Sun Java System Instant Messaging - Using email ID to authenticate user on httpbind
HI ,
We are using JWChat as client with httpbind on SUN IM Server.
We have setup users on the directory LDAP with email id as login id
for e.g 'myname@hotmail.com'
when I pass the user details for authentication its sent as
myname@htmail.co@mydomain.com where mydomain.com is the IM server domain.
This isnt working, need help to make it work. Do we need any settings on IM server.

I am not sure if jwchat supports xep 106 encoding (which is necessary to support this).
That being said, sun's im server/client does not support xep 106 as of now.
The update 1 to R5 release which should be released soon has support for it.
There is a server(and client) side flag to enable this (though disabled by default for backward compatibility).
So, if jwchat supports xep 106, you would be able to work fine with update 1 of R5.

I dont think the JWchat client supports xep-0106, any clue what we can do on clients to enable this encoding ?Also, any expected date when the next release ?

Hi,
If jwchat does not support xep 106, then what users can do is to enter their user id's using the encoding as specified by the xep.
It will unfortunately be a bit cumbersome for endusers I think - the transformations would be as given here http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0106.html#encoding - not too tough for clients to handle, not very easy for endusers to handle.
If I am not wrong, R5 update1 would be out sometime end of April/May.

Exactly, that is how it should be done.
Btw just to add, space is not allowed in the domain - so I assume the jid will be "myname\40somedomain@IMserver".
The im client that ships with the product will support this if enabled as java property.
The client also supports xep124 for talking xmpp over http : which is the same standard jwchat uses. (ofcourse, this is a standalone java client unlike jwchat, so might not be useful for your needs),
