Facebook chat using java, smack and PLAIN authentication

Hi,

I am trying to develope a simple chat application in java for facebook chat.

I am trying to authenticate using the PLAIN mechanism but getting an error:

SASL authentication PLAIN failed: not-authorized:

Here’s the code I am using:

        else

            response = sc.evaluateChallenge(new byte[0]);
        //String authenticationText = "";
        Packet responseStanza;
        //if(response != null)
        //{
            //authenticationText = Base64.encodeBytes(response, 8);
            //if(authenticationText.equals(""))

//the error is at connection.login(username,password) line.

For google chat, the PLAIN authentication went smoothly and just the username and password was enough. But that does not suit facebook I guess.

Basically I am looking for a sample code upon which I can base my code. If that will be too time consuming, I request you to guide me with any help and suggestions possible. Thanks.

You are using DIGEST-MD5 in your code. Last time I checked, Facebook didn’t support it.

For PLAIN mechanim, you need a TLS connection. Otherwise FB will return a not-authorized.
