RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Jabber and AD authentication

Thu, 28 Sep 2006 14:21:22 -0700

Jabber supports the use of SRV records and works beautifully against AD for authentication.  I got a Jabber server up and running for my company as a test about a year ago, however I was extremely let down by the quality of the clients.  Each client seemed to have its own quirk, bug, or issue and I eventually dropped the idea for another attempt at a later date when the clients have reached a reliable level of quality.  Hopefully they have reached that point now.

Assuming it can authenticate against an LDAP source it should work fine
- never done Jabber but they're all about the same when it comes to
this...
