LDAP and Shared Groups creation

Openfire Openfire Support
1

I’m importing groups and users from my OpenLDAP database and that works great. However, I would like users to automatically show up on on each others Roster’s because i’m programatically adding users and groups to my LDAP db, therefore doing it manually is not an option.

This JIRA issue shows that it’s planned and some people have created patches to get this functionality.

http://issues.igniterealtime.org/browse/OF-302

This post hints at this feature being implemented and the link inside points to the main page which contains the release of beta 3.7.0

The post contains a list of features, one of which is “Fixed a bug with shared rosters within a LDAP environment.”. I assumed this is the feature I was looking for, but I do not see any documentation for it.

Anyone have any idea how I would ago about doing this?

I tried making a plugin and registered with the GroupEventDispatcher to automatically modify the groups as Openfire sees them being created but it was not able to pick up the events from the LdapGroupProvider.

I would really like to not have to compile from scratch with some homebrew workaround

Thanks,

faffi

You could add all the users to one ldap group and set the group roster to be shared with everyone.

Any new users you add to the group in ldap would automatically be added to the roster.

If you do multiple groups, each one will have to be set manually to be shared with everyone.

This is how I set my groups up.
