Hello,

With this configuration:

    <settings>
      <setting name='check-mail' type='bool'>0</setting>
      <setting name='connect_server' type='string'></setting>
      <setting name='bosh_url' type='string'></setting>
      <setting name='old_ssl' type='bool'>0</setting>
      <setting name='auth_plain_in_clear' type='bool'>1</setting>
      <setting name='require_tls' type='bool'>1</setting>
      <setting name='ft_proxies' type='string'>proxy.eu.jabber.org</setting>
      <setting name='use-global-buddyicon' type='bool'>1</setting>
      <setting name='custom_smileys' type='bool'>1</setting>
      <setting name='port' type='int'>5222</setting>
    </settings>


Here the logs:

Why pidgin 2.6 force a sasl authentication when the configuration ask
for a plaintext authentication.
It works well with tkabber and pidgin <2.6.
