Share users from ldap groups in IM client automatically

Hi there,

first of all I am new in this forum but let me mention I searched the web for this issue and only found the solution via shared roster and "Enable contact list group sharing".

Here the issue:

I connected Openfire 4.0.2 with ldap to include the users.

approx: 550 users

approx: 100 groups

The users and groups show up perfectly fine in the admin console but don't appear in the IM client.

To be honest I think it's not the most convenient way to set up group sharing for 100 groups manually in the admin console to let all users see each other.

Is there any way to do that automatically?

I dont't consider "Registration plugin" as an option for this case as it doesn't seem to fit.

Help would be highly appreciated.
