ok ibr password change is a bit weird

i have to set a new password, and in return i get maybe a error including a form with further questions

why not just do the same as with register, request a form with all the fields..

Is that how it works?

Oh, that weird one where the XEP says to return an error along with a form?

That's super weird and unlike everything else in all of XMPP.

You have my support in just ignoring it and doing the sensible thing, like you said, request a form first.

yeah except there is no way to request a form ^^

the example given in the xep is also borderline stupid

let the user type his new password, then send it to the server, get a error back and a form which says to type the old password and the new password again

The sensible thing would be an iq-get like https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0077.xml#example-1

Looks like that's what Prosody implements

Zash, yes for register

but not for password change

Fix the XEP

Actually, deprecate it

Having iq stanzas pre-auth is ugly and awkward.

> why not just do the same as with register, request a form with all the fields.. I was agreeing with this, in case you misunderstood everything I was writing.

what makes you think i misunderstood you?

Maybe I'm the one misunderstanding then. It sounded like you were disagreeing with me when I said the same thing as you.

what i was disagreeing with was

> Zash‎: Looks like that's what Prosody implements

i doubt you implement a get for password form

which is not specified anywhere

lovetox: I looked at the code and it looked like it does the sane thing you said, ie not following the XEP

Post login, you should be able to iq-get the form to use

how exactly example 1 gives me the register form

how do i get a password form?

lovetox: I think you do the same thing as example 1, but after login.

Looks like prosody just returns `<query><username>your username</username><password/></query>` tho, no form

this is specified

example 3

Host Informs Entity of Current Registration

ah, yeah

Why is that not where you put a from if you need a form for whatever reason?

i dont understand the question

No question, really. The XEP is weird.

yeah it is, thats what i wanted to express, weird but still workable

:)

Was there a replacement for this?

there is a multistage ibr thingy

There's BIND 2, SASL 2, bunch of others something 2

Does password change need to be something specialized or could it be a well-known ad-hoc command?

could be an adhoc command

Ah, there it is https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0389.html

Does any currently popular server do that weird returning an error and a form?

yes

Metronome

i dont know about popular

:)
