Description
Dear @jakartaee team,
Can you add the missing "tls-server-end-point" support of RFC 5929: Channel Bindings for TLS?
- https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5929
- https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5929#section-4
In more, there are:
- XEP-0388: Extensible SASL Profile: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0388.html
- XEP-0440: SASL Channel-Binding Type Capability: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0440.html
- XEP-0474: SASL SCRAM Downgrade Protection: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0474.html
- XEP-0480: SASL Upgrade Tasks: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0480.html
Little details, to know easily:
- tls-unique for TLS =< 1.2 (RFC5929)
- tls-server-end-point =< 1.2 + 1.3 (RFC5929)
- tls-exporter for TLS = 1.3 (RFC9266)
After the jabber.ru MITM, it is time to add it:

Research direction
Start by reading RFC 5929 section 4 and the linked scram-sasl issue, then trace where this repository handles channel binding and TLS authentication. The issue does not name an implementation file, entry point, or test, so first identify the relevant Java API and existing tls-unique handling. Done means tls-server-end-point support is implemented and verified against the RFC and related XMPP SASL requirements.
