Update was smooth. Security will be happy to see the "Device Security Policy" option.

Thanks,

Is there any problem going directly from Build 115 to this version ? I had not applied the second update, do I need to do that before applying update 3 ?

Get up and running with Novell Mobility!
http://www.caledonia.net/gw-mobility.html

Update went ok, restarted all the services, sync works, but I can't get into the webadmin anymore. It's stuck on logging in... anyone seeing anything similair?

Search the KB, I know there was something with an previous version. With this behavior. (can't logon to webadmin )

My update didn't go so well... I ran the update.sh and it installed fine, restarted the services and users could not connect. Tried restarting server a couple times too.
Everything looks good that I can see, LDAP auth works on the webpage login, but the sync fails on the device, like it can't connect to the server anymore...
Any ideas on what I can try next? Thank you.

All services look like they are running, postgresql is running, I can login to the datasync website and it shows groupwise and mobility are running... But devices can't connect ?

Any errors in the Mobility connector log?

What do your logs show, and check your firewall config on your server too. I have my firewall off on my server as it's behind our Cisco ASA. So check to make sure maybe your firewall is off (maybe it is set to start on boot)???

You may also want to check/change the ssl settings before it would allow sslv2 but sense the update it will only accept sslv3. I have seen a few phones that did not like this. You can re-enable sslv2 and see if that helps.

I've run into the same issue (thread here: http://forums.novell.com/novell-product-support-forums/data-synchronizer/ds-mobility-pack/431888-290-update-ssl2-any-way-disable-new-feature.html ) - we still haven't found a resolution for the problem, which seems to be affecting original Droids and some iPhones.

If it helps any, I'll post my Mobility XML content here; the server itself has been restarted but that didn't help either:

Hi dKnudson

The solution is following:
I used sslMethod 3 for my environment..

regards
Ramon

Selecting a Specific Version of SSL
By default, the Mobility Connector accepts connections from mobile devices
that use SSLv3 and TLSv1, but rejects connections from mobile devices that
use SSLv2. If a userâ€s mobile device tries to connect using SSLv2, the user
receives an error and cannot connect. You can enable and disable different
versions of SSL protocols and also specify the cipher to use with the
desired protocol.

1.In Synchronizer Web Admin, click the Mobility Connector to display the
Mobility Connector Configuration page, then click Edit XML Source to display
the Connector XML Source window.

2.Add the following tags between the <custom> and </custom> tags:

<sslMethod>value</sslMethod>
<sslCiphers>list</sslCiphers>
3.In the <sslMethod> tag, replace value with any of the following values:

SSL Version
Value

SSLv2
1 (not recommended)

SSLv3
2

TLSv1
4

All of the above
3 (not recommended)

SSLv3 and TLSv1
5 (default)


4.In a terminal window, use the following command to determine the ciphers
that are available on your system:

openssl ciphers -ssl3
5.In the <sslCiphers> tag in the Connector XML Source window, replace list
with the desired values as provided by the openssl command.

6.Click Save XML to save your changes, then click Home to return to the main
Synchronizer Web Admin page.

7.Restart the Mobility Connector to put the desired SSL protocol and ciphers
into effect.

Everything looks good that I can see, LDAP auth works on the webpage
login, but the sync fails on the device, like it can't connect to the
server anymore...
Any ideas on what I can try next? Thank you.
