If 2.7.7 didn't fix the issue, gathering and posting a debug log would
be helpful in this situation.
On 11/27/2010 2:50 AM Colin.T <[email protected]> said unto David
Woolley <[email protected]> and pidgin <[email protected]>:
Further to my eMail concerning "Authentication failure" problem with
Pidgin (v2.7.5), as appended.
I took note of your upgrade advice of v2.7.7 of today's date, which
alleges to have overcome the SSL Certificate issue(s)
that causes the Authentication failure.
However, after downloading, installing v2.7.7 and rebooting, I am
disappointed to find that the Authentication failure problem
has not been resolved.
Ultimately and in desperation I uninstalled Pidgin, [cold] rebooted,
defragmented and then [cold] rebooted again before reinstalling Pidgin
v2.7.7. However, all that didn't
make any difference, I still receive the "Authentication failure" ErrMsg.
Furthermore, I used Internet Explorer (IE) (not my default browser) to
log in to and out of my mail server believing IE may issue the
appropriate SSL Certificate, but that didn't solve the problem either.
I also used my default web browser, Mozilla Firefox, to access my
eMail server, but without any success either.
Sincerely,
Colin S. Tonks

This is actually going to be the problem that Microsoft have just
introduced with SSL certificates and to which nearly every posting
relates.
Try logging into your email id website directly, in a browser, then
log out from there and then start pidgin.

Are there any known problems with Pidgin (v2.7.5)?
Since yesterday morning, 19 November 2010, I have not been able to
Enable my installation of Pidgin,
it shows "Unable to authenticate: Authentication Failure".
I have un-installed the application, cold re-booted, defragged and
cold re-booted again
before reinstalling Pidgin v2.7.5. However, that did not resolve the
problem, it still can not authenticate. There have been no
O/S (XP Pro, SP3) modifications or Malware present (Avast, Spyware
Terminator, Ad-Aware, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware,
Spybot-Search & Destroy, Spyware Blaster and Super Anti-Spyware ...
with only Avast and Spyware Terminator running in real-time).
Cheers Colin.
