tcp - Smack 4.1 Android anonymous registration to Openfire

Question

I want connect anonymously to openfire server with Android Smack 4.1 client and register the new user (username = "wq", password="wq") with AccountManager, and then disconnect and login as non-anonymous registered user.

3.1.1 Registration with a Server

Special care must be taken when an unregistered entity interacts with a server rather than a service. Normally, a server enables in-band registration so that entities can "bootstrap" their participation in the Jabber network; this bootstrapping happens when an unregistered and unauthenticated entity opens a TCP connection to a server and immediately completes the registration use case with the server, then authenticates using the newly-registered identity. As noted, when a server receives an IQ-get for registration information, it SHOULD assume that the requesting entity is unregistered unless the entity has already authenticated. Depending on local service provisioning, a server MAY return a stanza error if an unregistered entity attempts to register too many times before authenticating or if an entity attempts to register a second identity after successfully completing the registration use case; a server MAY also return a stream error if the unregistered entity waits too long before authenticating or attempts to complete a task other than authentication after successfully completing the registration use case.

connection builder looks like:

xmpptcpConnection = new XMPPTCPConnection(XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder()
        .setSecurityMode(ConnectionConfiguration.SecurityMode.disabled)
        .setResource(resource)
        .setHost(localhost) 
        .setServiceName(serviceName)
        .setPort(port)
        .setDebuggerEnabled(true)
        .setSendPresence(true)
        .build()
);

And registration:

        if (password != null && username != null) {
            AccountManager accountManager = AccountManager.getInstance(xmpptcpConnection);
            accountManager.sensitiveOperationOverInsecureConnection(true);
            accountManager.createAccount(username, password);
        }
        else {
            smackError("Username or password wrong");
        }

But I got bad-request error

I am not getting errors if I am connected with non-anonymous account, in connection builder only added :

.setUsernameAndPassword(username, password)

but I don't want to use another already registered account for registering new user to server. Is there any nice solution to pass it this way ?

Answer 1

You have to separate connect().login() chain.

        xmpptcpConnection.connect();

        if (anonymous) {
            AccountManager accountManager = AccountManager.getInstance(xmpptcpConnection);
            accountManager.sensitiveOperationOverInsecureConnection(true);
            accountManager.createAccount(username, password)
        }

        xmpptcpConnection.login(); //with old or newly created username, password from shared preferences
