Hi,
Thanks for the clarification and help. I was wondering what version of freeswitch are you using? I have configured pretty much identical as your sample and now I get "TLS NOT SUPPORTED IN THUS BUILD" below is the debug message I get:

freeswitch@JSIRCAR> 2007-02-20 22:34:33 [DEBUG] libdingaling.c:1459 xmpp_connect

The freeswitch version that I have compiled and running is : FreeSwitch Version 1.0.4296M
