Hi,

Just wondering, will my messages be encrypted if i talk while on facebook
itself or does it have to be done through the actual pidgin application?

Thanks

Pidgin for windows server

2014-06-05 Thread Brian Henson
I am trying to integrate Pidgin into our office network. We have one user that 
uses a server as their workstation. When trying to setup Pidgin on the server 
it appears to install correctly, but I cannot see any of the other users on the 
network.

I am using the Bonjour protocol.

Is the server in the same broadcast area as the workstation?

If you aren't using pidgin then pidgin isn't involved...

So is your question Does Facebook encrypt IMs?? If so, the answer is 
that Facebook may use HTTPS consistently or they may not, but they 
definitely have access to decrypt your IM traffic for their internal use.


While there might be plug-ins that allow you to encrypt locally before 
sending text, these will only work if both sides use the same technique, 
so no, your text won't be encrypted if one side is using a potentially 
unencrypted endpoint like Facebook's own interface.


I hope this helps.

Also potentially interesting, is this server multihomed? Does it connect 
directly to the internet and provide access for other internal users?


If so, does anyone know how or if Bonjour works with multihomed servers? 
I vaguely recall that it has some issues.

For whatever it's worth, assuming you have a Surface Pro there's nothing 
inherently interesting about your device being a Surface, it should 
just work, and troubleshooting would be the same as any other Windows 
computer.


What service? You might want to try the debug logs to see if they yield 
any interesting results.
