GroupWise Address Book User
The Mobility Connector needs to be able to access the Address Book associated with the application
with which it is synchronizing data. The Mobility Connector establishes this access through an
application connector. For example, if you are synchronizing data between GroupWise and mobile
devices, the Mobility Connector obtains user information from the GroupWise Address Book
through the GroupWise Connector.
The Mobility Connector needs Address Book access that is equivalent to a typical application user.
For example, a GroupWise administrator can control what users see in the GroupWise Address
Book by controlling object visibility. A GroupWise administrator who is setting up the Mobility
Connector to synchronize GroupWise data would want the Mobility Connector to access the
GroupWise Address Book with the same visibility as a typical GroupWise user would have when
viewing the GroupWise Address Book.
Therefore, you need to select a user whose view of the application Address Book matches what you
want the Mobility Connector to be able to access. You do not need to provide the password for the
GroupWise user because the Mobility Connector accesses the GroupWise Address Book through
the GroupWise Connector, which has trusted application status.
2.1.5 Gathering Mobile Device Information
The Mobility Connector needs certain configuration information about the mobile devices that it
synchronizes GroupWise data with.

Mobile Device Port
By default, the Mobility Connector uses all available IP addresses on the server where you install
the Mobility Pack. You can bind the Mobility Connector to a specific IP address after installation, as
described in “
Binding to a Specific IP Address ” in “ Mobility Connector Configuration ” in the
Mobility Connector Installation and Configuration Guide .
Typically, the Mobility Connector uses port 443 for secure SSL HTTP connections with mobile
devices and port 80 for non-secure HTTP connections. If mobile devices connect directly to the
Mobility Connector, a secure HTTP connection is strongly recommended. If mobile devices connect
to the Mobility Connector through a security application such as Novell Access Manager, the
Mobility Connector can appropriately be configured with a non-secure HTTP connection.
