Automatically populating buddy list

Openfire Openfire Support
1

Hi,

Ive got Wildfire server setup which is using LDAP/Active Directory.

I want all of the users Spark buddy lists to be automatically populated with all other users. This would save me having to add all users to everyones Spar buddy list!!

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

Will

I haven’'t played with an LDAP based setup but I have something similar to this working with a standalone installation. I have a small number of users and have added them all to a group which I then force all users in the group to have on their roster. I know if you use the subscription plugin you can force new users to be a part of a selected group as well.

As an aside, I did this because subscriptions seem to be broken with gaim most of the time and I just got tired of people not being able to add each other on their buddy lists (we just hired a new person and it was a headache when I got to wildfire setup).

Will,

I have this working perfectly with AD/LDAP I have attached the LDAP section of my config file for an example

cn member description <![CDATA[ 
      (&
           (objectClass=group)
           (memberOf=CN=JabberAccess,OU=Jabber,DC=domain,DC=com)
           (member=)

)]]>

I have found that the relative distingushed naming nomenclature works best for LDAP logins to search the tree.

Within AD I have all my users sorted into security groups that equal the roster list groups with there respective users included. I then have created a Security Group called JabberAccess, which LDAP filters against, located within the JabberAccess group I have nested all the roster list security groups. I then went and published the groups within the Users/Groups jabber interface.

To maintain this all I need to do is to add a user to a Security Roster Group within AD and typically within 30 minutes (LDAP refresh timeout) that user appears as part of the roster list.

within my config post you will see the Vcard setup as well.

Hope this helps,
