22 Chapter 3 Mapping Outlook and Jabber MomentIM IDs This chapter describes how to map Microsoft Outlook user IDs to Jabber MomentIM user IDs in the following environments: Microsoft Exchange server using Microsoft Active Directory Common Name (CN) attribute Microsoft Active Directory with different domains Outlook and Jabber MomentIM domains do not match This chapter includes: Exchange Server with Active Directory CN Attribute Different Domains for and Jabber MomentIM Active Directory and Different Domains Map IDs within Outlook Exchange Server with Active Directory CN Attribute If an Exchange server is being used, s from other users in the Exchange server will not come from the standard SMTP style of jsmith@example.com. When Jabber Outlook Add-in looks at an Exchange server address, it only sees the Active Directory Common Name (CN) attribute associated with the Exchange server. Jabber MomentIM Outlook Add-in Administrator Guide Page 22

23 Chapter 3 Mapping Outlook and Jabber MomentIM IDs If the Active Directory CN attribute for users is the same as the username portion of their Jabber ID, then Jabber Outlook Add-in can recognize this by adding the <JabberOutlookAddinConfig> element and its attributes before the </prefs> tag in the branding.xml file. If Active Directory has CN=JSMITH, and John Smith's Jabber ID is jsmith@example.com, then setting <CorpName>example.com</CorpName> allows Jabber Outlook Add-in to map the Outlook username to a Jabber ID in the contact list automatically. To add the JabberOutlookAddinConfig element Before you begin, review the branding.xml file information in the Jabber MomentIM Branding Guide and in the Changing Branding Settings chapter. 1. Using an XML editor, open the branding.xml file which is located in: - If you are using the Jabber MomentIM redistribution package: C:\Jabber MomentIM_stage - If you are using the original Jabber MomentIM setup executable: C:\Program Files\Jabber Inc\Jabber MomentIM 2. Add the following element and its children before the </pref> tag at the end of the branding.xml file. <JabberOutlookAddinConfig> <s><![cdata[ <option> <CorpName>example.com</CorpName> </option> ]]></s> </JabberOutlookAddinConfig> The <s> </s> tags contain the <![CDATA[ and ]]> tags to interpret the data as character data, not as XML markup. Therefore, < is escaped as < and > is escaped as >. 3. In the <CorpName> attribute, add your Jabber MomentIM domain. See Step 2 for the example. 4. Save the branding.xml file. - To modify other branding settings before you deploy Jabber MomentIM to your users along with the Jabber MomentIM plug-ins, follow the instructions in the Jabber MomentIM Branding Guide and in the Changing Branding Settings chapter. - To add plug-ins, follow the instructions in the Jabber MomentIM Plug-in Pack Administrator Guide.
