Try Zulip, actually. We use it and it does that exact thing very well.

Any ldap or ad integration?

Yep, see http://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/prod-authentication-me...

It would be quite amusing if it couldn't work with AD, considering Zulip is based on Zephyr which is a very old chat protocol/application heavily dependent on Kerberos.

Just FYI, Zulip uses a similar UI model to Zephyr, but doesn't use the Zephyr protocol internally. (For example, Zephyr doesn't really work when one user is behind a NAT)
