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

[Jason Aarons (AM)]

So nichname is on by default right in J4W 10.5 client?

It would appear they need to set the displayName field to the nickname.

I'm not sure how reliable or easy to deploy this will be, but I just used the jabber config file generator and mapped my nickname field, and it showed up.  I can find myself in the directory with either "anthony" or "tony"

For the record, I don't go by Tony.  ;)

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?
