There are various approaches you can take here.

Usually how it works:

1. The XMPP user gets authenticated to the XMPP server,
   by the platform (e.g. Tiki, or in the quintagroup article Plone).
2. Often this happens with the platform making a BOSH HTTP call to the XMPP
   server, to establish a session and to get the BOSH tokens(RID, SID) back.
3. The platform then returns those tokens to converse.js, and it uses them to
   attach to the pre-established session.
