-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'd like to see support for SASL EXTERNAL.
This is a fairly trivial change to JSJaC, but it allows some pretty cool things to be done in the HTTP Binding proxy. Basically, you can use authentication tokens exchanged at the HTTP layer during the XmlHttpRequest to authenticate the backend connection to the Jabber server. This lets a Jabber webclient join in an organisation's SSO system, in the same way as any other web site.
I have patches to add this - as I said they're trivial, and won't affect clients where the server/proxy doesn't add EXTERNAL to the list of supported SASL mechanisms.
Cheers, Simon. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) iD8DBQFGd9N5qWndc26pXmcRAk4fAKCFyl50ndleCEjv0m2MI9VZv9fYGwCfWcSJ cL2e0/fUPbpyfpAEiDw5t1M= =Bd4B -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
