Permit connecting with an alternative authcid#113
Conversation
This permits imitation of other users (for example, if usera@example.com is allowed to create a session as userb@example.com, he will provide the JID userb@example.com in <stream:stream to="..." and <bind/>, but use his own credentials in the the <auth/> packet per SASL's separation of authzid and authcid.

This appears to work well for me on ejabberd. Any chance it could be merged? |

Hi @benlangfeld, I'm curious, what's the usecase for this? Is it for users who have multiple XMPP accounts? |
|
Either for proxy authentication in general (maybe a set of credentials give access to multiple accounts, maybe certain users can masquerade as other users for testing purposes) or, in my case, to support MojoAuth. |
|
Is there a particular schedule for a 1.2.3 release, @jcbrand, or would it be appropriate to request that here? |
|
So far there aren't many new changes since the last release (1.2.1). I'm however happy to make a new release for you if you need it. |
|
Only so that Candy can depend on a final release. No big deal :) |
|
Put a freeze on that request, @jcbrand. I'm having trouble updating Candy to 1.2.1 anyway. |
