Maybe, maybe not. Still not working for me. But, it's supposed to be a  
Kerberized app, so a single interface is probably the right way to go.

However, when it works, it's supposed to pick up a TGT and cache it in  
a credentials file in /tmp, right? At the moment that's not happening  
for me, even though in the admin console under System Properties it  
says:

    sasl.gssapi.config   /etc/openfire/gss.conf      (or jaas.conf)
    sasl.gssapi.debug    true
    sasl.mechs           GSSAPI
    update.lastCheck     1306240531243
    xmpp.auth.anonymous  true

BTW, the Stanford IT Lab blog article on Openfire seems to suggest  
that the additional code from MIT (which produces a single file,  
mitopenfire.jar) is only necessary for the JAAS setup. Is that correct?

Cheers,
