Environment
Novell GroupWise 2012
Novell GroupWise 8
Novell Vibe OnPrem 3Situation
You have configured a Vibe integration within your GroupWise system and assigned it to user via Client Options. Users upon login to their mailboxes get Vibe folder displayed. After authenticating to their Vibe accounts, a Vibe folder structure is populated but if they click on any personal folder, there is the error 404 displayed instead of expected Vibe folder content.
Resolution
There is a part of the security configuration setting missed in the Administration documentation, a chapter:
37.3.4 Defaulting to Secure HTTP URLs in Vibe Links
since version 3.2. In the version 3.1 it is still there present. Due to missing configuration in the Vibe site, all Vibe folders that were populated into a GroupWise mailbox have HTTP URL link which then fails to retrieve data from the Vibe account due to a security restriction. You could see incorrect HTTP link when viewing properties of any of such failing Vibe folders.
Steps for a resolution:
- Locate ssf.properties file (on Linux /opt/novell/teaming/apache-tomcat/webapps/ssf/WEB-INF/classes/config directory.
- Open the file by any editor and locate following lines:
adapter.web.protocol=context-http
servlet.web.protocol=context-http
rss.web.protocol=context-http
ical.web.protocol=context-http
ssfs.web.protocol=context-http
simpleurl.web.protocol=context-http
-
Copy them and paste into ssf-ext.properties file at the bottom. Change all "http" -> "https":
adapter.web.protocol=context-https
servlet.web.protocol=context-https
rss.web.protocol=context-https
ical.web.protocol=context-https
ssfs.web.protocol=context-https
simpleurl.web.protocol=context-httpsThen save the file and restart the Vibe services.
Cause
The Vibe is configured with the forced SSL settings.
