DJabberd Integration with AIM and MSN

[Erik Osterman]

Thanks for this pointer. I have set it up, but got stuck. I configured 
pyAIMt to use a MySQL xdb. Set the ports/secrets/jim/etc... in the 
config.xml. The DJabberd server gets the connection from the pyAIMt server.

DEBUG DJabberd.Component.External              Accepting connection from 
component aim.myhost.com
DEBUG DJabberd.Connection.ComponentIn          Making a 
DJabberd::Connection::ComponentIn for fd 10
DEBUG DJabberd.Connection.ComponentIn          New connection '1' from 
127.0.0.1
INFO  DJabberd.Component.External              Shutting down listener 
for component aim.myhost.com
DEBUG DJabberd.Connection.ComponentIn          Got stream start for 
component aim.myhost.com

But when I try to add the AIM account as (aim-username at aim.myhost.com), 
save, and try to sign in, it just sits there forever.

Logging the XML console from PSI, shows:

<iq type="set" id="auth_2" to="aim.myhost.com" >
<query xmlns="jabber:iq:auth">
<username>username</username>
<password>********</password>
<resource>Psi</resource>
</query>
</iq>

I see it created a file in the spool folder:
aim.myhost.com/avatars/524/5248ab7f0c7b1ed9ae99c21d6247ef5a28af5117

However, running pyAIMt.py -D doesn't show any thing, but the 
ServiceDiscovery information.

The mysql tables are all empty in the pyaimt database.

Any thing come to mind that I might have missed?


Best,

Erik Osterman
