No Teaming folders synchronized in GroupWise client.

This document (7002238) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.

Environment

Novell Teaming 2

Novell Vibe OnPrem 3
Novell GroupWise 8

Situation

Although all seems to be configured correctly on the Teaming and GroupWise site, in GroupWise client there are no teaming sub-folders displayed.

User can login in his Teaming account via web browser without problems.

Resolution

To change the timeout value for web services authenticated through WS-Security, edit <tomcat>/webapps/ssf/WEB-INF/server-config.wsdd file in a text editor and make the following changes:

Locate the the following sections (there are two occurrences).

<handler type="java:org.apache.ws.axis.security.WSDoAllReceiver">
<parameter name="passwordCallbackClass"
value="org.kablink.teaming.remoting.ws.security.PWCallback"/>
<parameter name="action" value="UsernameToken Timestamp"/>
</handler>

Insert a "timeToLive" parameter with large timeout value (for example, 86400 for 24 hours). The resulting sections should look like the following.

<handler type="java:org.apache.ws.axis.security.WSDoAllReceiver">
<parameter name="passwordCallbackClass"
value="org.kablink.teaming.remoting.ws.security.PWCallback"/>
<parameter name="action" value="UsernameToken Timestamp"/>
<parameter name="timeToLive" value="86400"/>
</handler>

Save the file and restart the server.

Additional Information

Once you define client options using ConsoleOne, in the Teaming tab an URL link:

http://<teaming_server>:<port_number>/ssf/ws/Facade?wsdl

this one will be used saved in a GroupWise user database and will be used to access a Teaming server. GroupWise client does not have its own "Teaming functionality" but via specified URL makes a kind of SOAP / XML request to the Teaming server. When a user authenticates within a Teaming pop-up window, GroupWise client sends his credentials to a Teaming server. However, this SOAP request has also a time stamp information included with a time expiration / validity of 5 minutes. This can be seen from a trace taken between a client workstation and a Teaming server.

Thus when a teaming server has incorrect time or in general if there is more than 5 minutes time difference between a time that has a workstation where you run GroupWise client from and what is on the Teaming server, this login / sync request is ignored. Therefore if you see similar problems like that, make sure that a correct time is set on both, mainly on a Teaming server and also a client workstation running GroupWise client with a Teaming integration. Usually a problem with a time drifted is seen on a Teaming server.

When user access` his Teaming account via web browser, it is HTML protocol based request that does not have any time stamp information included in a request. That is why a web access usually works fine.
