Since company has upgrade the IM tools from office communicator into Lync, thus I have to upgrade the pidgin’s plugins for using lynx. Folloing is the tips:
Upgrade SIPE
Sipe is installed via yaourt:
# yaourt -S pidgin-sipe
Configure Pidgin
Edit the existing account via: Edit->Preference->Advanced.
The connection type is auto, the authentication scheme is TLS-DSK.
In the “User Agent”, insert following:
UCCAPI/15.0.4481.1000 OC/15.0.4481.1000
The detailed “User Agent” descriptions could be refered to following links:
