Environment
Novell Vibe 4.0 HP2
Novell Vibe 4.0 HP3
Novell Vibe 4.0 HP3
Situation
On a site where the default keystore password has been modified, the installer fails to use the new password value when run in Install, Update or Re-Configure mode. This prevents Vibe from initialization during startup and/or the Inbound SMTP remains disabled.
Resolution
A fix for this issue is available in the Vibe 4.0 Hot Patch 4, available via the Novell Patch Finder.
Cause
The installer was ignoring the new keystore password value specified in the installer.xml file thereby writing the original default keystore password ("changeit") to the ssf-ext.properties to be used for the Inbound SMTP server.
Note: Support for changing the keystore password may be removed in future versions of Vibe. It is recommended that the default keystore password should not be changed.

Additional Information
Note: When the default keystore password value ("changeit") is changed, the
administrator has to update the password manually in the
/opt/novell/teaming/apache-tomcat/conf/server.xml file. The
installer.xml file should also be manually updated with the new keystore password
value so that the installer can use the updated password value for the
Inbound SMTP Server and update the ssf-ext.properties file.
