Can't login with Pidgin 2.4.2

I love the Minichat, I just wish I didn't have to start another jabber client to use it.

I installed Psi and it works fine, but Pidgin keeps telling me "Invalid certificate chain - The certificate chain presented for www.tigase.org is not valid.". That's even after I manually set the login server to www.tigase.org and clicked "Allow plaintext auth over unencrypted streams".

Btw. Psi doesn't show the nick you type in Minichat. It just shows a long string of letters that looks like some kind of uuid, but I guess you know that already.

Ohh, and also the <iframe>-tag isn't part of xhtml strict ;)

Hm, Pidgin definitely doesn't implement XMPP properly. It should look for the SRV record to detect where is the service hosted:

 $ host -t SRV _xmpp-client._tcp.tigase.org.
_xmpp-client._tcp.tigase.org has SRV record 10 0 5222 veloci.tigase.org.

So please put: veloci.tigase.org under 'Connect server'.

Yes, thats what I did. I put

Yes, thats what I did. I put tigase.org under 'Domain'.

If I put the same under 'Connect server' or just leave it blank, Pidgin just replies with "Error resolving tigase.org: Name or service not known".

First - the domain you put

  1. First - the domain you put in the XMPP (Jabber) client is tigase.org not www.tigase.org.
  2. Second - Pidgin is an excellent multi protocol client, unfortunately XMPP (Jabber) protocol is one of the worst implemented in the client. If changing the domain name as described above doesn't help then I really don't know what would help. The certificate used on the tigase.org server is provided by XMPP.net and is already recognized by all major XMPP clients. Maybe the best way would be to submit bug/feature request to Pidgin about this.
  3. Regarding the nick name. Indeed the nick name is not yet displayed. We are working on this.
