Why each option
UDS does not serve binary photo attributes, so Jabber must use the photo URI method pointing to images hosted on an external web server.
When UDS is the configured directory source, Jabber retrieves contact photos using a configurable photo URI template that substitutes user-specific attributes (such as username) into a URL pointing to images hosted on a web server. This is the only photo retrieval method UDS supports, because UDS exposes no binary LDAP attributes.
Binary object retrieval of the jpegPhoto attribute is an LDAP-specific method that requires a direct LDAP connection and is not available when UDS is the directory source.
Contact photos are supported with UDS but only through the photo URI method - stating no support is incorrect.
Binary object retrieval of thumbnailPhoto is also an LDAP attribute-based method and cannot be used with UDS, which does not expose binary photo attributes.
