Subject: Custom SASL mechanism

Is it possible to write your own SASL mechanism?

I have searched for a way to inreject my own mechanism but not found a way to do this.

yes this is possible. But you have to modify or extend your xmpp server for this and the library.
On the library side this is pretty easy. I suggest to study the code of the SASL Plain mechanism agsXMPP.Sasl.Plain.PlainMechanism.

Thanks for the fast reply.

Since this is for commercial use I will be using the Matrix sdk, posted in the wrong forum.

The server side changes are already done, its only the client side left.

Do i need to recompile the lib or can i just inject my own Mechanism somewhere at runtime?

Is agsXMPP.Sasl.Plain.PlainMechanism. implementation also valid for the Matrix SDK?

yes, there is currently no way to add new SASL mechanisms without modifications of the library sources.

the implementation is similar, but not the same.
