Hi Alexey!

I just added support for SASL authorization identities to my client

I'd now like to know if there is already a client, that supports having
a different authorization identity.
If you need just plain SASL auth then gajim supports it. Also I am sure (but not know) that tkabber have the most complete realisation.

No, that's not what I am looking for. I know enough clients, that have support to authenticate using SASL. But they all transmit no authorization id, and therefore they authorize as the same identity as they authenticate.

SASL has the concept of authorizing as someone else as you authenticated. But this does not seem to be supported by any Jabber client yet. E.g. the user [EMAIL PROTECTED] could have the right to authorize as [EMAIL PROTECTED] In that case the user [EMAIL PROTECTED] would have to provide "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" as the authentication id, the password for the user [EMAIL PROTECTED], and "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" as the authentication id. But it would NOT have to know or to provide the password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]
