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

[Jason Aarons (AM)]

Wondering if I can have only this in my jabber-config.xml?   Really wish I could push this via CallManager setting and not have to touch the jabber-config.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<config version="1.0">
<Directory>
   <Nickname>Nickname</Nickname>
   <BDINickname>Nickname</BDINickname>
</Directory>
</config>

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?
