| Why not just run an XMPP federated server and have it configured to connect and use Server-to-server communication?
You can then have your web conference software create accounts and login to your own server. Then have you server become part of a federation with other servers.

I was trying to develope a simple web conference software which provide chat and whiteboard service to users.
My client connects to my server via TCP/IP. I used XMPP for authentication, register and sending messages. For the whiteboard feature, I used my own protocol.
My goal is :
- Everyone who has the right JID/Password can login then use the services.
- Users at my server can still send messages to other users at any XMPP servers while taking part in the conference.
MY AUTHENTICATION USE CASE
JID/password JID/password
myClient ----> myserver.org ---> jabber.org
<---- <---
login result login result
I was wondering if i can do this with my client:
- The user try to login by entering JID/Password.
- In case the JID belongs to my server, the authentication will be done normally using SASL or Non-SASL.(2 ways to do XMPP authentication that I know - If there's any else, pls give me some information. Thanks in advance)
- In case the JID belongs to other server (ex: jabber.org), my server will act as a client with that JID/password to jabber.org server. It will try to do an authentication with jabber.org on behalf of the user (sending the JID/password to jabber.org). In here, my server just want to ask jabber.org if that was the correct JID/Password set at jabber.org.
- jabber.org will send the login result back.
- If that was the correct JID/Password set at jabber.org. Yes, now my server knows who the user is then let him in and use my services.
Else, sorry, you've not been authenticated. I can't let you in.
Can I do that??
SENDING MESSAGES SCENARIO
After the authentication has been done:
- In case the JID belongs to my server, sending messages has no problems.
- In case the JID belongs to jabber.org, my server now will act like a forward server. It receives messages from myClient then sends to jabber.org on behalf of that user.
message message
myClient ----> myserver.org ---> jabber.org
<---- <---
message message
Is that possible??
Thanks for being patient, reading this such long mail :">. I'm looking forward to any replies :)
