LDAP contacts and photos for jabber ipad, iphone and Android not working

Hermanus Janse van Vuuren — Sun, 17 Mar 2019 23:16:35 GMT

Hi Guys,

I have been up and down this forum and google following all the settings and configurations but I do not get my ldap directory synced with my mobile devices which means I do not see their photos nor any contact details I can only IM them from my contacts.

From my ipad and iphone logs I keep getting the following error.

-- 2014-06-25 11:11:18.181 DEBUG [a32c000] - [csf.person.ldap][bind] LDAP bind error. code=-1, msg=Can't contact LDAP server

My jabber-config.xml file works 100% for Jabber 4 Windows photos everything.

I have the UC Services configured and added to my end user.

I have the LDAP config on my TCT, TAB and BOT devices with no luck.

What am I missing or doing wrong? Why is it working 100% for J4W but not my mobile clients.

Any suggestions, examples or advise would be appreciated.

Do you have configure the LDAP UC service for the iPad, and the BDI directory entry for the mobile devices in you jabber-config.xml file?

The UC services for LDAP on the CUCM is configured yes as well as on my IM&Presence server.

I have EDI directory config in for my Jabber 4 Windows as well above the BDI directory config.

The very fact that you are

Amit Kumar — Wed, 25 Jun 2014 19:19:33 GMT

The very fact that you are receiving Bind error message signifies that the binding is not successful using "BDIUseJabberCredentials"; are your users provisioned for read only access to the LDAP; if not can you try to use " BDIConnectionUsername" and "BDIConnectionPassword" to see if that resolves your issue.

- Please rate if this helps.

Hermanus Janse van Vuuren — Fri, 27 Jun 2014 07:52:01 GMT

I have tried " BDIConnectionUsername" and "BDIConnectionPassword" and still no directory bind.

Just to add to my frustrations the Jabber voice works perfect. The screen icon but when I sign into the blue icon Jabber IM & Presence no AD info gets populated.

I have the exact same problem

Rene Charbonneau — Fri, 27 Jun 2014 14:19:58 GMT

I have the exact same problem.

But this worked on Jabber for Windows 9.2.1 (and I think in early versions of the iPhone client).

create a web server , and select the folder of contact photos, must be with the username: isalazar.jpg

sure you can view the contact photos via web

So are you saying the BDI

Jim Jones — Tue, 01 Jul 2014 12:22:28 GMT

So are you saying the BDI directory entry is necessary even if you have full LDAP integration done for CUCM and CUP? Jabber for Windows has no issues pulling the correct information including photos from AD.

Hi Jim,

Hermanus Janse van Vuuren — Tue, 01 Jul 2014 13:13:10 GMT

Hi Jim, Jabber for Windows is not the issue here, Jabber IM for ipad, iphone and android not pulling the correct info from AD.

Yes, it doesn't matter if

Jaime Valencia — Tue, 01 Jul 2014 14:32:41 GMT

Yes, it doesn't matter if CUCM is LDAP integrated, that's not related. J4W will use SRV records by default to try to locate EDI (default directory) and will look DIRECTLY into the LDAP/GC server for contact resolution.

If you want to change that behavior, field mapping, EDI/UDS, search base, etc, use the .xml file.

Jabber for other platforms, excluding Jabber Video for iPad, require BDI directory configuration in the .xml

Mac version also depends on the .xml config for this.

Hi sirkalliemarie,after a few

Rene Charbonneau — Wed, 02 Jul 2014 14:47:52 GMT

Hi sirkalliemarie,

after a few days, I have got it now up and running with the attatched config.

Jabber for Mac (whoch also uses the BDI config) is now acting the same way as Jabber for Windows.

Jabber for iPhone/Android are working fine with the config. BUT, the contact photos (as well as the full username) does not show up automatically. Jabber for iPhone/Android retrieve them when I'am search the ldap.

It seems to me, that unlike Jabber for Windows/Mac the mobile clients do not automatically issue a ldap query at startup. After you search for a user the mobile client issue a ldap query as well as a query for your locale phone contacts.

A few things that I have learned so far:

1) Jabber for Mac/Android/iPhone (all BDI clients) does not seem to support more then one LDAP/AD server (unlike EDI integration)

2) Jabber for Mac/Android/iPhone (all BDI clients) does not seem to support more then one search base (unlike EDI integration)

3) BDI integration does not seem to support global catalog so you can't use DC=test,DC=local as search base -> that su** if your users are scattered over your directory

It works for me (now), but I'am really disappointed by Cisco. I hope that newer versions of Jabber for Mac/Android/Jabber will have EDI support. But I doubt that...

Kind Regards,

René

EDIT: I have just tested Jabber for iPad (the same app as for iPhone!) and it works as well as Jabber for Mac/Windows. Names in contact list are displayed "correctly" (not as UPN) and pictures are automatically retrieved from the directory. So just the iPhone/Android version of this app has such a crappy BDI integration.

Hi Rene, I also got it

Hermanus Janse van Vuuren — Wed, 02 Jul 2014 15:05:43 GMT

Hi Rene,

I also got it working for iphone.ipad and android my issue was syntax in my xml file wordpad not such a good editor for xml files.

My Jabber for windows, ipad, iphone and android all works now from my single jabber-config.xml file with both EDI and BDI directory config.

Thank you very much oooo and yes I had to change the photosource to thumnailname under BDI config. Under EDI I use jpegPhoto as my photosource.

Hi sirkalliemarie,Do you have

Emmanuel Valdez — Tue, 08 Jul 2014 01:02:47 GMT

Hi sirkalliemarie,

Do you have these settings for BDI integration into jabber-config.xml?

<BDIPhotoUriSubstitutionToken>sAMAccountName</BDIPhotoUriSubstitutionToken>

<BDIPhotoUriWithToken>http://x.x.x.x/photos/sAMAccountName.jpg</BDIPhotoUriWithToken>

Where x.x.x.x is your web server.

These indicate to Apple devices where they have to acquired the avatars.

I have the OPPOSITE problem.

rattelmattias — Tue, 15 Dec 2015 20:32:47 GMT

I have the OPPOSITE problem. When Windows Users are connected to the VPN they cannot contact the LDAP Server.

However MAC users connected to the VPN (also using Cisco AnyConnect) CAN connect to the LDAP and search the directory.

Is there a way to configure Windows clients to use BDI if EDI fails?

no there is no way for

Amit Kumar — Tue, 15 Dec 2015 20:38:05 GMT

no there is no way for windows to use the BDI code. BDI is meant for non windows OS only.
