#5161: Pidgin sends the wrong domain to Jabber server
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
Reporter:  unacoder  |       Owner:  nwalp
    Type:  defect    |      Status:  new  
Priority:  minor     |   Component:  XMPP 
 Version:  2.4.0     |    Keywords:       
 Pending:  0         |  
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 Note:  This problem only occurs in the pre-compiled 2.4.0 binary of
 pidgin, and has been seen in both the pre-compiled windows and linux
 versions.

 Background: I operate our company's internal Jabber/XMPP server which our
 operations team uses for communication.  The problem was originally
 discovered when one of our employees was unable to login to his Jabber
 account receiving the error that he was "Unauthorized".

 Trouble shooting: After inspecting the server logs I noticed that Pidgin
 was sending the wrong domain name during the authentication process.  Our
 jabber server runs on im.<ourdomain>, and is configured with the domain
 <ourdomain>.

 The problem: The Pidgin configuration specifies <ourdomain> as the domain
 for the account, but the client is sending the full hostname of the jabber
 server causing an authentication failure.  When I upgraded my own desktop
 to Ubuntu gutsy I had the same problem logging into the jabber server.  I
 build 2.4.0 from source, and the problem went away.
