For debugging, enable verbose logging on your LDAP server and watch the logs as you perform the actions you’re inspecting on the Jabber server. Often seeing what the actual queries against the directory are will give you a much better idea of what’s going on or why something is not working as expected.

On searching a lot I came across your patch and it is exactly what the company I work for as a syadmin needs. I have managed to apply your patch and get the authentication working with active directory. But inspite of trying several configs I couldnt get the vcard and roster to work through AD.

Could you please give me some directions on how to configure so that it retrives vcard information and roster from active directory.

Any help would be appreciated. Otherwise even if you could point me to the person whom I should be asking this would be good enough.

Let me know and I shall furnish you whatever information required.

And thanks for sharing this excellent piece of work!!
