How does one use Windows Live Messenger as an IM Server for Bamboo notifications?

pezjoker August 23, 2012

How can i use windows live messenger to send build notifications from my Bamboo build server?

I'm behind my corporate firewall, however i believe i've sorted out all issues related to that, and all ports and what not are open and available. However, i get a "no response from server" no matter what i do.

Is there any documentation on how to hook bamboo up to use window live messenger? Is there documentation that states that it isn't possible?

I am not really looking to troubleshoot here, i'm mostly just asking if there is any documentation on this subject, as i cannot seem to find any.

Hi pezjoker,

Bamboo did not support Windows Live Messenger up until recently when Microsoft introduced XMPP/Jabber protocol access for Live Messenger.

Microsoft has some documentation on how to access Live Messanger accounts through XMPP/Jabber. Have you tried the server connection information on this page?

Thanks
James

Thanks for the response, James!

I started to look at the msdn articles right before i posted the question here, and when i got to the application client id and the authentication token and that lot, i decided i'd rather try harder to find some Bamboo specific documentation before i got lost in that xmpp \ see-other-host \ oauth 2.0 madness which i know nothing about.

No problems! Did you end up getting it working?

pezjoker August 23, 2012

Nope. Not working. I could be misreading this, but it sounds like there is stuff that Bamboo will have to have written to even make it possible.

(note, this was a change to the initial xmpp release for wlm that went out in april of 2012 and was a breaking change. is it possible that bamboo no longer works, given these changes?)

  • Your app must implement see-other-host. For details, see the "see-other-host" section in RFC6120: XMPP: Core.

    Note The see-other-host requirement is a breaking change beginning with the April 2012 release. All apps, including those that work with the December 2011 release, must implement see-other-host. Any app that implements Messenger XMPP but doesn't also implement see-other-host will no longer work.

  • We use X-MESSENGER-OAUTH2 Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) authentication to get a user's okay, or consent, for your app to represent the user when signing in to the Messenger XMPP service. To do this, we use theOAuth 2.0 standard. To use our implementation, your app needs a client ID and an access token (and possibly other info, depending on your app type). To get these, see the Get a client ID and Get an access token sections later in this topic.

Hmm, sucks to hear that didn't work out of the box :(

I've linked your question to the issue to add Windows Live Messanger support to Bamboo.
