18 <title>Jabber Account Details</title>
20 <p>Most Jabber accounts will require only a login ID and a password
21 to connect. For some accounts or on certain types of networks, you
22 may need to enter additional information in the <gui>Advanced</gui>
23 section. Normally, you will not need to use the advanced options
24 below. For general instructions on adding an account, see
25 <link xref="add-account"/>.</p>
29 <title><gui>Encryption required (TLS/SSL)</gui></title>
30 <title><gui>Ignore SSL certificate errors</gui></title>
31 <p>Whenever possible, communication between <app>Empathy</app> and
32 the Jabber server is encrypted. If encrypted communication is not
33 possible, messages may be sent unencrypted. Select <gui>Encryption
34 required</gui> to prevent <app>Empathy</app> from communicating with
35 the Jabber server when encryption is not possible.</p>
36 <p>Some Jabber servers may encrypt data using invalid certificates,
37 or using certificates from unknown authorities. If you trust the
38 server you are connecting to, you can select <gui>Ignore SSL
39 certificate errors</gui> to allow encrypted communication with
40 invalid certificates.</p>
43 <title><gui>Resource</gui></title>
44 <title><gui>Priority</gui></title>
45 <p>If you have multiple applications (for instance, on separate computers)
46 connected to your account at the same time, you can set a resource to
47 uniquely identify each one. By default, <app>Empathy</app> will use
48 <input>Telepathy</input> as the resource.</p>
49 <p>You can set the priority to specify which application should receive
50 incoming messages from your contacts. New messages will be sent to the
51 application with the highest priority.</p>
54 <title><gui>Override server settings</gui></title>
55 <p><app>Empathy</app> will use default settings to connect to the
56 Jabber server based on your login ID. For some Jabber servers, you
57 will need to enter custom server settings manually. These settings
58 should be provided for you by your Jabber provider.</p>
