Thank you for the reply.
I was able to get the contacts to show up correctly, thank you.
I guess my primary concern now is not being able to lock down the client. I've looked for several other clients that would disable connections outside of our intranet, but like you said, jabber clients are designed to be open.
Still, it makes me think that someone must have gotten over this problem before. We don't want to use Spark because we have some computers that have very low available resources. We need a very simple lightweight client.
I can't seem to find any other discussions about XMPP/Jabber clients on a secure intranet. Are people just blocking things in the firewall? How would I go about doing this?
