Here are a couple links that have helped me:
-
LDAP setup/how to - http:/
/ community.spiceworks.com/ how_to/ show/ 29992-setting-up-open-fire-for-ldap -
Web Chat Overview - http:/
/ www.igniterealtime.org/ projects/ openfire/ plugins/ webchat/ readme.html
I had a lot of trouble with my LDAP settings at first. Was finally able to test it with good results using Spark and Pidgin. As far as using the web chat I've not deployed any tests yet but the link above is quite promising.
