I am trying to achieve is to have an Enterprise Single Sign On where we have samba, zimbra (GroupWare), asterisk, Typo3-CMS and ejabberd Server talking to an OpenLDAP server where all the
authorization and authentifications are stored.
Now we have samba and zimbra talking to the samba enabled LDAP directory.
We would like configure ejabberd in such way that it gets the user authetification from the same samba enabled LDAP directory and also to talk to zimbra. This set-up would act as (ejabberd for testing) as our Corporate IM Server and also provide gateway / transports to other IM networks like MSN, yahoo and more importantly skype (we have many users who are using skype for VOIP) so that our staff use spark IM (any other jabber client like Coccinella / tkabber) as their one stop IM client for all the IM networks.
The audio / video chat & conferencing facility built inside the ejabberd Server / Client would be a great feature. My Questions with respect to these / additional functionalities are :
1. What do I have to do with the ejabberd server to have the audio / video chat & conferencing facility?
2. jabber transports for other IM providers / protocols like yahoo, google-talk, msn, and more importantly skype IM.
3. plugin in asterisk (Trixbox) / sipfoundry / freepbx pbx and VOIP servers
Thanks and regards

1. What do I have to do with the ejabberd server to have the audio / video chat & conferencing facility?
Nothing, that's a feature to implement on the Jabber client.
2. jabber transports for other IM providers / protocols like yahoo, google-talk, msn, and more importantly skype IM.
Google Talk does not require transport. Transports are independent programs that connect to the Jabber server. Check PyMSNt... I'm not aware of any transport to Skype.
3. plugin in asterisk (Trixbox) / sipfoundry / freepbx pbx and VOIP servers
None that I know.
prefered ejabberd clients & other features
hi,
What are the preferred clients for audio / video chat & conferencing facility on a ejabberd server? Is this feature dependant on clients and not on ejabberd server ?
Please guide me regarding howto configure the transports for Yahoo, MSN and ICQ along with Google Talk via S2S.
Regarding the Asterisk plugin: Can Spark IM's open source asterisk plugin from Jive Software can be used for ejabberd?
Thanks & Regards
Prashant
Re: audio / video conferecning & chat facility

Audio/Video is completely dependent on clients.
Please guide me regarding howto configure the transports for Yahoo, MSN and ICQ along with Google Talk via S2S.
Google Talk is just an XMPP server with s2s support. There is nothing to do in ejabberd to make it interoperable with Google servers.
As for other proprietary IM networks, you have to install respective transports and refer to their documentation.
Regarding the Asterisk plugin: Can Spark IM's open source asterisk plugin from Jive Software can be used for ejabberd?
I have no idea.
