How to connect to StudiVZ - MeinVZ - SchuelerVZ XMPP (Jabber) Services via !BitlBee

StudiVZ decided to release experimental support for XMPP connections from outside clients.

Server

jabber.vz.net (studiVZ - meinVZ)
jabber.schuelervz.net (SchuelerVZ)
- Port: 5222
- Port: 5223 - SSL support

StudiVZ uses E-Mail Adresses as Login. Using bitlbee with SchuelerVZ requires
a slightly modified E-Mail in order to work properly.

The @ in your Mail is to be substituted for a \\40.
So frank@gmx.net => frank\\40gmx.net

SchuelerVZ

frank\\40gmx.net@schuelervz.net

(The @ in your E-Mail address will be substituted with an \40)

StudiVZ/MeinVZ

frank\\40gmx.net@studivz.net

(The @ in your E-Mail address will be substituted with an \40)

Here are some Tweaks for creating a nicer overview: * Tweaks

Adding the account:

In the following example we are using the login credentials:

Username/E-Mail: frank@gmx.net

Password: password

   1 00:44:31 <@dynamite> account add jabber frank\\40gmx.net@vz.net password
   2 00:44:31 <@root> Account successfully added
   3 00:44:32 <@dynamite> account list
   4 00:44:32 <@root>  0 (jabber): jabber, frank\40gmx.net@vz.net
   5 00:44:32 <@root> End of account list
   6 00:44:51 <@dynamite> account 0 set server jabber.vz.net
   7 00:44:51 <@root> server = `jabber.vz.net'

   1 00:51:43 <@dynamite> account 0 on
   2 00:51:43 <@root> jabber - Logging in: Connecting
   3 00:51:43 <@root> jabber - Logging in: Connected to server, logging in
   4 00:51:43 <@root> jabber - Logging in: Converting stream to TLS
   5 00:51:43 <@root> jabber - Logging in: Connected to server, logging in
   6 00:51:43 <@root> jabber - Logging in: Authentication finished
   7 00:51:43 <@root> jabber - Logging in: Authenticated, requesting buddy list
   8 00:51:43 <@root> jabber - Logging in: Logged in
   9 00:51:43 -!- _6ffa2f97a209391b [6ffa2f97a209391b@vz.net] has joined &bitlbee

The nickname problem:

Like facebook onsite chat StudiVZ also uses different usernames (alphanumeric), when first connecting.

This is also to be fixed by setting the nick_source account setting to full_name.

account X set nick_source %full_name

Where X is the ID of your connection.

You will have to reconnect this account afterwards.

   1 00:53:43 <@dynamite> account 0 set nick_source full_name
   2 00:53:43 <@root> nick_source = `full_name'
   3 00:53:48 <@dynamite> account 0 off
   4 00:53:48 <@root> jabber - Signing off..
   5 00:53:51 -!- Netsplit ayu.openroot.de.local <-> vz.net quits: +_6ffa2f97a209391b
   6 00:53:51 <@dynamite> account 0 on
   7 00:53:51 <@root> jabber - Logging in: Connecting
   8 00:53:51 <@root> jabber - Logging in: Connected to server, logging in
   9 00:53:51 <@root> jabber - Logging in: Authenticated, requesting buddy list
  10 00:53:51 <@root> jabber - Logging in: Logged in
  11 00:53:51 -!- PeterParker [6ffa2f97a209391b@vz.net] has joined &bitlbee
  12 00:53:51 -!- ServerMode/&bitlbee [+v PeterParker] by ayu.openroot.de.local
  13

Wohoooo! We have proper nicknames!

Tweaks:

Adding a Suffix/Prefix to the usernames lets you keep track of users on different connections:

account X set nick_format %full_name[VZ]

   1 01:34:47 -!- PeterParker[VZ] [6ffa2f97a209391b@vz.net] has joined &bitlbee
   2 01:34:47 -!- ServerMode/&bitlbee [+v PeterParker[VZ]] by ayu.openroot.de.local

Now all our StudiVZ accounts can be recognized by a trailing [VZ]
