Problems with connecting to Facebook XMMP MD5-DIGEST

Question

I have tried all the things to connect Facebook with XMPP but i have faced only one error all the time which is :
SASL authentication failed using mechanism DIGEST-MD5
I am implementing following method to perform this task :

public class MySASLDigestMD5Mechanism extends SASLMechanism {

public MySASLDigestMD5Mechanism(SASLAuthentication saslAuthentication) {
    super(saslAuthentication);
}

protected void authenticate() throws IOException, XMPPException {
    String[] mechanisms = { getName() };
    Map<String, String> props = new HashMap<String, String>();
    sc = Sasl.createSaslClient(mechanisms, null, "xmpp", hostname, props, this);

    super.authenticate();
}

public void authenticate(String username, String host, String password) throws IOException, XMPPException {
    this.authenticationId = username;
    this.password = password;
    this.hostname = host;

    String[] mechanisms = { getName() };
    Map<String,String> props = new HashMap<String,String>();
    sc = Sasl.createSaslClient(mechanisms, null, "xmpp", host, props, this);
    super.authenticate();
}

public void authenticate(String username, String host, CallbackHandler cbh) throws IOException, XMPPException {
    String[] mechanisms = { getName() };
    Map<String,String> props = new HashMap<String,String>();
    sc = Sasl.createSaslClient(mechanisms, null, "xmpp", host, props, (org.apache.harmony.javax.security.auth.callback.CallbackHandler) cbh);
    super.authenticate();
}

protected String getName() {
    return "DIGEST-MD5";
}

/*public void challengeReceived1(String challenge) throws IOException {
    // Build the challenge response stanza encoding the response text
    StringBuilder stanza = new StringBuilder();

    byte response[];
    if (challenge != null) {
        response = sc.evaluateChallenge(Base64.decode(challenge));
    } else {
        response = sc.evaluateChallenge(null);
    }

    String authenticationText="";

    if (response != null) { // fix from 3.1.1
        authenticationText = Base64.encodeBytes(response, Base64.DONT_BREAK_LINES);
        if (authenticationText.equals("")) {
            authenticationText = "=";
        }
    }

    stanza.append("<response xmlns=\"urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-sasl\">");
    stanza.append(authenticationText);
    stanza.append("</response>");

    // Send the authentication to the server
    getSASLAuthentication().send(stanza.toString());
}*/

 public void challengeReceived(String challenge)
 throws IOException {

 byte response[];

 if (challenge != null) {
     response = sc.evaluateChallenge(Base64.decode(challenge));
 } else {
     response = sc.evaluateChallenge(new byte[0]);
 }

 Packet responseStanza;

 if (response == null) {
     responseStanza = new Response();
 } else {
     responseStanza = new Response(Base64.encodeBytes(response, Base64.DONT_BREAK_LINES));
 }

 getSASLAuthentication().send(responseStanza);

}

}

And Connection Function is :

     try{
        SASLAuthentication.registerSASLMechanism("DIGEST-MD5",MySASLDigestMD5Mechanism. class);

        ConnectionConfiguration config = new ConnectionConfiguration("chat.facebook.com",5222);



        config.setSASLAuthenticationEnabled(true);

        config.setRosterLoadedAtLogin (true);



        connection = new XMPPConnection(config);

        connection.connect();
        Log.d("Connect...", "Afetr Connect");
        connection.login("username@chat.facebook.com", "password");
        Log.d("done","XMPP client logged in");
    }
    catch(XMPPException ex)
    {
        Log.d("not done","in catchhhhhhhhh");
        System.out.println(ex.getMessage ());
        connection.disconnect();
    }

}
but "After connect" it gone to the ctach and give me error like : 

  SASL authentication failed using mechanism DIGEST-MD5

I searched all blog and find same thing but i dont know what am i doing wrong here..

If is there any other way or solution to connect Facebook XMPP then please Help me ASAP

same problem for here.. please help any one – Akash Singh Dec 19 '11 at 06:31 — Akash Singh, Dec 19 '11 at 06:31

Finally, thanks to the no.good.at.coding code and the suggestion of harism, I've been able to connect to the Facebook chat. This code is the Mechanism for the Asmack library (the Smack port for Android). For the Smack library is necessary to use the no.good.at.coding mechanism.

                    else                 
                    {                     
                        buf.append((char) ('a' + halfByte - 10));                 
                    }                 
                    halfByte = data[i] & 0xF;             
                } 
                while (twoHalfs++ < 1);         
            }          
            return buf.toString();     
            } 
        }

To use it:

ConnectionConfiguration config = new ConnectionConfiguration("chat.facebook.com", 5222); 
config.setSASLAuthenticationEnabled(true); 
XMPPConnection xmpp = new XMPPConnection(config); 
try 
{     
    SASLAuthentication.registerSASLMechanism("X-FACEBOOK-PLATFORM", SASLXFacebookPlatformMechanism.class);     
    SASLAuthentication.supportSASLMechanism("X-FACEBOOK-PLATFORM", 0);     
    xmpp.connect();     
    xmpp.login(apiKey + "|" + sessionKey, sessionSecret, "Application"); 
} 
catch (XMPPException e) 
{     
    xmpp.disconnect();     
    e.printStackTrace(); 
}

apiKey is the API key given in the application settings page in Facebook. sessionKey is the second part of the access token. If the token is in this form, AAA|BBB|CCC, the BBB is the session key. sessionSecret is obtained using the old REST API with the method auth.promoteSession. To use it, it's needed to make a Http get to this url:

https://api.facebook.com/method/auth.promoteSession?access_token=yourAccessToken

Despite of the Facebook Chat documentation says that it's needed to use your application secret key, only when I used the key that returned that REST method I was able to make it works. To make that method works, you have to disable the Disable Deprecated Auth Methods option in the Advance tab in your application settings.

I got `java.security.KeyStoreException: KeyStore jks implementation not found` and `SASL authentication failed using mechanism X-FACEBOOK-PLATFORM:` — Bhavesh Hirpara, Oct 18 '12 at 06:33
