Hi,
i am trying to use the Chat of the German social network studivz with Kopete. It is known that they use a modified XMPP/Jabber-protocol. It works with pidgin now. It tried to set it up with Kopete, but it fails for unknown reason.
My theory is that it fails because Kopete does not handle the SSL-certificate. When I set up the account with pidgin, the first time it connects, I get asked if I want to accept the unknown certificate. After I do that, it works. Kopete never asks about that certificate. So I assume that is the problem. To verify that I want to know if there is a way to initiate communication with the XMPP-server manually and import the server-certificate into KDE. Does anyone know if this is possible and how to do this?
May be can some else try. The server is nimbuzz.com, the port is 5222/ 5223.

If you can ask Konqueror to import their certificate, it should apply to Kopete also.

That is what why tried first. But unfortunately opening the page with https://nimbuzz.com tells me the connection was rejected. So it seems like they do not operate on http with ssl. That is why I asked for another solution.

Hi,

I now have found out via wireshark that Kopete and Pidgin to totally different things with the same setting. It looks like Kopete never gets a real answer. May be the contact to the Jabber-Server is never even established.

Kopete:

Could this be a port being blocked? I have also read something about the lack out UPNP-support in KDE/Kopete causing problems. I have googled around a little, but I have not understood, what the exact problem is and how to possibly solve it. I have opened up the ports 5222 and 5223 in my router, but this did not change anything. Does anyone have an idea for a possible workaround?
