I had a similar setup and it would be realy nice if somebody can tell us if this is possible. It would make a nice feature for future versions if it’'s not implemented rigth now.
LDAP doesn’‘t work like that, and Wildfire doesn’'t support this. It does, however, support pulling “vcard” data from LDAP/AD and sending to the client. IMO, the best place for this type of data display would be on the client side.
If the user information is being pulled from LDAP (active directory in our case), can the user change their nick name, we havent found how to do that in spark…
I’‘m pretty sure all LDAP functionality in the Openfire server is read-only. So, the answer to your question is No, there’'s no way to update your vcard info in LDAP/AD from the client.
