[jdev] dialback question

[Ben Turner]

Hello,

We are implementing an XMPP server-to-server stack that supports dialback
authentication.

Step five of chapter 8.3 of RFC3920 states that an implementation may re-use an
existing connection for dialback.

Step nine however, states that the Authoritative Server should terminate the
stream between itself and the Receiving Server after dialback.

What connections should step five re-use? I have been sniffing jabberd traffic
to figure out how it behaves, and as far as I can see it does not close the
dialback connection after authentication has happened, and subsequently re-uses
it. Can I assume that if I close the the dialback streams after authentication,
my partner will create a new stream for authetication in the other direction?

A little clarification from experienced people would be welcome :-)

Thanks,

Ben
