<p>As specified in <cite>RFC 3920</cite> and updated in <cite>RFC 6120</cite>, during the stream negotiation process an XMPP client can present a certificate (a "client certificate"). If a JabberID is included in a client certificate, it is encapsulated as an id-on-xmppAddr Object Identifier ("xmppAddr"), i.e., a subjectAltName entry of type otherName with an ASN.1 Object Identifier of "id-on-xmppAddr" as specified in Section 13.7.1.4 of <cite>RFC 6120</cite>.</p>

<p>Server2 advertises SASL mechanisms. If the 'from' attribute of the stream header sent by Server1 can be matched against one of the identifiers provided in the certificate following the matching rules from <cite>RFC 6125</cite>, Server2 SHOULD advertise the SASL EXTERNAL mechanism. If no match is found, Server2 closes Server1's TCP connection.</p>

<p>Server1 considers EXTERNAL to be its preferred SASL mechanism. For server-to-server authentication, the &lt;auth/&gt; element MAY include an authorization identity, however a future version of this specification might disallow use of the authorization identity in server-to-server authentication (in the following example, Server1 includes an empty response of "=" as shown in <cite>RFC 6120</cite>).</p>
