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

[Anthony Holloway]

I'm not sure if this helps you or not, but you can have per CSF config
files.  Just go into the CSF device in CUCM, scroll to the last field
(Cisco Support Field) and type in something like
*configurationFile=jason-jabber-config.xml
*(all lower case but the name is really unimportant.  Could have been
banana.xml).  Then, create your new jason-jabber-config.xml file with your
edits in it, and upload to TFTP and restart TFTP.  Then sign out and sign
in of Jabber.

What should happen is Jabber will download it's phone config file
CSFjaarons.cnf.xml or the like, and in there it tells jabber to grab the
new jason-jabber-config.xml, which it will do after it downloads the
jabber-config.xml global file.  If this works, then the contents of
jabber-config.xml on the local machine will be *replaced* with the contents
of jason-jabber-config.xml.

This is all documented in the Jabber Install Guide and is in the section
for Global and Group configuration files.
