Can anyone speak from experience on using SASL
EXTERNAL for c2s connections? E.g. A client authenticating with a certificate rather than
a password. Certificates seem more appropriate for managing many IoT cases.
I can't find much — or any — information on SASL EXTERNAL support for most of the
common servers and client implementations. So has anyone used certificate auth for XMPP
clients? I'm particularly interested in the more common open source clients and
servers – Smack, OpenFire, ejabberd, Prosody but any first-hand knowledge would be
helpful.
I can't speak for the OSS servers, but Swift (OSS) has been tested
quite a lot with SASL EXTERNAL against M-Link (not OSS).
