Problems with connecting to Facebook XMMP MD5-DIGEST

Hey, I’m having a real trouble connecting to Facebook chat via asmack… with smack 3.1 i could connect by using the MySASLMD5DigestMechanism that a member posted here, but since I can’t use javax.security on a Android environment I needed to use the asmack lib, that as a built in SASLM5DigestMechanism. Whenever I try to use it i get a no class found exception… this is my code for connecting

import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import org.jivesoftware.smack.ConnectionConfiguration;
import org.jivesoftware.smack.SASLAuthentication;
import org.jivesoftware.smack.XMPPConnection;
import org.jivesoftware.smack.XMPPException;
import org.jivesoftware.smack.sasl.SASLDigestMD5Mechanism;

/**
*

  • @author Pedro
    */
    public class Main {

/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {

SASLAuthentication.registerSASLMechanism(“DIGEST-MD5”, SASLDigestMD5Mechanism.class);
ConnectionConfiguration connConfig = new ConnectionConfiguration(“chat.facebook.com”);

XMPPConnection connection = new XMPPConnection(connConfig);

try {
connection.connect();
connection.login(“BentoElGaton”, “UwishUknew:P”);
} catch (XMPPException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Main.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}

this is the result of build and run…

run:

Please help, since I don’t understand anything about security, thanks

I’m working on desktop with the asmack lib…

Well, I found out that to use asmack on a desktop environment you need some classes of the android jdk… But now i’m on android using asmack connected to facebook via DIGEST-MD5 and it work flawlessly… you just need to add the line

SASLAuthentication.registerSASLMechanism(“DIGEST-MD5”, SASLDigestMD5Mechanism.class);

and the mechanism embedded on the asmack does the trick by itself =) no need to fancy code tricks

Has anyone actually gotten this to work on the Android?

I did with asmack…

I think my problem is that my sessions are not persisting between activities, authenticate with facebook in my main activity and then I go and try to xmpp authenticate in another activity.

Did you have to use the git facebook sdk to actually allow offline permissions first?

He said he got it to work with MD-5 not X-Facebook-Platform.

Is yours with X-FACEBOOK-PLATFORM? If so I’d definitely like to see the code…

With MD-5-Digest, it works flawlessly.

I am trying to get it work anyway I can. MD-5 Digest is not working for me at all. I get a request failed every time. im using the 05.07 build of the jar and the code is really straightforward

ConnectionConfiguration config = new ConnectionConfiguration(“chat.facebook.com”, 5222, “chat.facebook.com”);
myConn = new XMPPConnection(config);
config.setSASLAuthenticationEnabled(true);
config.setDebuggerEnabled(true);

myConn.connect();

//username is straight username- no @gmail.com and no @chat.facebook.com

//password is my password

myConn.login(username,password);

Log.i(“XMPP”, myConn.getHost() + “,” + myConn.getServiceName());

Do you guys see anything that I am doing wrong?

I used your file, and I get the challenge but when I construct a response to to the challenge keeps failing, I have set permissions as well. Everything seems ok, but I’m obviously making a mistake somewhere. Can you please help me? I’m coding on java, for android…

A sample application would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Hello alexryd,

sorry my English :slight_smile:

I created a chat for Android, the mechanism using X-FACEBOOK-PLATFORM. Using the library as access http://github.com/facebook/facebook-android-sdk. So until a few days ago, works great. Remove the secret from a json object that was attached to the successful response with the access token. The ‘secret’ password in the past as FacebookConnectSASLMechanism class.

Now unfortunately this object json disappears. Is no longer present in the successful response. Maybe facebook has changed something.

How can you get this secret? I tried but does not work with application secret. Could you help me? I’m in trouble :slight_smile:

Thanks

it worked awesome!..but a great prob is the users online are not visible…though i’m receiving their presence “available”…it seems my code is not appropriate…here’s a snap of it…eagerly waiting for reply…

thanks in advance…

public void grabBuddyList()
{
Roster roster = connection.getRoster();
Collection entries = roster.getEntries();

        System.out.println("\n\n" + entries.size() + " buddies:");
        for(RosterEntry r:entries)
        {
        System.out.println(r.getUser());
        }
}

hi everyone! I’m using this api for Processing (java based) and i want to know if there’s allready a simple sollution for this? Processing uses libraries and i’ve allready connected to G-talk. Could someone give me a hint? There’s some code between it for an Eliza bot.

here’s my code:

here’s some debug info:

Hi @Kees,

If you can connect to gtalk then you shouldn’t have any issue connecting to facebook using digest-md5. Just make you sure you have a proper facebook user ID (not your email address). You can get your username by logging into facebook and looking under account settings there will be something called “Username”.

try something like

test@chat.facebook.com

password

server should be - chat.facebook.com

port - 5222

i get this:

ASL authentication failed using mechanism DIGEST-MD5:

I’ve allready got a username and inserted this

hello kees…i had this problem just a few days ago…now i have solved it & my app is working too fine!

u dont need SASL md5 for google.U need it only for facebook.here’s the code snippet:

try
{

if(frameName==“Facebook”)
{

SASLAuthentication.registerSASLMechanism(“DIGEST-MD5”,MySASLDigestMD5Mechanism. class);

config = new ConnectionConfiguration(“chat.facebook.com”,5222);
config.setSASLAuthenticationEnabled(true);
config.setRosterLoadedAtLogin (true);
}
if(frameName==“gTalk”)
{
config = new ConnectionConfiguration(“talk.google.com”,5222, “gmail.com”);
config.setSASLAuthenticationEnabled(false);
config.setRosterLoadedAtLogin (true);
}

}

catch(Exception ex)

{ex.printStackTrace();}

////ur code proceeds

if u do ur code in jcreator or netbeans u have to include this jar SASLin ur project.

may be u need to add this:

config.setSASLAuthenticationEnabled(true);

this reply is intended for PEDRO!

Yup, that definantly worked… THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! YOU SAVED MY PROJECT

then u should have liked it ! lol! by the way what type of project is this? i worked on one a few days ago for my term completion in University!

I study art academy, Interaction Design, i’m combining a bot called Eliza(one of the first bots ever) together with facebook chat. I’m making a fake profile and let people interact with this person to check what are the results. After that i’m gonna modify the bot to an megalomaniac person and try to annoy people with it. The results i’m gonna make a book out of it.
