<title>Jabber account details</title>
<p>Most Jabber accounts will require only a login ID and a password
to connect. For some accounts or on certain types of networks, you
may need to enter additional information in the <gui>Advanced</gui>
section. Normally, you will not need to use the advanced options
below. For general instructions on adding an account, see
<link xref="add-account"/>.</p>
<note>
<p>Google Talk is a type of Jabber account. These instructions
hold for Google Talk accounts as well.</p>

<title><gui>Encryption required (TLS/SSL)</gui></title>
<title><gui>Ignore SSL certificate errors</gui></title>
<p>Whenever possible, communication between <app>Empathy</app> and
the Jabber server is encrypted. If encrypted communication is not
possible, messages may be sent unencrypted. Select <gui>Encryption
required</gui> to prevent <app>Empathy</app> from communicating with
the Jabber server when encryption is not possible.</p>
<p>Some Jabber servers may encrypt data using invalid certificates,
or using certificates from unknown authorities. If you trust the
server you are connecting to, you can select <gui>Ignore SSL
certificate errors</gui> to allow encrypted communication with
invalid certificates.</p>

<title><gui>Priority</gui></title>
<p>If you have multiple applications (for instance, on separate computers)
connected to your account at the same time, you can set a resource to
uniquely identify each one. By default, <app>Empathy</app> will use
<input>Telepathy</input> as the resource.</p>
<p>You can set the priority to specify which application should receive
incoming messages from your contacts. New messages will be sent to the
application with the highest priority.</p>

<title><gui>Override server settings</gui></title>
<p><app>Empathy</app> will use default settings to connect to the
Jabber server based on your login ID. For some Jabber servers, you
will need to enter custom server settings manually. These settings
should be provided for you by your Jabber provider.</p>
