Hi, I’‘ve been trying wildfire for a few monts and I think it’'s just wonderful…
I’‘m trying to share groups between servers, I’'m not using LDAP or anything difficult…
I just have my Suse servers working on different cities, and I have groups where I keep all the users splitted by departments… so here is my question: Can I share a entire group of 50 users with another server located at a different city, without adding remote users for each server?
I’‘m having the same issue. Even thought of creating local domain security group to include users from another group, but I’‘m having problems with DCs interoconnections. Two different forests, and I don’'t even think if it is gonna work.
May be there is better solution, but you can share all users between two servers. Setup them to use the same user database. Check Custom Database Integration Guide for details.
Your solution is correct. While defining a shared group it is possible to add users from other servers but as you will see in the admin console there is a warning message saying that remote users should accept presence subscriptions. By using a plugin that accepts them is a valid solution as long as you can control presence subscriptions from undesired users.
As you noticed the server will show the JID of the user and not the name of the user. The server was prepared to handle that case but we never implemented it. If someone has some time to finish the implementation I would gladly give you some pointers.
