Openfire Contact Sharing

Question

I installed openfire on CentOs and uses an external database for authentication and user list.

I managed the groups based on the user table and friends list, so each user is also a group that is an administrator and is populated by users who are (friends).

External users and authentication work fine.

The problem is that the contact list is populated only when the checkbox "enable group access of the contact group" is checked in the administration group.

I want this option to always be turned on so that the user can see each other in his friends list.

this is an existing problem openfire problem

Are there any possible solutions or alternatives.

Edit:

In other words, I want to avoid adding the following three rows to the GroupProp table:

name sharedRoster.displayName groupname name sharedRoster.groupList name sharedRoster.showInRoster onlyGroup
