User autoriz buddy

Dear Openfire Supportboard,

i’ve got a small problem authorizing users in my company.

The Openfireserver authenticates the Users via Active Directory. From one of our AD-Severs, all Clients get a successfull connection to the openfireserver.

All users can search for each other and add them as a buddy, but they can´t get any authorization from them, because the authorization-request won´t show up on the client at all. We are using Pidgin as Client.

Any ideas or an FAQ Link, regarding this issue?

Thanks for your help and best regards

Markus
