I have been using Pidgin as an all-in-one IM client, but now as Empathy is the default app in Ubuntu I wanted to try it out.

I have a sametime account at an external company that is keen to restrict access to their service from certain sametime client versions only. I was able to trick it with pidgin by specifying the following settings in accounts.xml:

<setting name='client_minor' type='int'>8510</setting>
<setting name='client_major' type='int'>30</setting>
<setting name='client_id_val' type='int'>4876</setting>

I tried to do the same in Empathy but I failed.

As far as I know, Pidgin and Empathy use the same connector Plugin for sametime, so basically the functions should be there somewhere but there is little information about the configuration files and that doesn't discuss any sametime specific options.
