Jabber 10.5 for Windows - Photo display from AD profile

[Asif Khan]

Hi All,

I have CUPS 9.1 deployed with CUCM 9.1.

CUCM is MS-AD integrated. we have just attached pictures to user profiles in AD. They show up in outlook just fine.

Now we want these pictures to show up in Jabber chat/profiles as well.

we have 2 jabber versions: 9.6 and 10.5.

I have read through the forums stating mention it in the Jabber-config.XML file for the directory type (EDI or UDS) and add the photo attribute, but I don't know where to put this file, and whether this file is by default or we have to explicitly place it. I know I can't find it for my 10.5 version on windows 7.

I am kind of lost in this. Help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance..

AK.

All you ask is within the install and config guides

also review the directory integration chapter.

Thanks for pointing it out...I followed the directions and placed the file in the location...tested a few attributes...Viola! worls like a charm.

But the document does not list the "Directory" tag, (Which I believe is used for the photos).

]and It does not say anything about displaying photos (apart from "ShowContactPhotos" tag which does nothing yet).

What do I add to get the pics from AD to chow up in Jabber?

Thanks!

You didn't review the directory integration chapter as I told you before, did you???

Good morning Jamie.

Thanks for your reply. I did go through it and had placed the required tags in place. Below is my current Jabber-config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<config version="1.0">
<Directory>
<DirectoryServerType>EDI</DirectoryServerType>
<ConnectionType >1</ConnectionType>
<PrimaryServerName >10.10.10.10</PrimaryServerName>
<ServerPort1>389</ServerPort1>
<UseWindowsCredentials>1</UseWindowsCredentials>
<SearchBase1>DC=ca,DC=Mydomain,DC=com</SearchBase1>
<PhotoSource>thumbnailPhoto</PhotoSource>
</Directory>
<Client>
<spell_check_enabled>true</spell_check_enabled>
</Client>
<options>
<Set_Status_Inactive_Timeout>3</Set_Status_Inactive_Timeout>
<ShowContactPictures>true</ShowContactPictures>
</options>
</config>

The pictures are stored in Binary within AD.

Our CUCM is integrated with AD, and is set to use UDS for search.

I know we cant use <PhotoSource> in UDS, so that's why I set the directory type to EDI.

Still no picture.

Thanks

Whoop...got it working. Just had to give it some time to retrieve the pics.

do the pics download automatically, or do we have to "View Profile" to get the pic? thats what it seemed like to me.

Thanks again man!
