I was writing a perl script the other day which connects to my Openfire XMPP server and does some stuff (listening for incoming messages, etc.).

When I started my perl script it always failed with the error message:

ERROR: Authorization failed: error - not-authorized

After re-checking the password and username it still didn’t want to work.

In the end I found out that the the perl Net::XMPP SASL authorization doesn’t want to play with the SASL implementation in Openfire.

Modifying the Protocol.pm of Net::XMPP can help to solve this problem. Open this file and comment out these lines (at line ~1800):

if($self->{STREAM}->GetStreamFeature($self->GetStreamID(),"xmpp-sasl"))
{
    return $self->AuthSASL(%args);
}

After this little tweak Net::XMPP should talk to Openfire without grumbling.
