[cisco-voip] Jabber for Windows 10.5 and Preferred Name field in LDAP/AD?

[Jason Aarons (AM)]

Reading thru Technet the displayName is a concatenated Firstname + Lastname….in MS AD.

I think you have to use the displayName field- http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/jabber/Windows/9_6/InstallConfig/JABW_BK_CDFE9752_00_installation-and-configuration_chapter_0111.html#CJAB_RF_A43D0028_00

Is there a way to set the Preferred Name (Active Directory/LDAP) field in Jabber for Windows ?

For example the boss goes by Tim, but in AD he is listed as John.  His birthname is John but goes by Tim.  In AD there is a Preferred Name field.  Not all users have Preferred Name populated.

Can the Jabber client query to LDAP look at Preferred Name first then Firstname?
