Hi,

It's perfectly ok to disagree with the priority. However, right now, MyBuddy
by definition does not work  when the sipxopenfire component uses LDAP for
authentication.

I posted this comment on the issue:

"If it's possible to reconfigure Openfire to work around this issue, I agree
that this is preferable.
In my experience, though, Openfire uses _either_ LDAP _or_ local users, not
a combination.

With the current config, both the admin user and mybuddy user in the
Openfire DB are useless when LDAP auth is enabled - and MyBuddy will not
work.
The imbot is unable to login to Openfire unless a user exists in LDAP with
the exact same username and password as is defined in the SIPXCONFIG
database.

It's already possible to change the imbot username in the GUI (System ->
Servers -> <servername> -> MyBuddy), so it should be easy enough to add a
password field that updates the SIPXCONFIG database.
The database field in question can be found in table "setting_value" where
path = "imbot/imPassword".

By changing this manually, I am able to get the imbot to login using LDAP,
but it's not exactly intuitive... "



I hope this clarifies the issue....




Med vennlig hilsen / Best regards
