Pre-authenticate active directory users

Hi OpenFire Community :slight_smile:

I installed an Openfire 4.2.2 on an Ubuntu 16.04 and specified our AD as userbackend when setting up. Everything works so far and OF has pulled the user from the AD.

The question now is: is it possible to make the users known all directly with each other so that they do not need start to search each other and to authenticate at first time when they start pidgin? That would be n consuming a lot of time : confused:

We want to use Pidgin as the client.
