Office Communicator?

I have it installed, but it does not appear to like the details I use to login the desktop client. Click on login and the button goes grey and then comes back to highlighted again.

On the Windows Mobile client I have to put :443 on the end of the url (with no https) and set the authentication method to TLS. That then works fine. On the Android one I assume it is just https:// and then the url?

Hi 400ixl, if your company's wca requires a client-cert, that doesn't work right now. I have to read up on how to set that up and enable it (if I have to do that specifically) in the app.

:443 is automatic but you should use https://ocs|im|webim.domain.com (or something like that).

Please use the Menu|Feedback function to send me a log of what's going on in the background.

Just tried it, but unable to logon using our OCS address.

Tried all lower case.

Understand that there is an update to post shortly, so we shall see.

If I can get this to work it will be a Godsend seeing I'm a field engineer for a large IT service company which uses OCS often.

However, now I'm on a Droid phone, it's impossible... hopefully until now..

Hi Deanski,

Our latest update should have fixed all reported bugs. So it should work now :)
 
I tried your software and I get

Error:java.net.ConnectException:xx.xxx.com/yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:443 connection refused


x = my office communicator "external" server address
y = ip address of the external server address

I noticed that my regular communicator uses "TLS" how is that feature enabled on your app? Also, what features do I need enabled, i.e. unsecured ssl,
Authentication is it: Forms or Integrated?

This app so far doesn't work for me.
 
I just sent an email about this, but I think it'd be great to have the option to show whether i am mobile or not. I use my IM with my clients for my job, and when they see me on their contacts list it shows my status as "Available - Mobile." Is there a way to remove that??

Thanks!

Hi

not sure which communicator client this was regarding to - Clicking on Menu|Feedback would help analyze what's going on .

Office Talk - the first communicator client in public beta - got a fresh release today as well

market://search?q=pname:ocs.android

Cheers

Recently I found the trial version of amoc which is released in android market. Just type the keyword "amoc" to search for the software. I feel pretty good after using it. I can't wait for the full version.
 
I tried Office Talk and AndrOCS yesterday, here are my thoughts :P

They both seem to work pretty well but have different looks.

AndrOCS has a nice UI, with separate tabs for Contact List and open IM's, which is nice, but as far as I can tell it doesn't pull your contact groups in, just gives you one big list, which isn’t great if you have a lot of contacts.

Office Talk isn't as pretty, but it seems to work fine, and lets you select your groups to filter your contacts list down to a manageable size. Also, when you sign out, this one runs as a Service and not just an app, so when you sign out it still lives in the Notification Bar (it just changes to Offline), which I don't really like.

Didn't try aMOC, the screenshots are pretty but I'm not sure if I can trust that they aren't going to send my company login credentials to someplace in china. :P

aMOC is developed by telecommunication Laboratories Chunghwa Telecom (CHT) , Taiwan.
We don't gather any user credentials. Make yourself easy
 
I've run into an odd error... Even though my login information is correct, it keeps telling me to check my login and password and won't let me log in... We are using OC R2 at work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Do u use the aMOC client? or not?
 
Office Talk = Incompatible Server (I think this may have something to do with TLS vs TCP)

ANDRocs = Downloaded the app, however launching it only brings up the settings menu. Where is the actual app UI??

You need to fill the cwa server and account/password first to connect to your ocs environment.

As mentioned in the app description - if there's a prob then do a login attempt and then use Menu|Feedback to send feedback. It's probably the wrong server you're trying to talk to (with https:// btw you're using TLS). Very few corps actually require a client certificate (which is also supported though if provided).

My server requires for authentication:
  1. enter your Sign-In address (which is your email address: firstname.lastname@email.com)
  2. Enter your User Name which is your domain\username (ex: local\xxxxxxx for local users)
  3. then click the Sign In button
    1. enter your Sign-In address (which is your email address: firstname.lastname@email.com)
    2. Enter your User Name which is your domain\username (ex: local\xxxxxx for local users)
    3. then click the Sign In button
