Gaim Issues: Password Protected Rooms and Adding Buddys

This is a two part post:

 

Part 1:

I have setup a chat room from the Wildfire admin console and set a password for access.  I can connect to the chat room with the Spark client and get prompted for a password.  When I connect using Gaim v1.5.1cvs I do not get prompted for a password and thus, cannot join the room.

 

Part 2:

It seems as though in order to add a Buddy in Gaim, you have to tack on the Resource at the end of the screen name for the user you wish to add, if they are running Gaim as well.

 

For example:

 

User-B is a Gaim client.  If User-A adds a buddy called user-b@server.com, User-B never shows up as Authorized.  BUT, if User-A adds a buddy called user-b@server.com/Gaim, it works just fine.

 

Any way to fix either of these to issues???

 

Thanks,

Clay

Re: Gaim Issues: Password Protected Rooms and Adding Buddys

On Part 2 the same applies to GAIM 2.0b3.  I also end up with duplicate entries due to the dialogs related to giving authorization to communicate and add the other user to the buddy list.  It should only happen once when prompted to add the user to the buddy list.  It isn''t pretty but I think that''s a GAIM issue. I also noticed that if the User A enters an alias for their ID it is not transmitted to the User B when entered added to the buddy list.  User B still has to add the alias name manually.

 

I haven''t tried part 1 yet to see if it happens to me with 2.0b3.

Hey Clay,

 

I would highly recommend contacting Gaim developers and let them know that Gaim is not asking for a password when trying to join a password protected room. This is a client issue and not a server issue. Clients may either send a disco#info to the room to learn the room configuration and act accordingly or just try to join and if a not-authorized is returned then just ask for a password.

 

Regards,

Re: Gaim Issues: Password Protected Rooms and Adding Buddys

Gaim has a password entry on the "Join a Chat" screen in 1.5 release. Is it still there in the CVS?

 

I''m not sure about adding a buddy by ID without resource. It may be something to look into.
