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

[Jason Aarons (AM)]

Customer didn’t want CTI Deskphone or Softphone so no CSF was created.  Just Chat and to see if they have a voicemail. Rather odd request. ☺

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.

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

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?
