Name: ejabberd_ad

Purpose: Authentification via Active Directory

Author: Alex Gorbachenko, Stanislav Bogatyrev

Type: Patch

Requirements: ejabberd 1.0.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2

Download: ejabberd_ad homepage , Instructions and patch for ejabberd 1.1.2

I tried to make ejabberd work with AD. It works fine for me. :-)

The first version of patch for ejabberd-1.0.0 can be found here:ejabber_ad_001.patch.gz

Patch for ejabberd-1.1.1 : ejabber_ad_002.patch.gz

For ejabberd 1.1.2 you need only mod_shared_roster_ldap.erl.

Some brief instructions in Russian:

mod_vcard_ad - Support for vcard search and userinfo from AD
mod_shared_roster_ad - Support for shared roster, based on AD department description

Can you (or someone else) do this?

Not sure of what your suggestion is actually.

I mean that it would use Group LDAP object instead of Department field.
For example I have users Bob, Mary, John which are members of group "Managers". In AD it is simpler to manage members of the group, than manage Department fields of every user.
