[jdev] customized authentication not working

[andrew]

Hi there,

I've searched through the archives and found some details pertaining to my 
problem, but couldn't find follow up posts to some peoples questions.

I'm trying to write a component that adds one more step to the 
authentication process.  Along with the user/pass, I want to send a version 
number of the client that I'm using.  If the version number isn't acceptable 
(ie. older and not supported) I want to return an error.

In my jabber.xml I've added the xml for my service and used 
<auth>mycomponentname</auth> in order to have my component receive auth 
notifications.

I'm using Perl and Net::Jabber and can get the component to successfully 
work with the server (handshake is successful), but I can't get my component 
to handle any jabber:iq:auth messages.

I've tried using both of these methods to trap the message, but neither work 
(I am not using both at the same time)...

$component->SetCallBacks(iq=>\&iqCB);

$component->SetIQCallBacks("jabber:iq:auth"=>{ set => \&iqCB });

I've added some debug statements to the callback functions, but they never 
show up.  I see the jabber:iq:auth message in the debug info for the 
component wrapped in a <route> tag.  This is some of the output from the 
debug statements of the component...

NJ::Component: CallBack: sid(426D77B0) received(<route from='18 at c2s/8123D70' 
oto='user at host' to='versioncheck' type='auth'><iq id='j0' type='get'><query 
xmlns='jabber:iq:auth'><username>user</username></query></iq></route>)

NJ::Component: CallBack: sid(426D77B0) received(<route from='18 at c2s/8123D70' 
oto='user at host/Resource' to='versioncheck' type='auth'><iq id='j1' 
type='set'><query 
xmlns='jabber:iq:auth'><username>user</username><resource>Resource</resource><digest 
sid='426D77BF'>###digestvalue###</digest></query></iq></route>)

This also appears which seems to be why authentication halts (freezes) on 
the client side...
NJ::Component: CallBack: a packet that no one wants... how sad. =(

Does anybody have any ideas?  Thanks.

Andrew
