How to configure sasl on openfire on windows xp with apache (xampp install)

Im talking about the Openfire server. Im not sure how all the auth stuff passes through for httpbinding- maybe someone else can chime in on that topic.

From the sounds of it, your javascript libraries are not generating the DIGEST-MD5 in a way Openfire likes. I ran into this with a few clients. DIGEST-MD5 has a way of using your last login as a “shortcut” to authenticate again. Which with httpbinding this may be the case- but Openfire dosnt seem to support that style of DIGEST-MD5. You might try switching to just PLAIN for testing, and maybe figure out whats going on with DIGEST-MD5 later.

In Openfire you can configure which mechanisms are advertised in openfire.xml by doing adding a sasl stanza:

<sasl>
   <mechanisms>PLAIN</mechanisms>
</sasl>
