Environment

Novell GroupWise 2014
Novell GroupWise 2012
Novell Vibe 3.x
Novell Vibe 4.x

Situation

In GroupWise system you have enabled Vibe integration at a domain, a PO or a user level via Client Options.
You have specified URL with HTTPS protocol like:
 
 
When you login into a mailbox with enabled integration, the system Vibe folder (a globe icon) do follow HTTPS connection, however, any user folders synced into a mailbox do show HTTP only.
If you block HTTP protocol on a firewall, then those personal folders would not be allowed / displayed in your mailbox.

Resolution

You will need to change a Vibe configuration to instruct Vibe using HTTPS links. The default settings is HTTP.
Locate ssf-ext.properties file on your Vibe server and open it with a text editor.
Add following statements at the end of the file:
 
adapter.web.protocol=context-https
servlet.web.protocol=context-https
rss.web.protocol=context-https
atom.web.protocol=context-https
ical.web.protocol=context-https
ssfs.web.protocol=context-https
simpleurl.web.protocol=context-https
 
Save the file changes and restart teaming services.
