For client, Pidgin works well with GSS-API and is cross-platform. For
server, we ended up using OpenFire, but I know there are others out there
that can also do GSS-API.
OpenFire has the drawback that it's written in Java and uses a completely
bizarre configuration mechanism that we had a lot of trouble with. You
also have to fiddle with it a bit to get GSS-API to work properly. It
wasn't an entirely obvious deployment, unfortunately.
