How to configure Jabber photos in a Web Server when using LDAP integration

[Jaime Valencia]

In this video, I'll show you how to configure the user's photos in a MS IIS Web Server for Jabber, when using LDAP as the directory.

You can find how to install IIS on your server here:

Some other references on how to create a new website on IIS can be found here:

In my lab they're hosted on a W2012 Standard x64 server, as I mentioned, there are several other options, and you can find references on how to install and configure for pretty much any version on google.
