Great !! Another reason for users to prefer Jabber to MSN !!

But I'm working on a subject where I have to proove that we need tokens to
authenticate the users who want to chat with our IM client (based on Jabber).
For this reason, I'm looking for a way to spoof a client ID. Even if it's hard
to do, I would like to know where I can find the description (or the source
code) of the mechanism employed by a Jabber server.

Thanks
Michaël
