How to enable Service Discovery

Openfire Openfire Support
1

Hello people! This is my first post!

I recently installed Openfire 3.7.0 on CentOS 5.5 i386.

I can connect with my xmpp user on him with Miranda, Pidgin, Exodus and Spark, but i have a little problem.

When i try to do a search on service discovery with Pidgin, i got a message “Server does not exist”, but Spark show the msn icon and i can log in.

What could be wrong? There is any configuration to do further than enable the msn gateway?

This is the debug from Pidgin when i try to do service discovery.

<iq type=‘get’ to=‘10.0.0.252’ id=‘purpledisco32d7dee6’>

<query xmlns=‘http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info’/>

</iq>

<iq type=‘error’ id=‘purpledisco32d7dee6’ to=‘luke@serverk.luke.com/HELL’ from=‘10.0.0.252’>

<query xmlns=‘http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info’/>

<error code=‘404’ type=‘cancel’>

<remote-server-not-found xmlns=‘urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas’/>

</error>

</iq>

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I can’t answer your question (maybe Pidgin devs can). Pidgin is a cursed client It is so often that something isn’t working just with that client… Why do you want to use MSN through a gateway if Pidgin (Miranda also) has a native MSN support?

The “to” attribute contains an IP, whereas an component (a jid) should be the case. The IP could mean that you try an service discovery with an link-local xmpp connection. So I suspect you did not choose the right endpoint in the pidgin GUI for the service discovery.

This is more an Pidgin related error. I personally don’t like libpurble. To quote wroot: “Pidgin is a cursed client”. Give Gajim or Psi a try.

wroot,

I’m just testing the gateway option.

This could be interesting in a network where you don’t have access to msn/icq, and you can control who could have.

Flow,

I already tested on Psi, and still can’t see the service discovery gateways.

The only client where it “worked” was Spark, but i thing that Spark has other way to connect to Openfire and use service discovery.

What Psi version do you use? Strange, but i can’t even login with Psi 0.10 to Openfire 3.7.0. I get such output

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<stream:stream xmlns:stream=“http://etherx.jabber.org/streams” xmlns=“jabber:client” to=“wroot” >

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

test

stream:error
