Issues connecting to openfire via Net::XMPP

I am using Perl to (or attempt to) connect to our internal openfire server using the Net::XMPP module. The idea is I will be able to connect and send an IM message to a specified chat user. This very basic example of my code is failing and I can't seem to figure out why

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use Net::XMPP;
use Data::Dumper;

my $con = Net::XMPP::Client->new( debuglevel=>1,);
my $host = '<host name here>';
my $user = '<my username>';
my $pass = '<my password>';

my $status = $con->Connect(
    hostname =>  $host,
    connectiontype => 'tcpip',
    tls => 1
);

my @result = $con->AuthSend(
    hostname =>  $host,
    username =>  $user,
    password =>  $pass,
);


print Dumper \@result;

When I execute the about code this is the message :

Checking the server I can see the connection request, the firewall is also allow the connection to go through and using pigin and client type XMPP, I can connect via the user. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Maybe this patch that supposedly is applied on Debian helps you too?

It claims to make SSL failures fatal, which could then help you in debugging the real cause. My guess is that the connection is SSL with a self-signed certificate but you don't have the appropriate certificate chain or didn't tell IO::Socket::SSL to allow your organisations certificate.

Thank you for the response, it gives me something to look for. Spending a few moments looking into this it appears there is a possible issue with my certificate. I will try and clear that up first and see if it resolves the issue. Thank you

Hello edimusrex,

What was your final solution to this problem?

I recently upgraded to Openfire 4.1.1 and a legacy XMPP bot written in Perl will no longer authenticate.
In my case it fails when calling AuthIQAuth()

Thanks,
Mike
