Summary: Can't Connect to SIP Messaging Service in 2.0.0 Beta1

Initial Comment:
I am using 2.0.0 Beta 1 and I am trying to use the SIP
messaging to connect to our corporate instant messaging
server.  Formerly, I used Windows Messenger 5.1.  The
configuration I am using in Windows Messenger is:

Checked "My contacts include users of a SIP
Communications Service"
Server Name or IP Address:  
instantmessage.noamer.<company>.com 
Connect Using:
TCP
Sign-In Name:  
jamie.edwards@<company>.com
Username:
<NT Domain>\jamieedwards
Password:
<My NT Domain Password>

I am not exactly sure how these options map to the
options in GAIM.  I have tried using my Sign-In Name in
the "Screen Name" field, but it fails to connect (it
also shows the name of the account as
jamie.edwards@<company>.com@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<company>.com,
that doesn't seem right).  I also tried variations of
my Username (with and without the NT domain in it).  
I am currently unable to determine the exact cause of
the connection failure, as it crashes when it fails to
connect (see bug 1392791 - datallah assured me that
this should be taken care of now - not sure where to
download a newer version that doesn't crash though).  
Am I trying to connect to a service that isn't
compatible with this version of GAIM or is this
supposed to work properly?  I would assume that our
instant messaging service should be compatible as a
colleague of mine uses Trillian Pro with the SIP
instant messaging plugin and is able to connect without
any difficulties.

I didn't investigate, but most likely Live Communications Server uses some kind of NTLM/LanMan or 
Kerberos, mainly because Windows Messenger uses the credentials provided by the user at logon 
time. This is the same authentication used by IIS for internal/domain authentication.

At logon time, the users credentials are stored as a hash which is used to login to all services 
which accept that kind of authentication: IIS with NTLM authentication, Windows Messenger via SIP
(Live Communications Server), Exchange via RPC and/or RPC-over-HTTP(s), SMB/CIFS, etc.

There are NTLM authentication plugins (i.e. for Apache 1.3 and 2.0) available, which contain the 
necessary code to do the NTLM challenge-response stuff.

We do...guess I'm going to have to drop GAIM and pay to use
Trillian then...its a shame because I really like GAIM.  Are
you guys at least working on getting that authentication
method working?  If so, then I'll check back regularly.

Does your company use Microsoft Live Communication Server?
It uses a non-standard (and undocumented) authentication
method which is currently not supported by gaim.
