I read tons about this question in this forum but i am not clear about that, because this i expose my case:
I have installed Openfire about 6 or 7 years ago in a little business with about 20-25 users distributed about 4 sites/headquarters, i have installed Spark and Miranda in a windows computers and all users have in your spark messenger 4 groups with users inside in each site like this -> (group site1->user1,user2,etc) (group site2->user1,2, etc…) and each user can communicate with each user in the business through groups/site, i install this about many years ago and all users and groups about each site are in LDAP windows. When i have a new user, i create in a Windows DC and add to group/site and automatically i have a user in Spark in group/site i add, i not make anything more about this
And now, i install a new Openfire 4.0.4 directly in a Windows DC 2012 (maybe too risky???) and i configurate LDAP to DC and its working good, i read all users and all groups, the Spark clients i change the server to connect a new server and login good and i see in the server connected, but… i can not configure this spark clients ¿?? if i go one by one spark and add users one by one its working, but i can not to say to 25 users how can add and organize the other 25 users, and in a “users lists” in panel Openfire web i can go one by one users and configure one by one add users but its a more heavy work, i can not make a template or simply add groups/site in each user, if i can add the four groups in each user i’m satisfied
Please i’m impatient to hear ideas on how to handle this case
Thank you for all your ideas
PD: I want see my old config but now i can not enter to admin because another problem
Go to Users/Groups -> Groups in the webinterface. Choose one of the groups and go to the section called “Contact List (Roster) Sharing”. Make sure " " is selected and mark “Share group with additional users”. A list with all your groups should appear now and “All users” should be selected. Click “Save Contact List Settings” and repeat this for all the groups.
Thank you Michael for your support a thousands of thank you but unfortunately i wanted to do this from the beginning but I can not, the error that I have nothing else to enter into groups is “Not allowed: the group account system is read-only.” and i can not share group with additional users
I read tons about that and i’m not secure if with ldap config can i make this config, anybody can somebody tell me if that its true ¿???
As far as i understand this error has nothing to do with your problem. “Not allowed: the group account system is read-only.” means that your connection to the LDAP server is read-only. You can(and should) not change any configuration on your LDAP server from the openfire webinterface.
One thing I forgot in my previous answer: Did you enter a contact list group name?
Thank you Michael and Speedy, i love you both :-), this night i try another time with howto of speedy
It’s strange because the groups and AD its the same that i have before and working with and old versión of Openfire in a Centos5, the only that i change its an W2003 SRV to a new 2012R2, @speedy Do you have a 2012 AD ???
Finally works, i thing that is because my groups are “universal”, i change to domain the group and now its workink and i can populate the groups to all users
