Really? It doesn't look so easy to me. The docs for both Openfire and
Pidgin make no mention of GSSAPI or Kerberos. Most of the discussions
on this subject seem to be a couple of years old or have to do with
Windows environments.
Then there's the Stanford IT Lab Blog article on Openfire. It's over
two years old, but seems to work with Openfire 3.7.0 on my system.
However, I wasn't able to get Pidgin to communicate with it. Also,
when I break the configuration, e.g. by renaming gss.conf and
restarting the daemon, Openfire gives no errors and behaves the same
as before. So, for all I know it's ignoring the additional SASL/GSSAPI
configuration.
Cheers,
Jaap
