Protecting the communication between the BlackBerry Enterprise Server
and the Novell GroupWise POAs
To encrypt communication between the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server and the Novell® GroupWise® POAs, you can
configure the Novell GroupWise POAs to use SSL.
If the Novell GroupWise POAs are configured to use self-signed certificates, you must install the certification
authority's self-signed certificate on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. This will permit the BlackBerry Enterprise
Server to connect to the Novell GroupWise POAs without generating errors that are caused because the certificate
is issued by an unknown or invalid certification authority.
If the Novell GroupWise POAs are using a certificate that the Organizational CA found in the Novell eDirectory signed,
you can copy the Organizational CA’s self-signed certificate from the Novell eDirectory to the computer that hosts
the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. For more information, visit:
