[jadmin] Help needed with certificate problem / Pidgin

[Matthias Wimmer]

Hi Christoph!


The patch I used should work against the vanilla 1.6.1.1 code as well.
(http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.jabber.xmppd.devel/151)

If you take the repository code, please make sure, that you use the 
1.6.1 branch (http://svn.jabberd.org/branches/RELEASE-1_6_1/) and not trunk.

The changes in the 1.6.1 branch are moderate, just some added 
functionality for a customer of mine to be able to dynamically and and 
remove domains from the session manager. - While in trunk there are 
really heavy changes that also break the programming API transforming 
jabberd to a more OOP design.
