I'm wondering if anyone could provide some insight into an issue we started
seeing a few months ago. We use JOscarLib to push sysadmin notifications from
an application server and noticed a few months ago that they stopped working.
Looking at the logs, we see that the password for the account we log into is
being rejected by AIM. We verified the password on the AIM account (and
verified we can log into it using AIM software). This leads me to believe that
AOL may have changed their encryption algorithm a few months back. I did a lot
of searching on the net, but couldn't find any mention of this.
Is anyone else having connection issues?
Thanks!
Eric
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I guessed as much when I saw the code comments in the AutorizationRequest
class about the horribly weak ICQ encryption. But I couldn't find any
documentation on the net on what AOL uses for an encryption scheme.
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Hi !
It is possible. OSCAR protocol supports more than one encryption algorithm.
However JOscarLib supports only the weakest...
I understand this is a big issue for your application. I'll start working on
it ASAP.

Great news! Thank you.
