Thanks Daniel. FYI it tanked somewhere around 2200 UTC yesterday (Aug 4). aMSN (Linux) can’t connect either, so you’re not alone. For some reason Pidgin still works.
Any updated on this, I have 50+ msn users that want to kick me around the building
=) I’m in the process of building the update right now actually.
Atta boy !
Ill take you to heaven, I hate msn junkies … theyre killing me
Mine have all been on Webmessenger today, oh am I popular !!

Regarding a fix for earlier versions that work with 3.4.5, yeah, I would recommend upgrading to a newer version of Openfire. You are also welcome to try upgrading the jml.jar file in plugins/gateway/lib to the latest version from java-jml.sf.net, but I make no guarantees that that will work. =)
All is working good now …
thanks for the prompt response, much appreciated
people love me again
Thanks, the upgrade works great.
Thanks again.
Thanks for the quick fix, and thanks for the jml.jar suggestion, I did as you suggested and it’s working fine so far ! I’ll report back if there are any problems, in case others need to try the same fix.
Hi
I was running 3.5.0 and applied IM 1.2.3a but I still get the same issue of the MSN service saying “You were disconnected from the MSN service.”
Thinking the new IM gateway would only work with 3.5.2 I upgraded Openfire but still the same issue.
What logs from the server posted here would help ?
Regards
Dan
I think you should uninstall previous ver first.
Delete the gateway.jar and gateway folder manually from /usr/local/openfire/plugins and try again.
Hope it helps.
Thanks but that didn’t resolve. I can run the ‘test’ in the gateway settings which is sucessful. I can run MSN client through the same proxy server successfully. The openfire server has unrestricted access to the internet via the proxy server.
This is the debug log. I’ve replaced my MSN login with mymsnlogin@hotmail.com

Daniel,
I realise this is a bit old but I’m getting the following on 1.2.4d on Openfire 3.6.0a. Account works fine in MSN Messenger. I’m on Mac OS X.

I don’t really have any idea where to go net on this?
Stefan
Any news by now ?
The issue referred to in this thread was fixed before 1.2.4 even came out. (was the last 1.2.3 release) Other login issues I have not been able to see or reproduce for myself. There is some SSL related issue going around which I’ve yet to see a good correlation as to what’s causing it. I just don’t have enough info to go on right now, especially since it’s not happening to me. =/
How can I be of assistance ?
Daniel,
I just turned off SSL and have the same issue. I am open to helping any way I can to get this fixed, I can make my server available if needs be. I really need a little guidance on how I can help you to solve this for me… if you follow that!
Stefan
Turned off SSL? How did you do that? The openfire server settings (client ssl connections and such) shouldn’t affect MSN connections. What version of java do you both have? What OS?
Sorry Daniel - assumed by “There is some SSL related issue going around” you meant SSL from Jabber client to server. My mistake.
imac:~ stefan$ java -version
java version “1.5.0_13”
Java™ 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_13-b05-237)

Appreciate your kind assistance - Stefan
I’m having the same kind of problem starting from last saturday when I decided to upgrade to 3.6.0, my users are loving me 
But I have a strange thing to report: I’m on linux, ubuntu 6.06, with Java 1.6 (Java HotSpot™ Client VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode, sharing)) and while waiting for this issue to be understood and solved, I tried to install and configure the EMail Listener plugin, linking it to my local cyrus imap server.
Well, if I told the plugin to use SSL, debug.log was telling me it could’t find SimpleSSLSocketFactory.
After reading this discussion, and your message, I wondered if the same problem was affecting IM, and grepped the debug logs:
2008.09.20 19:01:47 MSN: Exception occurred for r.maurizzi@xxxxxxx.it : java.net.SocketException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jivesoftware.util.SimpleSSLSocketFactory
2008.09.20 19:01:47 MSN: IO error: java.net.SocketException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jivesoftware.util.SimpleSSLSocketFactory
So I was thinking: maybe somewhere in the installation of OpenFire 3.6.0 on linux the libraries are not correctly installed? Or maybe something on my platform (ubuntu 6.06) or my installation procedure or installed product is causing it to misbehave?
HTH,
Roberto
