Vcard without LDAP

Openfire Openfire Support
1

Hello!

Is it possible to have decent vcard support without using going the rough LDAP road at all?

Over here we use Wildfire to link support&sales people with their peers as well as customers. This is also why I am eagerly waiting for JM-701!

Although all the internal people are in a Windows AD and I could use LDAP I did not do it, because there are just so few and I wanted to have all users (intenal & external) in one database.

Now, it would be very cool if I could provide vcards for our internal people, so that hey are able to introduce themselves in a nice way to the customer.

Is this already possible with just plain vanilla Spark & Wildfire alone?

Since I never played with Vcards in a Jabber environment: What can I actually do with it? Enable the remote partner to retrieve my Vcard so he can directly import it as a contact in his outlook?

pls shine some light onto this, thanks!

I found that it was quite easy setting up vcards. it took me about half a day to get all the mappings right, but i’'m quite happy with it now. mainly because I only have to keep a backup of my wildfire.xml file. The “physicalDeliveryOfficeName” attribute is the “Office” field. Utilizing this vcard, I was able to get all pertinent data into spark.
