As I promised, I bring to you how to connect a Linux Client to a O365 SfB Account.
The client name is Pidgin.
To install we need to open a shell and run the follow.
sudo apt-get install pidgin-sipe
Wait until installation finish.
Open Pidgin client, and click Add.
On Advanced Tab, add the information as follow.
NOTE: User Agent UCCAPI/15.0.4420.1017 OC/15.0.4420.1017
On Basic Tab, fill the fields with your account information and select Office Communicator as Protocol.
If you can’t login yet. Run the following commands
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install checkinstall
Restart Pidgin and you must login without any problem.
Unfortunately we just have IM with Pidgin client.
We have the basic Presence and IM features.
Change Presence states
Change Personal Message
IM Chat
See Contact List.
So, if you like or need to work with Linux OS and only need SfB to Chat, Pidgin could be a option. But if you need more features like Audio/Video o PSTN you must try with other client. Sky could be the best option, I will post about Sky later.
Hope this helps you.
