Cannot Login to Pidgin after changing Passwords

[David Woolley]

It's never possible to log in to Pidgin, as Pidgin is a just a client 
that sends log in requests to a server.  The server belongs to your 
company, not to anyone associated with this public mailing list, or the 
pidgin software.  We can only guess what it is, and have absolutely no 
control over it.

Standard response to the Oracle users whose misdirected problem reports 
accounts for about 50% of the traffic on this list:


We are advised that people within the Oracle network can use 
<http://my.oracle.com/site/git/1591/index.htm> for more information; for 
outsiders, like us, it just redirects to the public home page.

Please explain to whoever should be supporting you why you went to the 
wrong place, and suggest how they could fix that in future.
