Implement a 3rd Party Certificate with Micro Focus Vibe

By Marvin Huffaker|2021-09-02T09:18:18-07:00February 3rd, 2012|Novell Vibe|

I originally published this article in 2012 for use with Vibe 3.x running on SLES 11. The general architecture of Vibe today is the same even through the current release, version 4.0.8 running on SLES 15 SP3. As such, this document should still be relevant. Path names and commands may be slightly different on Windows and/or other Linux versions, however the overall process should be the same.

GroupWise 2012 New Feature: Shared Folder Tree

By Marvin Huffaker|2016-12-22T14:36:30-07:00December 12th, 2011|GroupWise 2012|

Part of an ongoing series about GroupWise 2012. One of my favorite new features of GroupWise 2012 is the Shared Folder Tree.

This is a great improvement and will make sharing folders easier to manage and the overall process more efficient. In GroupWise 8 and previous versions, all folders had to be shared individually. You could certainly share a subfolder, but it was [...]

There have been a few news stories recently about a French IT company called Atos that has announced their intention to replace email with Social Networking and Instant Messaging over the next few years. The company has 74,000 users and claims that most of the current email is either worthless or it is spam. Whether the company pulls it off is yet to be seen, and some people may argue that it is simply a publicity stunt (I'm one of [...]

GroupWise, Relaying Email, and Preventing Open Spam Relays

By Marvin Huffaker|2016-12-22T14:36:31-07:00October 13th, 2011|GroupWise|

I get asked this question a lot: I need to be able to relay mail off of my GroupWise server to outside users or systems, but GroupWise won't let me (or won't let me without authentication). This prevents me from doing what I need, how do I get around this? Can it be done? In reality, this is very common. Many people need to relay mail from other internal, and sometimes even external systems. It might be a monitoring system, [...]
