Puzzled by iphone connecting to ichat server

OK this will not be easy to describe, but here goes.
I have 10.6 Server and Open directory and DNS, all local on my LAN running good.
I have enabled ichat server and my user account can login to ichat server. My sons account is also logged on via Trillian on a PC and we can send messages fine.
So I log out of my account and put Trillian on my iphone, connected to my wifi network and I cant connect and see no connection attempts on the server.
My iphone using IM+ keeps stating authorisation failed and it failed because the host is invalid.
my iphone has an ip on my local Lan and has the correct DNS servers and domains.
If i do NSLOOKUP for my server the host is found by the DNS.
I am very confused can anyone help. I dont want to reload the server again !

Hi Tim,
sorry that link dosnt seem to go any where.
However, lets see if the following helps.
sudo changeip -checkhostname
Primary address = 192.168.6.199
Current HostName = macserver.kilbynet.co.uk
DNS HostName = macserver.kilbynet.co.uk
The names match. There is nothing to change.
dirserv:success = "success"
sudo serveradmin settings jabber
Password:
jabber:s2sRestrictDomains = no
jabber:authLevel = "ANYMETHOD"
jabber:savedChatsLocation = "/var/jabberd/message_archives"
jabber:dataLocation = ""
jabber:enableAutoBuddy = no
jabber:enableXMPP = yes
jabber:sslKeyFile = ""
jabber:initialized = yes
jabber:logLevel = "ALL"
jabber:sslCAFile = ""
jabber:requireSecureS2S = no
jabber:serviceMode = "CHATSERVER"
jabber:savedChatsArchiveInterval = 7
jabber:jabberdDatabasePath = "/private/var/jabberd/sqlite/jabberd2.db"
jabber:hosts:arrayindex:0 = "macserver.kilbynet.co.uk"
jabber:eventLogArchiveInterval = 7
jabber:enableSavedChats = no
jabber:s2sAllowedDomains = emptyarray
Let me know if that helps.

  • Hotmail iphone connection to the server failed

    Still no definitive answer for all circomstances on this issue : "hotmail iphone connection to the server failed"
    Situation:
    iPhone 5 iOS 6 updated
    Mail setup for Hotmail using MS Exchange preset to see Hotmail folders
    Setting worked ok for a week
    Set to gather all mail, not just last 3 days, weeks, months.
    Yesterday the problem started, Mail won't connect.
    It's not a firewall problem, I tried on 3G and LTE connection with WFI off.
    I also tried a Yahoo preset and it work. Also Safari works fine.
    I deleted the account, shutdown iPhone, restarted, created new account
    Trial 1:
    Click Settings
    Click Mail, Contacts, Calendars
    Click Add account
    Click HOTMAIL preset
    Click Add Mail Account
    Here you enter your hotmail address + password and click NEXT
    Switch off the phone and switch it back on
    Try to access your mail as usual from the MAIL icon on your desktop, got the message "connection to the server failed"
    Trial 2:
    Click Settings
    Click Mail, Contacts, Calendars
    Click Add account
    Click MS EXCHANGE preset
    Click Add Mail Account
    Here you enter your hotmail address + password and click NEXT
    Switch off the phone and switch it back on
    Try to access your mail as usual from the MAIL icon on your desktop, got the message "connection to the server failed"
    Trial 3:
    Click Settings
    Click Mail, Contacts, Calendars
    Click Add account
    Click OTHER
    Click Add Mail Account
    Here you enter your hotmail address + password and click NEXT
    Switch off the phone and switch it back on
    Try to access your mail as usual from the MAIL icon on your desktop
         Used m.hotmail.com on server field. It offered the extensive setup like on Mail for mac with SMTP, SSL, etc.. which only knew to use m.hotmail.com on server, but instead the menu offer the typical incoming and outgoing server name. Still failed.
         The setting were set to these setting by default and it worked: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/hotmail/send-receive-email-from-mail-client
    But I don't want to set it to a POP account, I want a IMAP type setting.
    So bottom line, the preset MS Exchange and Hotmail on iOS 6 won't work anymore. Why not when they worked for a while until yesterday ?
    Nothing changes on iPhone setting.
    Thanks for your input.

    Has anyone called Apple support on this issue or is this strictly a Hotmail issue?
    Also, just to make sure I'm understanding that my problem is "normal" for what others are encountering:
    I set up my hotmail account and it wont work, I try to do it thru "Other Email" and it doesnt push the emails to my phone, I can get the emails (at times) but I have to fetch them. Otherwise I cannot send or recieve any emails by setting it up thru the Hotmail or Microsoft Exchange accounts.
    Is this what everyone seems to be encountering?
    New to the "forums" but this problem is really becoming a nuisance!!!

  • IPhone connection with B1i Server through internet

    Dear All,
    iPhone is successfully connected with my B1i server through intranet (wifi connection).
    But When i am trying to connect my B1i server through internet, I am getting the following issue.
    I am getting an error as follows when i try to browse the tomcat homepage in IE
    XCL198 HTTP-access currently not allowed from remote clients, as B1iP runs in local-mode or safe-mode.
    I followed the solution given in B1iC troubleshooting Guide.
    I am using SAP 8.81 patch level 6.
    Maintenance->CFG Runtime parameters as
    B1i Http port :8080
    B1i Https port : 8443
    B1i Server : My server ip
    Please help me to resolve this problem.

    Ken, George, Dear all,
    in given context of problems running the mobile solution, please do NOT change B1i server Xcellerator properties at all.
    Quite frequently there are ideas to change the default settings of WebDAV and remote settings of B1i server. This is simply a waste of time and definitely not required for troubleshooting or making the mobile
    solution working.
    Simply check the documentation 'Administrator's Guide for the Integration Component' for the purpose, the default settings, and further info about these properties you instruct to change:
    a) About xcl.http.localOnly
    Administrative Web access is limited to the local machine only. After installation, it is possible to manually allow access by remote machines by changing the particular setting in the operating system configuration file
    (Xcellerator.cfg).
    For additional documentation, choose Start → All Programs → Integration solution for SAP Business One → Integration framework, and then choose Help → Ref 04 – Operations, chapter 6.2.
    b) About WebDAV-based access
    WebDAV-based access to BizStore content is disabled. SAP does not recommend enabling this kind of access for productive systems, as this is typically needed for development systems only.
    For additional documentation, choose Start → All Programs → Integration solution for SAP Business One → Integration framework, then go to Help → Ref 01 – Dev Environment, chapter 3.
    For checking the connectivity from mobile to server / excluding network issues, B1iP can definitely run in local mode. When calling the server from mobile, B1iP would give you a fully sufficient, proper
    response:
    SAP B1iP detected an error: Emitted HTTP-Code 403 - Forbidden
    Internal Reason XCL198 HTTP-access currently not allowed from remote clients, as B1iP runs in local-mode or safe-mode.
    - This is exactely the alleged 'error', Tamizharasi mentioned at the beginning. Behind the internet connection issue from iPhone to his B1i server (which was unfortunately not described at all) must have been a quite different root cause - changing xcellerator properties is unfortunately a wrong recommendation here in order to clear such general iPhone issue.
    I am concerned here from security side, such settings may not be amended lightly, and lead the problem-solving in the wrong direction - beside your additional efforts.
    We do recommend to keep the default values and undo such configuration changes again, if not needed.
    For troubleshooting the mobile solution please check SAP note 1602674.
    Best regards, peter

  • Cannot connect to iChat Server from Leopard Client

    I just installed Leopard Server fresh and did all of the software updates. I let Directory Utility configure my Leopard client machine to setup all of the accounts. When I try to connect with iChat, I get the following prompt:
    *Please type your Kerberos password for patrick@LKDC:SHA1.48E73...0D0.*
    I enter my password on the server, and I then get:
    *Kerberos Login Failed:*
    Cannot resolve network address for KDC in requested realm.
    My co-worker has a similar problem, but it instead asks him to type in the Kerberos password for "[email protected]". It also fails for him.
    Keep in mind this is a freshly-installed Leopard Server set for basic usage. I'm literally shocked that it doesn't *just work*. I'm even more shocked that nothing I seem to try actually has any result on fixing it.
    What am I doing wrong? (Or rather, what is Leopard Server doing wrong, since all I did was follow the instructions to install this thing.)
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    Yes, the problem turned out to be that when I initially installed Leopard, the IP address I was using didn't have a reverse DNS entry. Leopard should really provide a WARNING when this is the case, as it causes so many problems across the board, and I've read so many other users having other problems because their DNS was not set up properly. Since there is no easy way to remedy this once it's installed, it's even more pertinent that an administrator be notified at the time of installation that this is the case. I fixed my DNS issue and reinstalled Leopard Server, and that solved the problem. (And yes, I will file a bug report with Apple.)

  • My iphone has lost connection to the server; I cannot get e-mails.

    My iphone has lost connection to the server; I cannot get e-mails. What can I do to fix that?

    I recently put on a PowerPoint presentation at DU, in Denver Colorado; signed on as DU guest to access Internet link.  SInce then I haven't been able to get e-mail on my Iphone - Cannot Get Mail, Server Stopped Responding.  I tried all previous suggestions, such as rebooting phone, updating software etc.  I went to MacBook Pro and tried logging on to yahoo e-mail.  Apparently there was a security risk to my e-mail account so Yahoo locked up my account.  I reset my password, it was verified through text message, and Voila it worked.  Don't forget you also have to change this on your Iphone: go into settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; click on your e-mail browser, then account and enter your new password, click done and it will verify on you phone as well.  Hope this helps!!!

  • HT4922 Downloaded 5.1.1. to my iphone. Now, Safari will not connect to my server.  Can not download web pages and many of my apps. Running very slow sluggish! Is there a fix? Sound like other users are experiencing same problems.  Anyone have a solution?

    Downloaded 5.1.1 to my iphone. Now, Safari will not connect to my server. Can not download web pages and many of my apps. Email seems to be ok. iphone running slow and sluggish.  I have read several other users have experienced the same problem. Any solutions?

    Basic troubleshooting steps oultlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    You need to go through all steps in succession until your problem is solved.  If going through ALL these steps fails to resolve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • How do I stop iChat/Address Book image picker attempting to connect to unavailable server?

    I'm using Mac OS X Lion. In iChat, if I click on my personal image then select Modify Image, I get the image picker that allows you to change the image, take a picture from iSight, etc. In Address Book, I can get to this same or similar window when I double-click on the personal image placeholder.
    In both cases, a spinner starts up in the lower left corner and after a few seconds I get an error stating that "the connection to server XXXX has failed." This message will pop up continuously until I close the program. The server that it is trying to connect to is a local Mac OS X Snow Leopard server that used to be part of the network but no longer exists.
    By setting up a DNS entry to get it to attempt to connect to a server that does exist and using Little Snitch, I've been able to deduce that it is NetAuthSysAgent trying to make a TCP connection to port 139 TCP (netbios-ssn).
    First, I find it odd that a Mac program trying to connect to a Mac server would use NetBIOS. I also find it odd that either of these programs would need to connect to the server.
    I have a new OS X Lion server but I no longer join to its directory services. As the issue seems to be some configuration left over from when I was connected to that server, I tried joining the new server and then unjoining to see if that would clean up the settings, but that did not help.
    Performing a find . -type f -exec grep -l "<server name>" {} \; revealed two files:
    .viminfo
    ~/Library/Application\ Support/SyncServices/Local/TFSM/com.apple.Keychain/data.syncdb
    The latter was a SQLite database that did not revel anything very legible.
    I've search high and low for a setting that points to this old server name to no avail.

    First off I want to thank you for sticking with me through this, it's nice to have somebody to shoot ideas around with, it made me think up ideas, what I'm trying to say is, by just writing this down in this thread I solved my own problem. Linc I already deleted almost all of the Login items previously, as I did have the same idea, that something in that spot was trying to connect to the desktop through the network, that didn't work, but for some people it could be a problem. When you first mentioned, "make sure that new windows don't open to a folder on the server.", that comment made me look around for any folders connected to the server, then in my last comment I mentioned the word "alias", turns out that was the problem. In my users folder on the Macbook Pro, I had 2 folders that were alias folders, one was the download folder and the other was the Movie folder, I made new folders and put copies of everything into the folders, then threw away the alias folders and renamed the two new folders I created with their original names, presto no more problem.
    Must be getting old, cannot remember making any alias folders, but I probably did, probably had some great idea to save hard disk space on the Macbook Pro, only has 250 GB disk, the Mac Pro has over 8 Terebytes of space so I thought I'd use it probably, bad idea, sometimes I get too Geeky for my own good. Again, Thanks Linc for sticking with me on this.
    There were interesting ideas on the internet, seems other people have run into similar problems, one suggestion was the terminal to check for any "open processes". link was here, if interested....  http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/25639/why-is-my-mac-constantly-trying-t o-connect-to-another-server
    I'm going to mark your last comment as being helpful, as actually all of it was helpful in forcing me to find those pesky alias folders.

  • Both my iphone 4s and my ipad3 will not connect to the server when trying to access my email account. Why, and how do I fix it.

    Since 29/10/2012 my iphone 4s and more recently my ipad 3 will not connect to the server when trying to access my email account. All I get is an error message saying that 'cannot get mail, connection to the server failed' I hadnt changed any settings it just happened. I have since done a complete re-boot on the ipad but to no avail. Anybody got any suggestions?

    No. Everything was working fine and then it wasn't. I hadn't changed any settings or switched either one off. When the phone stopped working properly I ignored it because I always have my ipad with me but that just sopped working properly and now I am stuffed. I have tried most solutions suggested on here even wiping the ipad clean and re-booting. I did this exactly the same way as when I first got it but still no joy. The same with the phone.

    Hi StuNYC,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're seeing an alert message when opening Mail on your iOS devices. Do you have multiple email accounts setup on the devices? Take a look at the article below, it provides suggestions that will resolve most issues that  cause an alert like that to appear in when starting the Mail app.

  • Why can't I connect to Exchange Server 2003? I'm using OS Lion. My iphone connects, what am I doing wrong?

    Why can't I connect to Exchange Server 2003? I'm using OS Lion. My iphone connects, what am I doing wrong?

    the iPhone uses active sync. Desktop clients do not. Desktop clients use another exchange protocol (which i can't remember as i'm not a microsofty).
    Just because you can access via active sync doesn't mean you can access it by other methods, and vice versa.

  • Help My Iphone 3GS the hotmail has stopped working and my contacts and the calendar no longer hook up to it  it keeps saying the connection to the server has failed and it running the latest 5ios

    Hi please help I have an Iphone 3 G S it is using the  5.1.1 ios upgrade which it has had for sometime although there was a minor update last evening ? My phone worked fine until arround 1 pm today then it stopped getting mail from my hotmail account along with the hotmail I am not longer able to see any updates to my calendar and most of my contacts have dissapeared. I have tried reconfiguring the hotmail account, deleating it, and putting it back on, and changing the password but none of these has worked. I know hotmail is working from my computer and it also working from another app I downloaded to the phone just now ( mail pro)  but it still says connection to the server has failed?
    Thanks so much

    Click on your Hotmail account in Settings, click on the blue arrow and Forget this Network and try signing in again.
