iChat Server : Leopard Server + Tiger client + SSL = no go

[frederikvdr]

I have an issue with Tiger clients (iChat AV v 3.1.8) connecting to my Leopard Server with iChat Server running. I have a Thawthe issued certificate which i installed manually trough a .pem file by editing the section in c2s.conf.

This works fine in my iChat AV 4.0.5 and Pidgin 2.5.2 client on Windows.

However, if I try to connect in Tiger, i get the following error :

Could not connect to Jabber
An unexpected SSL error occurred.
[-9843]

I tried running in iChat AV in verbose logging mode, but i don’t see much of interest happening there. I also tried connecting without SSL in Tiger, but that didn’t work either.

EDIT :
Some extra information :

i’m using a DNS record to redirect Jabber traffic for domain.com to my ichat server jabber.domain.com. This is also working fine in leopard, but not in Tiger (i believe the Tiger client does not support it since it says could not connect to host domain.com)

When i connect to jabber.domain.com from Leopard, i get an error that iChat can’t verify the identity of “jabber.domain.com”. Is there a way to get both “jabber.domain.com” and “domain.com” in the c2s.xml file?

EDIT2

I actually only had an SRV record for 5222. when I added one for 5223, it broke my ability to connect on leopard, as well. Maybe this is a masked certificate problem?

Any signed certificate will do.
