Ask HN: Which Jabber clients support SCRAM+ and XEP-0474?

2•Bender•4h ago
Related to this thread [1] which Jabber clients not only detect MitM tampering when a valid cert is used in the middle but is not the cert on the server, meaning an entity obtained a certificate, used it to MitM the connection and the client not only rejects this alternate valid certificate but also alerts the user to the MitM. XEP-0474 SASL SCRAM Downgrade Protection (Experimental) [2] Claude does not seem to know and I can't find any clarifying documentation, just lots of open issues.

The purpose is for writing an article on E2EE but I want to suggest clients that will alert on MitM tampering in a manor the person using the client can not accidentally ignore it. i.e. just click through a warning

On the server side eJabberd and Prosody appear to be the only server daemons supporting XEP-0474 but I just can't find a definitive list of supported clients even if they are in the experimental phase. they may support SCRAM+ but do not alert on tampering using a valid cert.

I am not interested in an LLM answer. LLM's do not appear to know the answer and instead give the official stance that XEP-0474 is experimental which holds no value for those wishing to experiment.
