I agree on a very large system Groups are the best/only way to go and having a Group with Instant Messaging/XMPP enabled would solve this issue. But IMO on a small to medium business deployment where groups are not used then the fact that the admin has already enabled the Instant Messaging/XMPP Account for the SMC 3456 and then finds it does not work until a second Instant Messsaging/XMPP check box under the SIP User is very confusing.

Not it should *not* be enabled automatically. Admin needs to be able to decide which accounts are created on the IM service and the best way to do that is to configure such option on the group level not on the individual users level. > > In my opinion, > For a user to have an access to IM, the Instant messaging check-box > should be enabled on the configUI from user's page. > hence the current behavior is correct.Else the openfire config will > not be created and the XMPP account will also be not created successfully. > Please confirm. > > Using build:4.1.0-016813 > > Thanks, > Chitralekha. > _______________________________________________ sipx-dev mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-dev Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-dev sipXecs IP PBX -- http://www.sipfoundry.org/
