[JDEV] Q: Non-anonymous conferencing?

[Keith Minkler]

Using the groupchat protocol defined in http://docs.jabber.org/draft-proto/conference.html,
you will see the user's real jid as the jid="" attribute of the jabber:iq:browse iq push..
for example...

after you send presence, and the iq:set (jabber:iq:conference) indicating that you are joining
the room, you will receive a list of users in an iq push:

<iq type="set" from="group at conference_server.com">
    <query xmlns="jabber:iq:browse">
        <user jid="real_jid at server.com" name="Nick_Name" gid="12dsa..."/>
        ...
    </query>
</iq>

this jid will be hidden if the user has specified the <privacy/> flag in his iq:set (jabber:iq:conference).

NOTE that private rooms and private users are two different things.. a private room is not returned
when browsing the conference server, and does not affect (to my knowledge) the ability for a user to
use the <privacy/> flag to hid thier jid.  

To answer you question, I'm not sure if the server can block users from specifying <privacy/>,
but you may use the jid attribute to view the user's real JID.
