Error message

[Veronica Bark]

Hi David,

Yes all of us are allowed to use Pidgin so that could not be the issue!

No I am not able to access AIM

Yes I am using  Pidgin 2.10.4 (libpurple 2.10.4)

The message received is vbark- disconnected- Error requesting https://api.screenname.aol.com/auth/clientLogin: Unable to connect to api.screenname.aol.com: SSL Connection Failed

I am not sure what OS I am using!?

The connection to internet cannot be the issue as said, several of my colleagues are using Pidgin??

Many thanks in advanced!

Veronica

As a lot of questions on this list are from Oracle employees having problems accessing Oracle's internal , XMPP based, instant messaging system, could you first confirm that you are really intending to access AOL's AIM service for personal use?  (Questions about the Oracle system should be directed to Oracle's IT people.)

My first guess would be that the office firewall doesn't permit access to AIM.  However:

Are you able to access AIM using AOL's official AIM client, from the same machine?

Are you using Pidgin 2.10.4?

What messages appear in the debug window?

Which OS are you using?

Are you connecting to the internet:

- from a home broadband connection;
- from a mobile phone (many mobile companies block instant messaging);
- from a machine on the company network (many companies block instant messaging for security or time wasting reasons).
