/connect
Description
Login to a chat service. If no account is specified, the default is used if one is configured. A local account is created with the JID as it's name if it doesn't already exist. In case you want to connect to a server via SASL ANONYMOUS (c.f. XEP-0175) you can also do that.
Synopsis
/connect [<account>]
/connect <account> [server <server>] [port <port>] [tls force|allow|trust|legacy|disable] [auth default|legacy]
/connect <server>
Arguments
- <account>
The local account you wish to connect with, or a JID if connecting for the first time.
- server <server>
Supply a server if it is different to the domain part of your JID.
- port <port>
The port to use if different to the default (5222, or 5223 for SSL).
- <server>
Connect to said server in an anonymous way. (Be aware: There aren't many servers that support this.)
- tls force
Force TLS connection, and fail if one cannot be established, this is default behaviour.
- tls allow
Use TLS for the connection if it is available.
- tls trust
Force TLS connection and trust server's certificate.
- tls legacy
Use legacy TLS for the connection. It means server doesn't support STARTTLS and TLS is forced just after TCP connection is established.
- tls disable
Disable TLS for the connection.

Default authentication process.

Allow legacy authentication.
