I've done my testing with .PEM certificates which is normally what 
openssl gives you. Note that you'll need to use the latest build of 
Exodus in order for the SASL EXTERNAL stuff to work. Obviously, your 
server needs to send it back as a possible mechanism as well :) Make 
sure the cert you use has an XMPP jid encoded per RFC 3920, otherwise, 
the server needs a way to somehow map a client cert to a client jid. If 
this is the case, exodus should do the right thing when it gets back the 
<jid> element after we do resource binding.

Eventually, we may be sucking certs from the built-in windows cert 
store, but right now the .PEM stuff was easiest to do with the existing 
SSL libs we are using.
