I started getting that same error on some of my linux desktops a few days ago. I tracked it down to a mozilla-nss update that seems to have broken pidgin SSL connections to OpenFire XMPP server.
We're using pidgin-2.10.10 but recompiling 2.10.11 from source still has the problem. Forcing pidgin to use gnutls library instead is a workaround. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Maher" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2015 1:27:13 PM Subject: Pidgin: SSL Handshake Failed Hi, I've recently downloaded Tails 1.4.1, and whenever I try to connect to the Tails chat ' [email protected] ' I get the message SSL Handshake Failed, or ERROR: Closing Link (No more connections permitted from your host). I would really appreciate any help at all. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
