use. This statement includes the address of her new account.

<p>Romeo MUST now verify that the received subscription request was from

|

the moved statement (except for "gone" - see note below), the
|
||||||
|
<moved/> element in the incoming subscription request MUST be
|
||||||

ignored entirely.</p>

|
<p class="box">

|
<strong>Note:</strong> As a special case, if the attempt to retrieve the
|
||||||
|
moved statement results in an error with the <gone/> condition as
|
||||||
|
defined in RFC 6120, and that <gone/> element contains a valid
|
||||||
|
XMPP URI (e.g. <tt>xmpp:user@example.com</tt>), then the error response
|
||||||
|
MUST be handled equivalent to a <moved/> statement containing a
|
||||||
|
<new-jid/> element with the JID provided in the URI (e.g.
|
||||||
|
<tt>user@example.com</tt>).
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Upon successful verification, Romeo's client may present an appropriate
|
||||||
|
user interface, informing about Juliet's change of address, and a prompt
|
||||||
|
to accept the subscription request from the new address. On the user's
|
||||||
|
approval of such a subscription request, the client will typically want
|
||||||
|
to also send a subscription request to the contact's new JID to establish
|
||||||
|
a mutual subscription.</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Due to the potential for races between multiple clients connected to
|
||||||
|
the same account, it is NOT RECOMMENDED for a client to automatically
|
||||||
|
act upon migration notifications, but instead await manual interaction
|
||||||
|
from the user. As with any inbound subscription request it SHOULD pay
|
||||||
|
attention to roster pushes related to the contact, and update the UI
|
||||||
|
appropriately if the new contact address is authorized from another
|
||||||
|
device.</p>

<section2 topic='Server-side processing of inbound moved notification' anchor='receive-notification-server'>
|
||||||
|
<p>It is not required for Romeo's server to support this specification.
|
||||||
|
However if Romeo's server does understand this extension, it SHOULD
|
||||||
|
handle the inbound subscription request on behalf of Romeo's clients.
|
||||||
|
This improves the user experience for Romeo, especially when he has
|
||||||
|
multiple devices.</p>
|
||||||
|
|

<p>Broadly the server should follow exactly the same process as a client

would. Specifically:

<p>If verification fails (e.g. due to a missing or incorrect moved

<p>Upon successful verification, the server MUST NOT forward the stanza to

Romeo's clients, but instead MUST create a roster entry for the new JID

the authenticity of moved notifications. After publishing a moved

statement, the user should keep the statement published and the account

active for long enough for contacts to switch to the user's new account.</p>

<p>It is not necessary to remain connected to the old account during the

transition period. However the account must not be deleted, and the

server must be available.</p>

<p>In the event that the move statement is unpublished, the account is deleted,

|
or the server becomes unavailable, any contacts that have not yet transitioned

to the user's new JID will be unable to verify the migration. Those contacts
|
||||||
|
will have to manually approve the subscription from the user's new address.</p>
|

<p>Migration progress of contacts is obervable through subscription revocations to

the old account, and subscription approvals to the new account.</p>

|
|
||||||
<p><cite>RFC 6120</cite> clarifies that an incoming subscribe &PRESENCE; stanza
|
|
||||||
MUST be preserved by the server and &PRESENCE; stanzas of type
|
|
||||||
unsubscribe and unsubscribed are not preserved on the server.
|
|
||||||
Therefore, for a contact who is offline, their servers MAY have
|
|
||||||
automatically removed the original roster entry when seeing the
|
|
||||||
unsubscribe and unsubscribed stanzas. At the time of writing this XEP,
|
|
||||||
NOT saving and forwarding the presence stanzas will be the default
|
|
||||||
behavior of most servers.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>What this means is that a contact coming online after the rename
|
|
||||||
outlined above MAY only see the &PRESENCE; of type 'subscribe' with
|
|
||||||
the &MOVED; element. Clients should be aware of this behavior.

<section2 topic='Presence Ordering' anchor='ordering'>

<p>In following the principle of least surprise, it is considered good

practice to send the subscribe stanza after the unsubscribe and unsubscribed

<section2 topic='Preservation of Groups' anchor='grouping'>
|
|
||||||
<p>One of the side effects of this scheme is the potential for a contact
|
|
||||||
to lose the groups to which it had organized the original JID. Clients
|
|
||||||
aware of the &MOVED; element can mitigate this with the following rules.
|
|
||||||
</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<ul>
|
|
||||||
<li>If the contacts client receives an unsubscribed with a &MOVED;
|
|
||||||
element, remove the subscription but initiate a roster push for the
|
|
||||||
original JID with the subscription set to 'none'. When the new
|
|
||||||
subscription is received the new JID MAY be placed into the roster
|
|
||||||
in the same groups as the original JID and the original JID can then be
|
|
||||||
removed from the roster.
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<li>If a subscribe is received with a &MOVED; element, the client MAY
|
|
||||||
automatically place the new JID into the same groups as the original JID.
|
|
||||||
</li>
|
|
||||||
</ul>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>As discussed in 'Contacts Offline at the Time the Rename Occurs', a
|
|
||||||
server MAY automatically handle the unsubscribe and unsubscribed stanzas.
|
|
||||||
If this occurs it will be impossible to preserve the original groups.

|

|
<p>There are two general approaches for verification - network-based
|
||||||
|
verification, or cryptographic verification. Network-based verification
|
||||||
|
(as described in this document) requests a verification statement from
|
||||||
|
the user's old account. Cryptographic verification would check a move
|
||||||
|
notification against a previously-established cryptographic identify of
|
||||||
|
the user.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Network-based verification:</p>
|
||||||
<ul>
|
<ul>
|
||||||
<li>urn:xmpp:moved:0</li>
|
<li>Pro: Simple and easy to implement</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Con: depends on the original server being available and supporting PEP</li>
|
||||||
</ul>
|
</ul>
|
||||||
<p>Upon advancement of this specification from a status of Experimental
|
<p>Cryptographic verification:</p>
|
||||||
to a status of Draft, the ®ISTRAR; shall add the foregoing namespace
|
<ul>
|
||||||
to the registry located at &NAMESPACES;, as described in Section 4 of
|
<li>Pro: Can work even if the original server goes offline or begins blocking
|
||||||
&xep0053;.
|
migration attempts.</li>
|
||||||
</p>
|
<li>Con: More complex implementation.</li>

</section2>
|
<li>Con: Requires user and contacts to manage/track cryptographic keys and

|
identies. It may be possible to piggyback on top of an existing cryptographic
|
||||||
&NSVER;
|
layer, e.g. OMEMO. However this would eliminate the server-side assistance,
|

|
and OMEMO support is not universal among clients.</li>

</ul>

<p>Ultimately this document defines a network-based verification method, but
|

leaves an obvious path to extend the protocol with alternative verification

methods (either in an update to this document, or defined by other

documents).</p>
