Description Christian Weiske 2015-11-23 21:43:46 UTC 
After upgrading my ejabberd server from version 2.x to 15.09, empathy on ubuntu 14.04 (3.8.6-0ubuntu9.2) did not connect anymore to the server. I got a "login failed" message.

The empathy-debugger logs showed three advertised login mechanisms:

    * mechanisms xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-sasl'
        * mechanism
            "PLAIN"
        * mechanism
            "X-OAUTH2"
        * mechanism
            "SCRAM-SHA-1"

After disabling X-OAUTH2 with

> disable_sasl_mechanisms: ["digest-md5", "X-OAUTH2"]

in ejabberd.yml and restarting the daemon, empathy started to connect again.

I think empathy should simply skip unknown login mechanisms.
