Yes. User will be able to edit his/her
Contact Information.
Is this something coming in a future
commit?
There is Laurentiu's patch and Kevin is
reviewing it:
http://track.sipfoundry.org/browse/XX-5552
Changing a user's IM/openfire Contact
information will result in the
former user being deleted from openfire and the
new one created. This
operation in effect changes the users configured
on the openfire server.
Up to now, these kinds of operations could only
be performed by the
administrator. Are we comfortable putting this
power in the user's
hands?
Good point.
I have to admit that when people say Contact Info I
think of address,
external phone number etc. I do not think that anybody
is against letting
end user to modify those.
But Robert is right: one of the data items the is 'IM
ID' and changing that
would transfer the capability to create change IM
accounts from
administrator to user. So may be - just to be on the
safe side - let's keep
this one in admin hands till we actually have OpenFire
integrated properly
and can assess what types of issues may arise if we let
users to control it.
Kevin? Laurentiu? what do you think?
D.
I agree that user shouldn't have capability to change openfire
configuration, but the way it is implemented now in sipXconfig,
even if 'IM ID' field it's hidden or not, openfire users will be
reconfigured on any change of sipx user.
That is happening because xmmp-account-info.xml file is
replicated on onSave/onDelete(user) events.

Is it possible to at least allow the user to change his/her
alternate IM id .. eg put in his/her personal/residential/public IM id
(gtalk, Yahoo,
MSN Messenger). Personal Assistant allows users to converse with
it using either primary or alternate IM Id. This of course, assumes
OpenFIre is
configured to federate with the public IM system in question.
