Openfire, MIT Kerberos (I've done it elsewhere with Heimdal) and
OpenLDAP, with the Cyrus saslauthd daemon to allow plain text logins.

This link was incredibly helpful for getting saslauthd to comply;
http://www.semicomplete.com/articles/openldap-with-saslauthd/

GSSAPI and plain text logins work off the same password. As Russ
Allberry pointed out in the other sub thread, this is not the best
policy, so all the non-SSL channels, XMPP or otherwise, are disabled.

(If this was for a company, rather than a personal domain, I'd probably
do things slightly differently.)

Cheers,
Edward
