In the deployment scenario where there are multiple IM and Presence Service clusters in the local domain,
the local user's actual JID may be sent to the federated user. The only impact to the chat room is that the
name that displays to the federated user is the user id of the local user, instead of the email address of the
local user; all other chat room functionality operates as normal. This only occurs in temporary or persistent
chat rooms with federated users.

A prerequisite for this feature is that the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Mail ID for each user
must match the full email address for the user. If the Mail ID field for the user is empty or does not contain
a full email address, IM and Presence Service defaults to using IM and Presence Service JID of the user
for federation.
