I have always wondered about which domains should actually be included
into a TLS certificate for use in XMPP services once an SRV record is
in place. Do I need a certificate which covers xmpp.example.com? Or
does one for example.com suffice, given that that's what is actually
part of the JIDs? Or do I even need one that covers
_xmpp-server._tcp.example.com and _xmpp-client._tcp.example.com? A
combination of these three?

If any more than one of these is required, this rules out simple certs
only covering a CN, at least one SAN is required.

Ideas, anyone? Is there a documentation of the actual practise?

Greetings
Marvin
