Deploying Jabber on PC and MAC for BE-6K

[vdarienz]

Hi,

i ask your help to clarify if i can deploy using BE6K jabber softclient o PC and MAC for a customer that doesn't want to synchronize its user DB with CUCM, or for example does not have one.

I am asking because looking at the deploying guide for Jabber where it is used as softclient and IM/presence CLient in an ON premise fashion, it seems that a synchronization with a Directory Service is needed:

What happen if the customer doesn't have it?

Can i use Jabber in any case?

Thanks
V

Hi,

Sure, it's possible to use without a directory server.

To provision the user in the first place just add manually or use bulk upload.  I'm assuming that you are doing something like this now.

You then need to tell the Jabber clients to use the UDS for contact information instead of LDAP.  Take a look at for details on how to do this.
