Known Issues

The Stanford Instant Messaging implementation team has uncovered a few minor problems that you may encounter.

Issue Workaround
Duplicate IM buddies may appear in the Pidgin Buddy List window. Deleting one entry may delete your own availability on that person's Buddy List window. No workaround at this time. We have contacted the Pidgin vendor about the problem.
Certificate warnings may appear as you sign in. Accept the certificate.
Problems creating and joining permanent group chats. Accept Group Chat preferences defaults.
iChat is not a supported IM client. We are contacting the vendor.
On Windows, you will get an additional password prompt if you only have a WIN.STANFORD.EDU Kerberos ticket.
