I am in the process of setting up mod_shared_roster_ldap with Active Directory. Currently, I am not positive if my configuration is working properly, but I also do not know what to look for when it is working properly.
Lets say my configuration is working properly, what should I see? Will I see the queried groups in the Shared Roster Group section of the web admin page for that Virtual Host? I am assuming this will be the case, and at that point I can go through each group and specify what other groups that group should see.
Or am I misunderstanding all of this completely? Currently, I have OpenFire implemented, so my understanding of the shared rosters stems from that.
Thank you for your help.

As you can read in few last post here, that mod_shared_roster_ldap is very problematic and unfortunately, not many people have luck with this mod + AD.. include me.

In fact autor of this mod said that he hasnt access to AD instalation for testing this scenario...

I was hoping to get lucky and have it working, at which point I would have done an extensive write-up, but I have had no luck.
I feel like I am close, but after spending an entire day working with it, my desire to continue is waning.
This seems like a very sought after feature, it is unfortunate that more Jabber server software does not incorporate it. All I know of is ejabberd and OpenFire (who's quality has been falling after changing from WildFire to OpenFire).
Well I was finally able to
Well I was finally able to populate groups using mod_shared_roster_ldap. However, presence appeared to be partially broken, authorizations were not being sent out. Another downside was that all the groups would show, regardless if the user was a part of any groups. There is probably a way to fix that, but I did not feel like figuring it out.
Anyways, I will be doing a write up on everything I did to get it working and will post it soon.
