    Dead link for Arch Linux

    Are you sure your customer actually uses SfB (Skype for Business) and not Teams? I'm not aware that there are "workspaces" in SfB. Office 365/SfB and Teams are two separate things. SIPE can only talk to SfB.

  • Stefan Becker Stefan Becker posted a comment on discussion Help

    MS Teams is a completely different beast. It would not be a good idea to graft a completely different implementation onto the existing code base. 2nd thing (which I have to admit I haven't look into at all): is the MS Teams API public and documented? M$ could probably just say "we do the same thing as Slack, etc. Just use the web app...".

    ... or install a proxy on your local machine and point Pidgin to it. The proxy must fulfill three requirements it must be able to tunnel proxy request to another HTTP CONNECT proxy it must have a black or white list to decide when to pass on to the proxy or connect directly (i.e. proxying by itself) be transparent (well more transparent then the HTTP CONNECT proxy you obviously have)

  • Stefan Becker Stefan Becker posted a comment on discussion Help

    Well, if login.microsoft.com is the only address that you would need proxying for, then you could try to hard-code the name in /etc/hosts to address 127.0.0.1 and then run a proxy tunnel script on port 443 on your local machine. The tunnel would then need to talk to the real HTTP CONNECT proxy to get outside. I.e. https://login.microsoft.com:443/ -> script on localhost -> HTTP CONNECT proxy -> outside.

  • Stefan Becker Stefan Becker posted a comment on discussion Help

    Yes, the response indicates that you have an ADFS setup: <STSAuthURL>https://adfs.us.DUMMYCOMPANY.com/adfs/services/trust/2005/usernamemixed</STSAuthURL> So in your setup only HTTP would need to be proxied, which libpurple currently doesn't support. I also checked the libpurple API again and there is no programmatical way to disable proxy settings for a certain connection, i.e. so that SIPE could request no proxy for SIP connections. I don't have Pidgin in front of me, but I'm assuming that the proxy...

  • Stefan Becker Stefan Becker posted a comment on discussion Help

    Guessing from your latest log I fear the HTTP CONNECT proxy isn't transparent enough for SIP connections. The connection is dropped while the first SIP response is received: MESSAGE END >>>>>>>>>> SIP(0x16b98d0) - 2020-08-26T14:45:57.039861Z (09:45:57) sipe: transport_input_common: new buffer length 4096 (09:45:57) sipe: transport_input_common: new buffer length 8192 (09:45:57) sipe: Server has disconnected Can you post the XML response from https://login.microsoftonline.com/getuserrealm.srf?login=DUMMYUSER@DUMMYCOMPANY.com&xml=1,...

  • Stefan Becker Stefan Becker posted a comment on discussion Help

    The SIP server is probably correct now. SIPE tries to query the following URL https://login.microsoftonline.com/getuserrealm.srf?login=DUMMYUSER@DUMMYCOMPANY.com&xml=1 to determine the ADFS setup for your account. Your network prevents that. As I don't know your real email address I can't tell what the response is.

  • Stefan Becker Stefan Becker posted a comment on discussion Help

    webdir.online.gov.skypeforbusiness.us:443 is a HTTP server, that can't be the correct server. Try sipdir.online.gov.skypeforbusiness.us:443 or :5061 (unlikely though...) , both ports seem to answer. Please also set the User Agent field. I'm not aware of any Lync installation that allows non-M$ clients.

    Closing as INVALID.

  • Stefan Becker Stefan Becker posted a comment on ticket #362

    I'm taking an educated guess here: a detailed SIPE log with libnice git HEAD will show that the private IPs are no longer returned as valid candidates by libnice, i.e. they will no longer be included in the INVITE sent by SIPE when your side initiates the call. a detailed libnice log will show that the ICE handshakre requires roughly 15 seconds to determine that the private IPs are no valid candidates. IMHO your issue is solved then.

  • Stefan Becker Stefan Becker posted a comment on ticket #362

    libnice 0.1.14 is obsolete. I doubt they will act on the report unless you can reproduce it with 0.1.16 or even better git HEAD.

    libpurple API does not support IPv6, hence the code was replaced, see commit purple: update sipe_backend_transport_ip_address().

    Is there any good reason why automake has to be 1.16?

  • Stefan Becker Stefan Becker posted a comment on ticket #361

    I don't remember the exact reason, but this was part of the configure.ac cleanup for i18n tools. None of the tested platforms has an issue with that and normal users should use a prebuilt package or the release tarball, not build from git. Closing as NOTABUG.

  • Stefan Becker Stefan Becker posted a comment on discussion Help

    Yeah, log shows that you can't authenticate with that account information to Office 365. You probably have to talk to your IT admins: what kind of Lync installation do you use? Internal (i.e. on company servers) or external (i.e. Office 365)? if external: what is your account for that (your log shows that you are trying to use some internal Windows AD account for authentication, which most likely won't work, because Offcie 365 doesn't have an ADFS for the given account domain) if external: have you...

  • Stefan Becker Stefan Becker posted a comment on discussion Help

    Thanks for the log. User name and password seem to be correct, at least when trying to authenticate with NTLM against the HTTP server uccweb.ruag.com. What does not seem to work is the Lync autodiscover process. There are timeouts, that's why it takes so long (> 2 minutes according to the log). It then falls back to the old autodiscover method, which detects sips4b.ruag.com:443 as server. SIPE tries to run the authentication handshake but that fails: (11:17:42) sipe: sipe_http_parse_uri: host 'uccweb.ruag.com'...

    Sipe audio call test always fail with message: audio test service not available

  • Stefan Becker Stefan Becker posted a comment on ticket #360

    That's normal behaviour, i.e. the feature isn't available in your installation. I'm not sure if this is visible from the provided configuration information, i.e. if it would be possible to hide the menu. Jakub would maybe know. But as new feature development is on hold I doubt that it would ever be implemented. Closing as NOTABUG.

  • Stefan Becker Stefan Becker posted a comment on discussion Help

    The functionality you are looking for isn't SIPE specific. Hence you need to look up the correct libpurple DBus interface and call that in your script.

    Just to make sure: what does About SIPE plugin... say? Does it include Application Sharing in the feature list? If it does, then your description doesn't sound like a missing client, but more like a network connection that can't be established. That would point to nice/farstream/gstreamer.

    I also vaguely remember that the M$ client has some builtin magic that triggers the account migration from old contact list to UCS when the organization moves to the new system. I don't know what that magic is, hence SIPE can't trigger it. If your account is "old" and your organization moved to a newer installation then you could try to start the M$ client, login with your account and afterwards try if address search works with SIPE. If I remember correctly that should be visible in the log when...

    Thanks for the log. But the log only shows the broken functionality (i.e. SIPE tries addressbook via SIP, not EWS search), not why it doesn't use EWS. That would happen at login time, The error 488 that you see in the other (working) logs happens when SIPE tries to subscribe to the contacts list event (vnd-microsoft-roaming-contacts). The next log line will tell you no contact list available - assuming Lync 2013+ and Unified Contact Store (UCS), i.e. SIPE will switch to Lync 2013+/UCS mode. You'll...

  • Stefan Becker Stefan Becker posted a comment on discussion Help

    SfB should not use old-style address book, but EWS (Exchange Web Services). That is usually autoconfigured via setup information provided by your IT admins, but if it fails you can configure the email settings in the advanced tab by hand. F.ex. what happens if you go to the SIPE context menu and select "publish calendar"? Do you get an error message? If you can provide a detailed(!) --debug log (see FAQ) from your login process theb I can have a look what might be going wrong. Usually it is a mis-configuration...

  • Stefan Becker Stefan Becker posted a comment on discussion Help

    That is rather strange, because in Fedora's pidgin-sipe.spec it says: %package -n purple-sipe Summary: Libpurple protocol plugin to connect to MS Office Communicator License: GPL-2.0-or-later Requires: gssntlmssp >= 0.5.0 i.e. when you execute dnf install pidgin-sipe on Fedora it will automatically install gssntlmssp. Did you build pidgin-sipe yourself? I don't think pam_cifscreds has anything to do with your problem.

  • Stefan Becker Stefan Becker posted a comment on discussion Help

    On a completely different subject: M$ has announced the discontinuation of SfB-Online within the next 2 years (at least that's how I understood the announcement). I.e. after that only organizations with own Lync server installation (no idea what happens with M$ hosted Lync servers...) will be able to use SfB. That means the SIPE user base will shrink to almost nothing. I'm not sure I can justify spending considerable time developing new features knowing this.

    The pidgin 3.x branch is, by their own admission, completely borked. We won't see any progress on it until they ditch webkit1gtk and replace it with something that it is actually available/maintained on any OS. I wouldn't hold my breath though, because they knew about this for years but still haven't done anything about it. (maybe that is the reason for refusing to make a pidgin 2.x release: a concerted effort to unbork the pidgin 3.x branch e.g. by switching to webkit2gtkX)

    Partial fix available in git commit d005dafc. Unfortunately there are more build errors, but not from SIPE code itself.
