2.1.* and ldap

matticus · August 18, 2005, 1:52am

It doesn’'t look like there has been a resolution to this issue, so I thought I would post some more information. Our JM 2.2.0 Windows server began exhibiting the same behaviour (previously we only had 3 users and I just added about 10 more). This morning I download the JM 2.2.0 RPM and set it up on a Fedora Core 4 server. I have tested the connection with GAIM v1.3.1, Pandion v2.1.1, and Exodus v0.9.1.0 (our typical client). We are not using SSL, but we are using LDAP, pointed at our Windows Server 2003 Active Directory.

Pandion seems to connect, but then it just hangs with a “One moment please…” and no groups are populated. GAIM connects and shows groups that it cached previously. Exodus connects but hangs indefinitely at the “Authenticated. Getting Contacts…” message. I have tried using the internal database, but currently I am using a SQL Server 2000 database. Other than this, my environment is about as plain vanilla as it gets.

The only error that seems to show up, both in the Error log and stdout / stderror is the following:

btw… as far as our Active Directory is concerned, I am pointed at a box that is setup as a Global Catalog, but I am hitting the normal LDAP (TCP / 389) port, instead of the GC port. I feel pretty confident that this is ok, because the user manager shows me all the accounts in our Users OU (approx. 300).

Hmmm, from a quick glance, I’‘d say that the hyphan isn’‘t allowed. Please read http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3454.html for more information as to what’'s a proper JID should contain. The error is being thrown from this code:

if (contains(s, RFC3454.C1_1) ||

contains(s, RFC3454.C1_2) ||

…

contains(s, NODEPREP_PROHIBIT))

{

// Table C.9 only contains code points > 0xFFFF which Java

// doesn’'t handle

throw new StringprepException(StringprepException.CONTAINS_PROHIBITED);

}

this shouldn’'t be related to ldap.

I am definitely using LDAP / AD for users. Does this mean that because our domain has a hyphen in it, we will be unable to use any XMPP applications?

FYI, as a sanity check, I configured JM and Exodus to use the local hostname (without the domain / hyphen) and I still get the same issue on the client, with the following error:
