Pidgin-otr can't authenticate irssi-otr user on irc #20

Closed DrWhax closed 11 years ago

DrWhax commented 11 years ago

From the otr-dev list:

So we did find one interop issue. It seems an irssi user and a piding user cannot authenticate each other. We tried using shared secret, and I tried on the pidgin side using question&answer (but I'm not sure if the person on the irssi side had that option or confused it for "secret")

I can't reproduce this issur with pidgin-otr and irssi-otr...

Commit d1d044ae5ebec934a3434a865a451d8c7e754351 fixes the communication when using bitlbee.

Closing this since I don't have a way to reproduce it or any detail information.

Reopening since we're not sure if it's still broken or fixed, i'm installing the latest version of irssi-otr + pidgin-otr to test things out.

I've just tried, and pidgin-otr 4.0.0 doesn't cope well with irssi-otr. I mean that I see the authentication problem, on Q&A.

dgoulet commented 11 years ago

Can you detail the issue(s)? I did most of the dev. work using pidgin-otr v4 so this is unexpected.

Thanks!

I've just tried pidgin 2.10.7, and the shared secret + Q&A worked for me. I had tested 2.10.6 before. So maybe it's a 2.10.6 issue.

I also noticed that it works quite slower than I expected, but with 2.10.7, all fine!

The flood control of irssi is quite aggressive so the authentication is quite slow if you down bring that down.

I'm on 2.10.6 (Debian wheezy) and the auth is fine... let's keep this open for now because there seems to be an issue here but the why is pretty much unknown.

Ok, I went back to 2.10.6, and all seems fine. Now I can't remember if it was me losing the patience waiting for the auth to finish. Sure I expected it to be almost immediate, so that could have been the source of my confusion.

Closing this one up since it's been a while we've seen this one and I can't reproduce it here with my testing. I use pidgin-otr for a lot of testing and right now can't reproduce it.

We'll reopen if this is issue is encountered again!
