I am using Smack 4.1.1 in my Android app and I am getting the following exception - 

05-19 21:38:31.141    8330-8803/test W/SASLError﹕ Could not transform string 'bad_auth' to SASLError

This is my current login code - 

public void login(String username, String password) throws IOException, XMPPException, SmackException {

        XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration config = XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder()
                .setUsernameAndPassword(username, password)
                .setHost(SERVICE_NAME)
                .setPort(5222)
                .setServiceName(SERVICE_NAME)
                .setSecurityMode(ConnectionConfiguration.SecurityMode.disabled)
                .build();


        mConnection = new XMPPTCPConnection(config);

        mConnection.connect();
        mConnection.login();

        mChatManager = ChatManager.getInstanceFor(mConnection);
        mChatManager.addChatListener(this);
    }

I have tried to use Plain SASL mechanism -

SASLAuthentication.registerSASLMechanism(new SASLPlainMechanism());

And also tried the following code too

    SASLMechanism mechanism = new SASLDigestMD5Mechanism();
    SASLAuthentication.registerSASLMechanism(mechanism);
    SASLAuthentication.blacklistSASLMechanism("SCRAM-SHA-1");
    SASLAuthentication.unBlacklistSASLMechanism("DIGEST-MD5");

All of them doesn't work.

I am able to successfully use the same server to iOS(using XMPPFramework) and on WPF (using S22). I have also used it in pidgin to test. It works fine everywhere, so I am sure I am missing some essential step in authenticating in smack. How can I know which is the correct way of logging in to the specified server?

  • Could you post your exact code for this snippet, including the try-block? – y0da May 21 '15 at 00:31
  • @y0da My actual code is a lot complex which spans to several classes since the login method can not be called in main UI thread. I can't post everything. But I am sure this is the problem region. – 0xC0DED00D May 21 '15 at 13:07
  • @noob have You found a solution? Got the same problem... – Opiatefuchs Jun 03 '15 at 06:11
  • @Opiatefuchs That was due to entering wrong password all the time. I did debug the code later and found out, after I tried changing the server. The value of password was not going correct to the Authentication part. I hope this will help. – 0xC0DED00D Jun 09 '15 at 11:15
  • @noob u got any solution for this?? – PankajAndroid Aug 19 '15 at 11:34
  • @PankajAndroid The password was wrong. The code to enter the password was not correct. Debug your code too, your password might be wrong. – 0xC0DED00D Aug 19 '15 at 12:15

"bad_auth" is not a defined SASL error as per RFC 6120 § 6.5. SASL Errors. Tell the vendor of the used XMPP server to fix that.

  • Well that doesn't solve the issue. Undefined error is still an error. I got the server working with other frameworks. Is there anything I can do to make it work using Smack? I just have the web admin panel access to it. Btw it's eJabberd if that matters. – 0xC0DED00D May 19 '15 at 20:00
  • There is no issue to solve. You would get an exception either way. – Flow Jun 09 '15 at 12:34
