Security issue with stored password

Hi,

I just downloaded and played with Coccinella and it looks great. I then started evaluating security aspects and my first question was "how and where does Coccinella stores the passwords on the local machine" ?

At my big surprise, I found out that the passwords are not encrypted and are stored as plain text in the following file:

C:\Documents and Settings\...\Application Data\Coccinella\preferences.rdb

I believe you should store passwords using an encryption algorithm such as Triple DES, for example.

File transfer again

We are using Coccinella 0.96.12 on Mac and Linux, with an OpenFire server, the users being "hidden" behind NATting firewalls.

When trying to send files, the save dialog pops up at the receiving side. after clicking ok, Coccinella takes a few seconds, then pops up a message on the receiving side stating that the file could not be found on the sending side, on the sending side we get an error "missing streamhost-used".

Server <servername> did not respond: timeout.

Hi all,
I would like to use Coccinella but, after fresh install, I can not login to the Server. I do not know why.
I have already tried Pidgin, Psi, Pandion (very good). All of them were easy to install and configure.
May be the issue is that the Server works with "Legacy SSL", I do not know if there is an option equivalent to this is Coccinella. I tried different setups regarding this.
When I click on Login, the "Status Info" says:

"...Initializing the XML stream... "

Then shows the pop-up:

"Server did not respond: timeout"

Alert "the connection is not completely safe"

Hello, everyone.
I know, after I connect, get an alert that says "the connection is not completely safe"
because it's going?
that need to configure?
thank you.
