Ebox LDAP Configuration (OpenFire)

[jason_xtreme]

Ive recently installed egroupware on our local server and thanks to posts from users about same was able to configure and use the EBOX LDAP server with that and a number other applications.
Ive used the packaged jabber server but found Openfire to better match our needs the program connects to the LDAP directory but i cant seem to get the right settings to allow it to read from the groups.
getting help here: http://www.igniterealtime.org/builds/openfire/docs/latest/documentation/ldap-guide.html
it asks for the following
Group and member fields but only returns the "User" group as empty or returns names of the users instead of the groups
if im making any sense and anyone has experience with these two please comment
Added note
What Openfire seems to be asking for is the group mappings from the LDAP server im using webmin to try and find the group field in the ldap config with no luck

Solved (I think)
by using dc="ebox"  only for the base DN then its a matter of playing with the other values to match want you want

I'm in the exact same situation. What settings did you find to work the best?

I found these to kindof work, but users get kicked from conferences sometimes and status' don't always update properly.

eBox includes ebox-jabber which cofigures Jabberd2 xmpp server and works out of the box. This jabber server should offer all the features most users need. Is there any reason to use OpenFire instead of ebox-jabber ? Do you miss anything ?

Biggest reason we use openfire is the group push and auto-join conference/bookmarks features. We started out using Jabberd2 (this is long before we started using ebox) but switched to openfire when a friend told me about it's features.

Group push auto pushes buddy lists to groups specified, which is a really nice feature for teams since when a new member is added to a team everyone automatically has them added to their buddy list.

Auto-join conferences is essential for us since conference chat is our primary method of comunication/organizing projects. It makes people join premade conference rooms specified and limits the amount of 1 on 1 chat. It also populates the chat client's (we use Spark, made by the same guys who make openfire) bookmarks with ones we specify so people have the same lists of web bookmarks and get updated auto when we need to change them.

Other features that are really usefully (not sure if they're available/will work in Jabberd2) are:
IM gateway/protocol translation, so people can register their MSN, Yahoo, Gtalk, irc, etc accounts and use them all in the same place.
SparkWeb which is a web based client people can log into and use from anywhere if they're away from their workstation.
Whiteboarding and code collaborating via plugins for the Spark client
Fast Path which allows for "tech-support" style queing for clients via a web interface
Asterisk and SIP phone integration
