After:

• SCRAM-SHA-1

Can you add supports of:

• SCRAM-SHA-1-PLUS
• SCRAM-SHA-256
• SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS
• SCRAM-SHA-512
• SCRAM-SHA-512-PLUS
• SCRAM-SHA3-512

You can add too:

• SCRAM-SHA-224
• SCRAM-SHA-224-PLUS
• SCRAM-SHA-384
• SCRAM-SHA-384-PLUS

"When using the SASL SCRAM mechanism, the SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS variant SHOULD be preferred over the SCRAM-SHA-256 variant, and SHA-256 variants [RFC7677] SHOULD be preferred over SHA-1 variants [RFC5802]".

I don't understand. What's your point?

[sonnyp]

I will consider re-opening if you make the effort to explain what it is you're reporting.

[Neustradamus]

There is only SCRAM-SHA-1 in xmppjs: https://github.com/xmppjs/xmpp.js/blob/master/packages/sasl-scram-sha-1/index.js

There are not SCRAM-SHA-1-PLUS + SCRAM-SHA-256(-PLUS):

• SCRAM-SHA-1-PLUS is from RFC6120 (XMPP)
• SCRAM-SHA-256(-PLUS) will be in a new RFC for XMPP soon

[Neustradamus]

@sonnyp: Good news, after XMPP Servers: Metronome IM, Tigase XMPP Server, Jackal IM, Mongoose IM, DJabberd git-master, Prosody 0.12.x, ejabberd 20.12 supports now new SCRAM.

• Clients: Conversations, CoyIM, eyeCU, Gajim 1.2.0+, KDE Kaidan, Miranda NG, Mozilla Thunderbird 71+, Psi/Psi+ (with QCA), Tigase Beagle IM, Tigase Siskin IM, Tigase Stork IM, UWPX, Vacuum IM
• Libraries: cr-xmpp, libstrophe, Mellium XMPP, python-nbxmpp, QXmpp, Tigase JaXMPP, TigaseSwift, Stanza, Wocky, xmpp-rs
• ...

Can you add the support in xmpp.js? Really important for security.

[Neustradamus]

@sonnyp: Have you looked to add others SCRAM-SHA?

There are several packages on github to replace the "sasl-scram-sha-1"

Example for 256:

[Neustradamus]

Dear @xmppjs team, @sonnyp,

I wish you a Happy New Year 2022!

Have you looked for the standard SCRAM-SHA-256 which will be soon in Prosody IM 0.12 stable?

It is already supported with other SCRAM by DJabberd, ejabberd, Mongoose IM, M-Link, etc.

Thanks in advance.

[Neustradamus]

@ all: Good news, @based-a-tron has added in StropheJS.

What do you think about xmpp.js?

[Neustradamus]

@sonnyp: I see that you use now Prosody 0.12, can you look for SCRAM-SHA-256?

Other XMPP servers, several XMPP clients and XMPP libs have supports.

Thanks in advance.

@Neustradamus I know you have good intentions, but stop spamming over and over, it's tiring and doesn't help.
