Programming Jabber

Server vCard

Every user, indeed every entity, can maintain a virtual “business card”—a vCard—which is stored server-side. vCards can be retrieved at any time by any user. The <vCard/> tag here in the JSM configuration gives the Jabber server an identity—its vCard can be retrieved also.

You can maintain the server’s vCard data in this part of the JSM configuration:

<vCard>
  <FN>Jabber Server on yak</FN>
  <DESC>A Jabber Server!</DESC>
  <URL>http://yak/</URL>
</vCard>

All the vCard elements can be used for this vCard configuration, not just the ones shown here. More information on vCards can be found in Section 6.5.1.
