There is SSL. Just that:
1) they broke it in a newer version and never fixed it in any
reasonable timeframe (3 months)
2) getting the certificate installed was a complete mess. Had to convert
the standard certificate in some terrible format and took a lot of
effort to figure out.

Current server does SSL IIRC. Though maybe by now it expired again.


What I had to go through for SSL:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592836#c8

Couldn't quickly see the bug about openfire messing up their SSL
support. 'Fix' was easy though, downgrading.
