I apologize if this issue has been posted already.  I've been unable to find a solution so far.

We have installed Openfire 3.5.2 on RedHat 5.2.  We are using Active Directory for authentication.  Our clients are running Pidgin 2.3.1-2.el4.

The issue we're running into is our Buddy List.  When a user adds a buddy, the recipient is able to "Authorize" with no problem, and the user is listed under the requesters buddy list.  The recipient is then asked if they want to add the requester as a buddy.  The screen name is listed properly (user@openfireservername).  When they click "Add", the original requester can authorize, but current requester will no see the user twice on the their buddy list.  One shows logged in and the other shows "Not Authorized".  Any attempt to clean this up through removal will remove both entries.

Does anyone have an idea how to resolve this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, John
