Hi Aaron,

The auto-discovery feature in the Jabber client that you are speaking of uses 
DNS service discovery records (SRV). For the Jabber client, internally, it is 
looking for _cisco-uds._tcp.domain.tld (externally it would be looking for 
_collab-edge._tls.domain.tld). You can research the topic more at:


http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/jabber/Windows/9_7/CJAB_BK_C606D8A9_00_cisco-jabber-dns-configuration-guide/CJAB_BK_C606D8A9_00_cisco-jabber-dns-configuration-guide_chapter_010.html


If you already have the internal SRV record created per Cisco's Documentation, 
and it still isn't working correctly, the user's login suffix (@domain.tld) 
could potentially be provisioned by Cisco's cloud-based WebEx Meeting service, 
in which case the Jabber client will always prefer that as an authentication 
mechanism (unless you exclude the method in the jabber-config.xml file). The 
Jabber mobile clients work a little differently when it comes to preventing 
them to authenticate with Cisco's cloud-based WebEx Meeting service. My guess 
is though, if the domain were provisioned for the service, you would likely 
already know about it.


Beyond that, and assuming the SRV record is created correctly, the client 
itself may have other issues related to DNS lookups. You may try a simple 
client reset / clear the cache files, if you have not already. If you would 
like to collect the PRT logs and send them to this list I'm sure someone can 
look through them for you.


Hope this helps,


Ryan

Subject: [cisco-voip] Jabber - auto detect server

I've had some trouble getting jabber to auto detect the IM&P server.  Every 
time a new user signs in, they have to put in the IP of the server.  Anyone 
have tricks to offer to avoid using the IP or FQDN?
