Ah, if only I had control I would do the sane thing. But I work for a huge
company (70,000+ employees) and, alas, the people who run the IT
infrastructure are a closely guarded secret, protected by an impenetrable
maze of bureaucracy and incompetence. Who can say why they set things up
this way? The IT department moves in mysterious ways...
We do have a single sign-on username/password that we can use in all
environments so perhaps that's the driver. The upshot is is that's the
environment I have to work in -- and the previous version of Pidgin did it
just fine. Maybe internally it had some issues, but as far as I was
concerned, it worked.
I'm no software engineer (well, actually I am) and I don't know much about
how the internals of these servers work (that's true, I don't really know
what a domain means in this context, or what S2S is) but it seems to me
that the server connection is one of the things that differentiates users,
not just the username and domain.
And, again, I say that in complete ignorance of how the internals if IM
actually work.
I would much rather use Pidgin over any other client, therefore I'm
lobbying for this fix so I can keep using my favourite IM client.
