[1.4.5] Jabber and sasl

[uweiss]

Hi,

I try to get Jabber notifications to work, but always get this error under Monitoring => Action:

receiving error [6][101]

Output of debug log:

JABBER: sending message
JABBER: connecting as [email protected]
JABBER: stream error
JABBER: server disconnected
JABBER: disconnecting
JABBER: receiving error [6][101]
End execute_action()
Error sending alert ID [12]

Then i tried a bit to execute iksroster directly on command line.

Without encryption / sasl:

/usr/bin/iksroster [email protected]

Seems to work, no error.

With encryption / without sasl:

/usr/bin/iksroster [email protected] --secure

Works too, no error.

With sasl / without encryption:

/usr/bin/iksroster [email protected] --sasl

Does not work. Error:

iksroster: stream error

Same error as seen in the debug log of zabbix_server.

Turning both on returns the same error.

I know that the admins of the jabber server i use have turned off sasl authentication because of some problems they have with it.

I saw a post of Alexei where it wrote that it should not use sasl if it is not available. But i think it still tries to use it and fails. So i need a way to turn sasl of. Can that be done in the configuration somehow or is a change i the source necessary to turn it off?

Thanks a lot
Urs

Now had a look into the source code and saw that using of sasl ist hardcoded in "jabber.c".

I made a patch to disable sasl. But it's so simple that you also can change that by hand before compiling zabbix (change a "1" into a "0"...):

Open the file "src/libs/zbxjabber/jabber.c", go to line 440 (in 1.4.5 / or search the use of the function "connect_jabber") and change the "1" into a "0".

Would be nice to have that configurable in users media preferences.
