Is there a jabber client for windows users that's working?

hello all,
i've just deployed os x server 10.5 (standard configuration, upgraded to 10.5.3) and i have some users that are using ms windows. i can't seem to get google talk or any other windows jabber clients to successfully connect to the ichat server. i've tried to use the same server settings that i'm using when i create a new jabber account in ichat with google talk and a few others with no success. am i missing something? does anyone know of a windows jabber client that is currently working? if so, can you also share with me your findings (the settings or best practices for setting up this windows jabber client). the os x server ichat docs state several times that google talk should work. but after some research here, it looks as if it doesn't current work. any insight would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
tsul

I think Pidgin is the solution for you. It's quite easy to configure and seems quite reliable! It works well for me. I have use a portable version of it to connect from Windows XP/2000 to a 10.5.3 Server.

  • Directory Caching issue with Cisco Jabber client for Windows

    Hi ,
    I am facing cache issue with Cisco Jabber client for Windows. If I do any change related to modification or deletion of contacts in Active Directory/ Callmanager, it does not reflect in the Jabber. Because jabber takes the contacts from the locally stored cache file in the Windows system.
    Every time I have to remove the cache file to overcome this issue, practically it's not possible to do the same with all the Widows users. As, if any employee leaves the company and still I can see his contact appears in the "Cisco Jabber client". I have not seen this issue with Android/Apple iOS.
    Is there any automated way to remove the cache file? 
    Here is the detail of CUCM,Presence and Jabber.
    CUCM version: 9.1.x
    Presence          : 9.1.X
    Jabber              : 10.5 and 10.6

    Hello
    On our environment we had to install a dedicated Microsoft Certificate Authority "just for Cisco Jabber usage" to house the
    Network Device Enrollment Service.
    Our certificate for the CUPS were generated on this Certification Authority too.
    I discussed this certificate matter with my colleagues this afternoon and nobody seems to remember how these certificates were deployed into the
    Enterprise Trust store for the users.
    But I think they asked all 400 users to accept the 3 certificates by answering "yes" to the popup instead of using a script deployed by GPO...
    I wish you success with that deployment and really hope you have a technical partner that *Knows* this subject.
    Our partner left us alone with that unfortunately.
    Florent
    EDIT: If the "Certutil script method" works, please let me know. This could be useful in our own deployment.

  • Cisco Jabber Client for Windows 9.7 Can't Connect to Other IPSec VPN Clients Over Clustered ASAs

    Environment:
    2 x ASA 5540s (at two different data centers) configured as a VPN Load Balancing Cluster
    Both ASAs are at version 8.4(5)6
    IPSec VPN Client version: 5.0.07.440 (64-bit)
    Jabber for Windows v9.7.0 build 18474
    Issue:
      If I am an IPSec VPN user…
       I can use Jabber to another IPSec VPN user that is connected to the same ASA appliance.
       I can’t use Jabber to another IPSec VPN user that is connected to the different ASA appliance that I am connected to.
    In the hub-and-spoke design, where the VPN ASA is a hub, and the VPN client is a spoke; if you have two hubs clustered together, how does one spoke communicate with another spoke on the other hub in the cluster? (How to allow hairpinning to the other ASA)

    Portu,
    Thanks for your quick reply.
    Unfortunately, I do not have access to the ASA logs nor would I be permitted to turn on the debug settings asked for above.  I might be able to get the logs but it will take awhile and I suspect they wouldn't be helpful as this ASA supports thousands of clients, therefore, separating out my connection attempts from other clients would be difficult.
    I can, though, do whatever you want on the Linux router.  Looking over the firewall logs at the time of this problem, I don't see anything that looks suspicious such as dropped packets destined for the Windows client.
    As I said in my original post, I'm not a networking expert - by any means - but I am willing to try anything to resolve this.  (But I might need a bit of handholding if I need to set up a  wireshark andor tcpdump.)
    Thanks again.

  • Jabber client for windows mobile.

    Hi ,
    One of my customer want to install jabber in windows mobile. I informed him there is no client released for windows mobile yet. 
    But he wants any document from cisco site that there is no release available for win mobile. I tried searching same but could not get any.
    Can someone pls provide me some cisco doc on this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Siddu..

    There is no doc that will you tell what platforms we do not support, we tell you which platform we DO support.
    If he insists on a doc, he cannot ask for what does not exist.

  • Is there a jabber client for iPad that will connect to Apple's iChat/jabber server?

    I've just purchased a third gen iPad and I'd like to be able to use the VPN connection in conjunction with an iChat client to communicate with my office's internal iChat/jabber server. However, none of the apps I've tried are able to successfully connect? I've tried Monal, IM+, IMO, munduIM OSE and Talkonaut. No joy.
    I use Messages (beta) on the desktop, but there's no way to setup anything other than an Apple ID in Messages on the iPad. I'd love to keep it unified.
    Any thoughts or suggestions? I've heard that Beejive is the way to go, but (call me a cheapskate) I don't want to pay for another app just to find out it won't do what I want!

    You almost certainly have a misconfigured router/firewall for jabber. I can confirm that OS X Lion Server works with the iPad and iPhone IM apps imo and BeeJiveIM.
    To track down your problem, which almost certainly is simply a port getting blocked or not forwarded at some point between your router and server, I'd suggest getting an nmap executable (e.g., get Xcode via app store, then macports, then sudo port install nmap) and download the old feature-rich Airport Utility 5.6 from Apple. First try this:
    $ nmap -p 5222 localhost
    $ nmap -p 5222 server_ip_on_LAN
    $ nmap -p 5222 server_ip_on_INTERNET
    This port should be open for each probe. When I first set up my server, Messages beta added a port forwarding entry on my Airport router, but this had a duplicate entry with another port forward, so I had to use Airport Utility 5.6 to track down and delete the superfluous port forward entry. I also had to use Server Admin to open all the iChat ports.
    One thing I was hoping for is an iOS app that supports video/voice over jabber, but all the apps I see are strictly IM. Can anyone recommend an app for this?

  • Jabber Client for Windows video not working with ManyCam

    Hi everyone.  We've been kicking around the Cisco Jabber client and I've noticed a small issue when it comes to video.  I use a software package called ManyCam (http://www.manycam.com/) which creates a web cam that allows me to put effects on my actual web cam's video feeds.  Primarily I use it when I'm in a remote office and have a video stream back to the main office I can put effects on the screen like "On a conference call" and such so people won't get upset when they approach me and I fail to respond to them.  I use it with other applications just fine but with Cisco Jabber (v9.2.0 Build 496) when I attempt to set it the ManyCam camera as the video source in the video configuration of Cisco Jabber the preview doesn't appear.  As well when I connect to another Cisco Jabber user they do not see my video stream.
    Anyone else notice this?  Or does anyone else have a link to some similar software that will give me equivalent functionality to ManyCam that works with Cisco Jabber?
    Thanks!

    Only if they are on a Mac using iChat(gmail account).

  • Jabber Client for Windows. Desk phone control trouble.

    Good day!
    I have CUCM - version 9.1.1.20000-5, JFW version 9.2.3 build 4417 and Microsoft AD server.
    I have configured:
    1. LDAP directory in CUCM using SSL connection
    2. LDAP authentication in CUCM using SSL connection (port 636) too.
    All other configurations, needed for allowing CTI control from JFW to desk phone, are made.
    So, the problem is: CTI control in JFW is not available in this case. But, if I change in CUCM LDAP authentication from SSL to non-SSL - all work fine. JFW establishs CTI connection and successfully controls my desk phone, when LDAP authentication does is non-SSL.
    Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

    Hello, usually this is fixed by changing to global catalog for authentication (3269) since I would suppose that the issue you're experiencing is an LDAP timeout.

  • Cisco Jabber for Windows User Photos

    CUPS 8.6.3
    Jabber Client for Windows Version 9.0.1 Build 8802
    I noticed that the Cisco Jabber for Windows Client does not automatically update with the photos that updated in Active Directory.
    I had updated a user's photo in AD and noticed that it would not change. I browsed to "C:\Users\<user name>\App Data\Local\Cisco\Unified Communications\Jabber\CSF\Photos" and had to manually delete the user photos in this folder. I exited out of the Jabber Client and restarted the program. When I did this, the Jabber Client crashed, I saved the crash report, and re-opend the Jabber client. This time the client opened properly, and the updated photos were now appearing!
    Seems like Cisco would not have set the photos to Cache to the local computer....
    Any thoughts?

  • Jabber Client for CME license

    i have CME 2921 ISR router and i need to implement cisco jabber client for 50 user
    is this needs a license or not
    if yes, please provide me how to orser it and what is its part number
    thank you very much

    If you are going to use Jabber, that counts like a regular SIP Phone, just like 7945, or 99XX phones, you don't need an additional  license:

  • Cisco Jabber Client for Linux

    Are there any plans to have a Cisco Jabber client on linux?

    Mike,
    The larger body of use case and development for Jabber has centered on Windows and mobile iOS and Android devices. That's not to say that there isn't a contingency of customers that want a Linux client but, as of today, there is no "Jabber" client for that platform. However, I've heard this question asked in a few different forums and the answer thus far has typically been one or both of the following:
    1) There is a Jabber SDK, which could potentially be used to custom develop an application.
    2) Use 3rd-party XMPP client (e.g. Pidgin)
    As for an official answer on "will there be in the future" with a yes/no/maybe and/or a possible timeframe, you would need to reach out to Cisco or your trusted partner as roadmap items cannot be discussed without having a non-disclosure agreement in place. That's what Jamie is getting at in his response.

  • Group policy template for Novell Client for Windows 7

    Does anyone know if there is a group policy template for the Novell Client for Windows 7? I find it really hard to believe that Novell has not yet released one, but I cannot find one anywhere. We use ZCM 11.2, and I really need to be able to send out settings for the client via a group policy.
    By the way, I am also posting this on the Novell Client forum, but since this is also a ZCM thing, I am hoping I might get some feedback here.

  • How to create a VPN client for Windows Phone 8.1?

    We have our own VPN client for Windows and Android. I would like to create a VPN client  for Windows phone 8.1. After referring these site I found that there are some third
    party VPN plugins available for WP 8.1.
    I checked OpenVPN but it is also not available for WP 8.1.
    Is there any APIs available for creating a VPN client in WP 8.1 similar to
    VpnService provided by Android SDK ?

    The VPN APIs for WP8.1 are not open at this time.
