remains.

Following is my config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<pyyimt>

<!-- This file contains options to be configured by the server
administrator. -->
<!-- Please read through all the options in this file -->

<!-- The JabberID of the transport -->

<!-- The component JID of the transport. Unless you're doing
clustering, leave this alone -->

<!-- <compjid>yahoo1</compjid> -->

<!-- The public IP or DNS name of the machine the transport is
running on -->
<!-- This is used to select the outgoing IP address used to
connect to the Yahoo! network -->
<!-- otherwise known as the vanity address, it's safe to leave it
commented -->
<host>mydomain.com</host>

<!-- The name of the transport in the service discovery list. -->

<mainServer>mydomain.com</mainServer>

<!-- The JID of the main Jabber server -->

<!-- SASL username used to bind to Jabber server. -->

<!-- Allow users to register with this transport -->

<!-- Allow users to use the Yahoo! chat rooms with this transport
-->

<!-- Use external component binding. -->
<!-- This dodges the need to manually configure all jids that talk

<!-- Wildfire as of 2.6.0 requires just this. -->
<!-- <useComponentBinding/> -->

Kinldy help me out

Either disable saslUsername or enable useComponentBinding and useRouteWrap.

Hello Norman,

Hats off..You are a genious!!!!..It works like a charm. Appreciate
your help on this.

Hello Norman,

Any chance of getting a Gtalk transport done on python? That would be
great as it would allow jabber to coummunicate to Gtalk.

You want an xmpp/jabber transport. There are already two threads on
this list referring to the idea. There's an xmpp transport written in
perl which you could use.

Hi Norman

Thanks for the inputs. Tried that. Cant seem to get it working at all.
checked your threads on that also. a python based transport would be
really handy.

Would request one more favour. Am trying to connect to icq via pyaim-
t-0.5. user is able to register properly and get the following spool
file

- <xdb>
- <aimtrans xdbns="aimtrans:data">
<logon id="437984829" pass="XXXX" />
</aimtrans>
</xdb>

That means the user is getting registered on the network. But somehow
that doesnt work. I mean the user cant see his icq buddies nor can he
chat. Even after registration on the local jabber sever the user is
shown offline.

Kindly do help me out.

Regards
Vishal

yep it would, but there's little motivation for anyone to start one, because of the two existing ones.

I think you should start a new thread about this topic, undoubtedly people that can assist won't notice otherwise.

Hi Norman

Thanks for your inputs. It seems both of them have issues and people
are not able to get it working.

Thanks once again for your inputs.
