Since upgrading to OSX 10.8.2 from 10.6.x I find that when I lock the screen Adium logs out. Upon unlocking screen Adium logs back in.

It used to just set to away when screen locked and I have pushover scripts that rely on this.

How can I get it to behave the way it did before I upgraded?

My Adium still sets away when I lock the computer, this is with OSX 10.8.2 and Adium 1.5.4. I didn't have to change any settings when upgrading from 10.6.X. Which service(s) are you using Adium for? I only use MSN Messenger. – Lizzan Jan 11 at 12:11
Ok, well that's good to hear. I'm using Adium for a number of accounts on various IM services. I'll keep digging. – dibs Jan 13 at 21:17

I believe this is because of "Wake on Demand" feature in OSX 10.8. Details here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3774

To disable: Go to System Prefs -> Energy Saver, on the 'Power Adapter' page, uncheck the 'Wake for network access' box.

That behavior is determined by the settings in the Status pane of Adium preferences. Specifically, it's determined by the "When Screen Saver is activated, set:" preference. Check to make sure that's not set to "Offline".
