Conversations cannot log in to ejabberd - error in stream

gb flag

The ejabberd server I'm configuring has the following configuration for certfiles and for the port 5222. Gajim, Psi and Pidgin can connect fine. Conversations cannot. There's some stream error.

ejabberd's log shows

2021-07-15 16:15:01.459 [info] <0.381.0>@ejabberd_listener:accept:273 (<0.649.0>) Accepted connection 88.88.88.72:65069 -> 192.168.7.5:5222```

For Gajim, besides a line like the one above, it has two more when opening the connection:

2021-07-15 16:16:10.465 [info] <0.651.0>@ejabberd_c2s:process_auth_result:268 (tls|<0.651.0>) Accepted c2s SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication for test1@myserver by mnesia backend from 88.88.88.72

Part of the ejabberd's config file is:

certfiles:
  - "/usr/local/etc/ejabberd/certs/myserver.pem"
  - "/usr/local/etc/ejabberd/certs/myserver.key"

    dhfile:
      "/usr/local/etc/ejabberd/certs/c2s_dh2048.pem"

I've also tried commenting out the ciphers and no_ssl*, no_tls* but to no avail.

The ejabberd server is running not at the gateway but in a LAN location with port forwarding enabled.

What is wrong between Conversations and ejabberd?

ru flag
tls: true
starttls: true

Those options are mutually exclusive. starttls is usually set at port 5222, and tls at port 5223.

And looking at the tls option documentation:

Enabling this option implicitly disables the starttls option.

So, you enabled tls on port 5222, which is a bad idea... together with starttls, which is another bad idea.

Simply, set tls to false or remove that line.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
