Custom Authentication error message

[sylver]

Hi,

I'm wondering whether we can customize our own "login error message",
rather than relying XMPP4MOZ's alert that displays "XMPP: Error during
authentication"?

Sameplace uses the "connector" object to verify account when we setup
an account using the wizard. Might that be the way?

Thanks :D

At present, it is not possible to replace the "XMPP: Error during
authentication" message (from xmpp4moz).

I submitted a patch a few days ago which would let you do this, however
(and would also give you the specific SASL error type (
http://xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc3920.html#rfc.section.6.4 ) and optionally a
predefined message for it based on the explanation in the spec.

So, in my modified version (assuming Massimiliano likes to keep the way
I implemented it), you'd be able to do something like this:

channel.on (
{
event : 'connector',
state : 'sasl-error'
},
function (el) {
var condition = XMPP.getSASLFailureCondition(el.info);
if (condition === 'temporary-auth-failure') { //
Handle a specific type of SASL error message in a special way
alert('Temporary authorization failure for
'+el.account+'; try again later.');
}
else { // Use the default message
alert(XMPP.getSASLFailureMessage(condition));
}
XMPP.close(el.account);
}
);

Thanks for your fast reply :D

this update is not in version 2008121119 yet? Can't seem to make your
sample code to work.

cheers.

It's not in any version yet besides my own local copy... It's just a patch--i.e., Massimiliano will need to look at it to decide whether he will accept it as is, change it, etc.

best,
