Getting Non SASL Authentication issue using XMPP

Question

I am implementing a chat application for which I have an Openfire Support as the backend and using Asmack version 8-0.8.9 to implement it. However I am facing an issue of Non SASL Authentication during login and I get "No Response from Server" in the message. In addition, I am also facing an issue that whenever the app is in idle state for few minutes (without performing anything) my session gets removed from the openfire and I get disconnected.

This is how I am connecting to openfire and then performing login:

AndroidConnectionConfiguration  connConfig = 
new AndroidConnectionConfiguration(HOST, PORT,SERVICE);
connConfig.setDebuggerEnabled(true);
connConfig.setReconnectionAllowed(false);
connConfig.setRosterLoadedAtLogin(true);
connConfig.setSASLAuthenticationEnabled(false);
connection.connect();
connection.login(Uname,Password);

In most of the cases this is working fine but randomly it gives me an error during login i.e. No Response from server with Non-SASL Authentication message.

What am I doing wrong? Let me know if you require any other detail for the same.

Thanks in advance!

You have to make sure that you included all necessary jar's.

Depending on you dependency management system, you have to add it differently, but make sure to include smack-sasl-javax, smack-java7 and smack-resolver-javax.

With maven it would be:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.igniterealtime.smack</groupId>
    <artifactId>smack-sasl-javax</artifactId>
    <version>4.1.6</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.igniterealtime.smack</groupId>
    <artifactId>smack-java7</artifactId>
    <version>4.1.6</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.igniterealtime.smack</groupId>
    <artifactId>smack-resolver-javax</artifactId>
    <version>4.1.6</version>
</dependency>

And make sure that you are verifying the server certificate.

This can be done with 'setHostnameVerifier(XMPPHostnameVerifier verifier)' and 'setCustomSSLContext(SSLContext context)'.
