SASLErrorException: SASLError using DIGEST-MD5: not-authorized while using Smack 4.2

Question

I am trying to make a simple chat application. I have been researching about this and found smack library. For this,i downlaoded all the libraries and installed the openfire server in my computer and created few users in it for testing. I could finally connect to the server but then I am getting log-in failures. I tried to login using the same username from the spark and it works fine. I am getting errors on SASL authentication. Need some help.

These are my imports:

import org.jivesoftware.smack.AbstractXMPPConnection;
import org.jivesoftware.smack.ConnectionConfiguration; 
import org.jivesoftware.smack.SmackException; 
import org.jivesoftware.smack.StanzaListener;
import org.jivesoftware.smack.XMPPException;
import org.jivesoftware.smack.filter.StanzaFilter;  
import org.jivesoftware.smack.filter.StanzaTypeFilter;
import org.jivesoftware.smack.packet.Message;
import org.jivesoftware.smack.packet.Presence;
import org.jivesoftware.smack.packet.Stanza;
import org.jivesoftware.smack.roster.Roster;
import org.jivesoftware.smack.roster.RosterEntry;
import org.jivesoftware.smack.tcp.XMPPTCPConnection;
import org.jivesoftware.smack.tcp.XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration;
import org.jxmpp.jid.Jid;

These are my parameters:

public static final String HOST = "192.168.1.114";
public static final int PORT = 5222;
public static final String SERVICE = "192.168.1.114"; // i dont know if its right.. 
public static final String USERNAME = "test";
public static final String PASSWORD = "test";

This is the code:

 public void connect()
  {
    final ProgressDialog dialog = ProgressDialog.show(this, "Connecting...", "Please wait...", false);

    Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            // Create a connection
            //    ConnectionConfiguration connConfig = new ConnectionConfiguration(HOST, PORT, SERVICE);
            Log.v("checking", "011");

            XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.Builder connConfig = XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder();
            connConfig.setSecurityMode(ConnectionConfiguration.SecurityMode.disabled);  // enabled gives me SSL certificate authorization errors...
            connConfig.setUsernameAndPassword(USERNAME, PASSWORD);

            try {

                Log.v("checking", e.toString() + "1");
            }
            connConfig.setHost(HOST);
            connConfig.setPort(PORT);
            connConfig.setDebuggerEnabled(true);


            AbstractXMPPConnection connection = new XMPPTCPConnection(connConfig.build());

            try {

            dialog.dismiss();
        }
    });
    t.start();
    dialog.show();
}

This is a snippet from the logcat:

Your client is trying to authenticate with the realm "192.168.1.114", while the server only offers the realm "bahadurxxx". That's not going to work. You should either set SERVICE to "bahadurxxx" or change the server's hostname to "192.168.1.114".

Each XMPP address has a domain, like example.com in user@example.com, just like with email. This is the domain you must authenticate with and the address you'll use for your own server over XMPP. However, the XMPP server does not necessarily need to run on example.com, it may be that the server is actually on xmpp.example.com. SRV records are one way to indicate that example.com lives on xmpp.example.com instead.

In Smack, .setServiceName() sets the XMPP domain that you want to use (no surprise that it has been renamed to .setXmppDomain()). .setHost() can be use as another way to indicate that you want to use xmpp.example.com.

Thank you very much, sir. Also, what exactly am I supposed to user for the service name or, more precisely, what is a SERVICE? — Sumit Bahadur, Aug 03 '15 at 14:38
