Problem fixed. The ejabber certificate file was not in the right format. Once I put domain cert + key + Intermediary cert in the file, that problem was fixed. One related issue: When I ran the example.py code on MeeGo, the client bailed out with "Cert_Untrusted" error. It took a while for me to figure out where to put the CA certificate on the client machine (had to go through the changelog file to get this info!). For the benefit of others, the location is:/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt -PC <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 1, 2011 at 2:54 PM, Paddy Carman <<a href="mailto:paddy.carman@gmail.com" target="_blank">paddy.carman@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi All, I'm able to successfully create Text channel with the example in <a href="http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/doc/book/appendix.source-code.python_iface_messaging.example.py.html" target="_blank">http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/doc/book/appendix.source-code.python_iface_messaging.example.py.html</a>. I modified my ejabberd config to use a certificate that I purchased for my domain. I also added the "require-encryption" option and set it to "True" for the RequestConnection call. When I try to connect, all I get back is a "Disconnected!" message. I further found out the "Reason" to be set to 2 (Network error). I'm able to connect to the same server with Gajim (TLS enabled). Can someone let me know what modifications are needed to the python-telepathy example in the above link to successfully create a TLS connection to the server? Thanks in advance, PC </blockquote></div>
