options are overwritten

* I can't login from pidgin as an authorised user (admin) either. The instructions say I should be able to mix anon and registered users.

This is your configuration:

{hosts, ["mydomain.com", "private.mydomain.com"]}.
{auth_method, internal}.
{host_config, "mydomain.com", [
        {auth_method, [anonymous]},
        {anonymous_protocol, both}
]}.

The auth_methods are not accumulated, they are overwritten. So in mydomain.com only anonymous is allowed.

Try this instead:

{hosts, ["mydomain.com", "private.mydomain.com"]}.
{auth_method, internal}.
{host_config, "mydomain.com", [
        {auth_method, [internal, anonymous]},
        {anonymous_protocol, both}
]}.

Maybe you prefer to put [anonymous, internal], I am not sure.

set authtype in jwchat

I was looking at JSJaCHTTPBindingCnnection.js and realised authtype is a connection setting:

oArgs.authtype = 'saslanon';
con.connect(oArgs);

I still have two issues:

* I can't find anything similar for pidgin (is this a limitation of libpurple?)
* I can't login from pidgin as an authorised user (admin) either. The instructions say I should be able to mix anon and registered users.

mechanism='DIGEST-MD5'

I was looking at the anonymous login specs for XMPP and it looks like the client is supposed to respond mechanism='ANONYMOUS'. I guess this simply means neither client supports anonymous sasl?
