Hi,
I'm new to ejabberd and I have some (probably simple) questions.
I'm trying to set it up in my company so that:
- it uses ldap for authentication and vcards
- it has shared rosters (everyone has everyone)
I managed to get it to work to some extent, using mod_vcard_ldap and
auth_method "ldap" (it was absurdly easy, I must say)...
But I have some doubts:
1. nicknames in the roster
In my communicator (psi), I see every contact in form "login@domain" and
it would be really nice if it would be, for example, "Name Surname" instead.
Is it currently possible to get these values from vcard "nickname", for
example?
If not, it it possible to change those nicknames manually (or from a
script)?
Are there currently any issues with users changing nicknames of a contact
in the shared roster (I've googled a bit and it seems there could be)?
Is to possible to completely disallow users to change their rosters (and
use only the shared one - there is everyone in it anyway)?
2. vcards in ldap + writing
Is it possible to _modify_ vcards stored in ldap?
I would perfectly understand if it was considered too dangerous or simply
not the responsibility of ejabberd, but it would be really convinient for
me.
Thanks in advance,
Noix

I might have been lucky, it seems to run fine here (but read-only).

I use 1.1.2 (the newest stable, I think).

I'm not sure about that...
I don't know jabber internals, but the roster along with jids has (or can
have) "nicknames". If "nickname" is empty, psi displays jid.
What I'm looking for is setting those nicknames automatically.

I think it doesn't, at least not from vcard...
I'm 100% sure my users have pseudo set in vcards, but psi displays only
jid for them.

I don't add and delete them manually - it's done inside ejabberd, because
it's a shared roster.

Not so. I find...
With my config, all run fine for ldap identification, but impossible to use
ldap vcards...
I try it with ejabberd 1. Maybe it's the problem...

Not a server config problem but a client.

Yes. Per default, Psi display the pseudo (nickname i believe) in the roster.
If it don't find pseudo, it display the JID

Yes, but to display the pseudo in place of the JID in the roster, you must to
delete the contact and to add it back.

I think. It depend the parameters given in the rootdn and password module.
The user must to have good rights...
I hope not to say too errors.
