Description marc 2011-10-04 07:29:42 UTC 
Open empathy
Press F4 to add an account
Click on the + to add an account
Choose Jabber as a Protocol
Enter login ID test@test

The apply button will stay greyed out until you have a username with test@test.com for example.

The username shouldn't require the tld.

On a side note, is it possible to modify a file to set the username outside of the GUI?
Comment 1 Michael 2011-10-04 16:16:20 UTC 
I can confirm this.
Comment 2 Guillaume Desmottes 2011-10-12 14:23:45 UTC 
IIRC the XMPP spec, "test@test" is not a valid JID.
Comment 3 marc 2011-10-12 14:31:37 UTC 
In the company I work for, they are using openfire, our usernames don't have a .org, .com, .whatever because I don't see why they would, these are only on a private network. Perhaps the XMPP spec should be amended or shouldn't be followed?
Comment 4 Guillaume Desmottes 2011-10-12 17:45:48 UTC 
Looks like you're right if I understand http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6122#section-2.1 correctly.

I suck at regexps, if one is interested fixing this that's JABBER_USER_NAME in libempathy-gtk/empathy-account-widget.c
Comment 5 marc 2011-10-13 19:21:53 UTC 
The following will do the job:
#define JABBER_USER_NAME  "[^@/]+@[^@/]+"

I'm sorry but I don't feel like going through the process to contribute as described there: http://live.gnome.org/Empathy/Git
