Miranda can no longer log onto Jabber server

(1/2) > >>

weblurker:
Hello.

I just updated to version 0.91.1 build #24543 (aaae8eb5eb). I noticed during the update process that the Jabber module was updated.

When Miranda tries to log into the Lightwitch.org Jabber server, the below error message stacks up on the right side of the screen:

JB:Error 4:00pm
policy-violation
text:Exceeded max failed authentication attempts,
bye.

Edit: I was able to tell a friend about the problem with the update and Jabber. He didn't allow the update to occur and he's still able to log onto the Jabber server. So the problem doesn't appear to be with the server.

weblurker,
well, the problem in fact is related with server, but I see... gotta comment out that code till the server will be updated

PS: 0.96.1 updated, you can update your Miranda

dartraiden:
Miranda recently received Channel Bindings for TLS 1.3 support. The server declares TLS 1.3 support but cannot use this security scheme for login. So it is a server configuration error.

I propose to remove this support from the stable version (it was ported there by accident) and make an option in the development version that disables it for such buggy servers.

Also you can report about this situation to the server owner.

It turns out that's not the only problem with the Lightwitch server.

https://aria-net.org/SitePages/Portal/Contact-Us.aspx

You have to solve a captcha before an email is sent to Lightwitch support  and the contact page always reports that you've failed to properly solve the captcha.
So at the moment, it's impossible to contact anyone at Lightwitch through the contact page.

FWIW, according to the Lightwitch blog, they upgraded their system around June 2.

dartraiden:
Done. 0.96.1 updated and should connect without problem. 0.96.2 will require to disable "Use TLS 1.3 bindings" option.
