Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Simon Wilkinson (sxw) >Assigned to: Nathan Walp (faceprint) Summary: Jabber Cyrus SASL code should have optional passwords Initial Comment: Some Cyrus SASL mechanisms, such as GSSAPI, can operate without passwords. However, just making passwords optional for the Jabber protocol breaks those mechanisms which _do_ require passwords. This patch implements an on-demand password prompter. It switches the Jabber protocol to make passwords optional, and then adds code to prompt for passwords as they are required by the various mechanisms. There is a small change to the Gaim core to expose the password prompter function. The code takes advantage of the fact that if a password callback isn't registered with Cyrus, it won't attempt to use any mechanisms that require passwords. So, if we don't have a stored password, we don't register that callback, and try to start a SASL session. If we don't have any mechanisms available, or all of the available mechanisms fail, we prompt the user for a password before trying again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300235&aid=1668289&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
