I’m wondering why a company wide ldap-based rooster / buddy list still isn’t available in Openfire!
We have our users stored in a ldap database and I want new users to find all company members automaticlly in their buddy list, without having to contact them manually. As I could see this feature is only available when using the internal Openfire database, but not with openldap.
Is there maybe a ldap-template that I can generate for solving this problem? Or do I need special search filters?
You could create an ALL USERS group in your LDAP, and then map that group to a roster group in openfire. As long as you have everyone being a memeber of that group, they will then show up on the roster
I already have everybody in the ou=people (spread among serveral different other departments). Is there a way to set a ldap-filter that reads/displays all members ou=people accross the complete DIT?
I don’t know if thats possible or not. I think your best best is to just create a security group, and then make everyone a member of that group. Depending on how many users you have, it shouldn’t take but a few minutes.
