The user data consists of jid (aka "username"), name, email address, password and roster list (aka "buddy list"). This plugin also can aid in the migration of users from other Jabber/XMPP based systems to Jive Messenger.</p> <h2>Installation</h2> <p>Copy the userImportExport.jar into the plugins directory of your Jive Messenger installation. The plugin will then be automatically deployed. To upgrade to a new version, copy the new userImportExport.jar file over the existing file.</p> <h2>Configuration</h2> <p>Presently, there is nothing that can be configured for the user import/export plugin.</p> <h2>Using the Plugin</h2> <p> The plugin is accessed via the "User Import & Export" sidebar item located under the "Users/Groups" tab in the Admin Console. Note: if you are using LDAP as your user data source the following message will appear: "Sorry, because you are using LDAP as your user store this plugin will not work with your Messenger installation." <li>Importing - Select the "Import User Data" option from the user import/export selection page. On the import page, notice that the plugin will look for user data import files in the MESSENGER_HOME/export directory. In the "Import File Name" field, enter the name of the file you want import from and then click on the "Import" button. If the plugin is successful in importing all user data, you will be presented with the message: "All users added successfully" If the plugin was not successful in importing all user data you, will receive a message indicating what might have gone wrong. If during the import process, the plugin detects that you are trying to import a user that already exists in the system, it will not import that user or any roster information.</li> <li>Exporting - Select the "Export User Data" option from the user import/export selection page. On the export page, notice that the plugin will export user data to the MESSENGER_HOME/export directory. In the "Export File Name" field, enter the name of the file you want export to and then click on the "Export" button. Note: the plugin will automatically append an ".xml" extension to the file name if it is not already present.</li> <li>Migration - To import user data from another instant messenger system using the plugin, the import file must conform to the messenger-user-schema.xsd.xml schema file (located in the classes directory). When importing a user data file the plugin will first validate the file against the schema file." If the plugin cannot validate the import file the user data will not be imported.</li> </p> </body> </html>
