port<port>

<server>
Connect to said server in an anonymous way. (Be aware: There aren't many servers that support this.)

tlsallow
Use TLS for the connection if it is available.
tlstrust

tlslegacy
Use legacy TLS for the connection. It means server doesn't support STARTTLS and TLS is forced just

Description
Login to a chat service. If no account is specified, the default is used if one is configured. A local
account is created with the JID as it's name if it doesn't already exist. In case you want to connect to
a server via SASL ANONYMOUS (c.f. XEP-0175) you can also do that.
