Hi guys I'm having the same problem.
My server is set with domain name betsonchat. on the clients they have betsonchat.betson.com. they can log in this way on the network. When they are off the network, they can still log in using the same server name betsonchat.betson.com. I'm not using AD, simply the openfire internal built in ldap.
with this new version of spark , it does not connect unless i change the name to just betsonchat and click on "use spark version as resource", "use compression", and "accept all certificates".
now when outside the network , you cant use either one. I understand the need for security, but spark should allow you to choose if you want to be this secured or not. I think this option should be added to the next release. I don't intend on re configuring my server, since its worked great for 5 years now. and i don't want to change the config on 200 machines.
Can we add this feature on the next release to allow the admin or users set how secured they want to be? At this point i will just continue to use spark 2.7.7.
Please note I'm also using the latest openfire server 4.0.3 on a windows server.
thanks..
