I installed openfire on CentOs and it uses external database for authentification and user list.
I managed groups based on a user table and a friend listing so that each user is also a group that is is an administrator and populated with users that are (friends).
External users and authentication works fine.
The issue is that the buddy list is only populated when is check "enable contact list group sharing openfire" on group administration.
I want to make this option always enabled so that user can see each other in their buddy list.
this is an existing issue openfire issue
Are there any possible solutions or alternatives.
Edit:
In other words, I want to avoid adding the following three lines to the ofGroupProp table:
name sharedRoster.displayName groupname
name sharedRoster.groupList
name sharedRoster.showInRoster onlyGroup
