After creating a group, Messenger does not work anymore

I am using jive messenger with LDAP. It works perfectly fine, until I create a group. when I do this, I cannot log into the messenger anymore. I can still log into the admin page.

I uninstalled jive messenger, and cleared jive from the registry, then set it up again, it worked perfectly fine until I started messing with groups. then it will not work again. when I try to log into it with a messenging client, it just hangs at logging in…

there are also a bunch of errors produced in the logs.

if somone could help me with this I would appreciate it a great deal.

thank you

do you think this could be the error that is causing it?

Also, here are the first few lines of the debug log, the section from the beginning of 21:09:32 to the end of 21:09:32 basically just keeps repeating, with different user names…

Hey Randy,

That is exactly the problem that is causing it. The problem is that the username “conference rooms” is invalid since it has an empty space. XMPP does not allow JIDs to have empty spaces or other “special” characters. Try changing the name of the user and let me know how it goes.

Regards,

– Gato

Gato,

It really isnt feasible for me to change this name in active directory. Do you know if there is any other way around this? When I setup LDAP, is it possible to filter out JID’'s with blank spaces in them? Possible using the search feature. I dont need to use the Conference Room Account, but it still imports it from active directory.

thanks

-Randy

I got rid of Conference Rooms, now I have the following error in the error.log. I am affraid that I have a lof of accounts in AD with spaces. Is there anything else I can do?

I have realized that all of the errors that I am getting are on org units, or contacts, none of the “users” or when the ObjectCatagory is “CN=Person”. how can I filter the ldap results for only users, or for ObjectCatagory is “CN=Person”

figured it out on my own, thanks gato
