SASL Negotiation for @xmpp/client.
Included and enabled in @xmpp/client.
const {xmpp} = require('@xmpp/client')
const client = xmpp({credentials: {
username: 'foo',
password: 'bar'
})Instead, you can provide a function that will be called every time authentication occurs (every (re)connect).
Uses cases:
- Have the user enter the password every time
- Do not ask for password before connection is made
- Debug authentication
- Using a SASL mechanism with specific requirements
- Perform an asynchronous operation to get credentials
const { xmpp } = require("@xmpp/client");
const client = xmpp({ credentials: authenticate });
async function authenticate(auth, mechanism) {
console.debug("authenticate", mechanism);
const credentials = {
username: await prompt("enter username"),
password: await prompt("enter password"),
};
console.debug("authenticating");
try {
await auth(credentials);
console.debug("authenticated");
} catch (err) {
console.error(err);
throw err;
}
}
