hi, I have two questions about authentication and logging mechanisms ... * When you log into jabber, presence requests (of 'probe' type) are sent to your buddies. In order to know if these buddies exist, jabber sends an 'auth:get' request to the xdb module and forces it to send the userPassword of the buddy to jabber. could not it be possible to do that in another way ? for instance, to add a sort of 'auth:check' request which will just test the existence of the user ? * I use 0k auth method but Jabber always starts by doing 'auth:get' requests (instead of 'auth:0k:get' requests) to the xdb module when I log into Jabber (and if auth:get request is successfull, it will make the auth:0k:get request). so my userPassword is always transmitted in clear text ... I tried to remove the auth namespace (and just leave the auth:0k ns) but then Jabber thinks I do not exist ... thanks in advance for your answers, Benoit. -- Benoit Orihuela IDEALX S.A.S. _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
