I am getting the following error on Pidgin 2.10.10-3.fc20 (libpurple 2.10.10).

How can I force it to accept an invalid certificate?

(According to this bug report it should be capable).

Here's what I have done:

  • visited the domain on Firefox, and exported the certificate
  • imported the certificate on Pidgin tools->certificates
  • Imported the certificate on seahorse (gnome keyring GUI)

I having difficulty setting up pidgin to work with my company's microsoft 365's communicator lync 2013 (not 2010) account.

I either receive a message stating authentication failed, or Incompatible authentication scheme chosen: NTLM depending upon the user agent values used from this wiki

It appears that both the user agent values that start with UCCAPI provide authentication failed error, which I'm guessing is "closer" to the solution.

I have triple checked that the password is correct.

Below are some images of my settings (I have changed the company name to "company" for annonymity.

I am running pidgin with a script in order to fix a write error issue:

export NSS_SSL_CBC_RANDOM_IV=0
pidgin -d

I am also using the latest version of SIPE (1.10.1) by using this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~aavelar/+archive/ppa

What settings do I need to change/add to get it to work?

I use "Pidgin" on Ubuntu instead of Yahoo Messenger, and i recently noticed that when i am offline and somebody writes me, "Pidgin" won't show it to me as offline messages, or when i write to my friend by "Pidgin" while my friend is offline, he won't get my offline messages either, and i didn't see an option to see conversation history. how can i fix these 3 problems?

I have searched around the net for a solution to my problem. I gave myself an account user name for facebook so I could use the chat in Pidgin 2.10.3. However, no matter what I do, Pidgin refuses to enable the account and it gives me the same message:

[email protected]/Pidgin disabled Not Authorized

I used the tutorial on at this blog: http://poppleit.com/how-to-howto-use-facebook-facebookchat-facebook-chat-with-pidgin-instant-messenger-14-07-2012/#comments
