IMPORTANT:
If there is a firewall between the Synchronizer server and users’ mobile devices, be
sure to configure the firewall to allow communication on the selected HTTP port.
Server Certificate
In order to use a secure HTTP connection, a server certificate is required. If you do not already have
a certificate signed by a certificate authority (CA) for the Synchronizer server, the Mobility Pack
Installation program can create one for you. However, you should obtain a valid signed certificate as
soon after installation as possible.
For assistance in obtaining a signed certification from a certificate authority (CA), see “
Securing
Communication between the Mobility Connector and Mobile Devices
” in “
Securing Your
Synchronizer System
” in the
Novell Data Synchronizer Administration Guide
.
Incoming Devices
By default, users can configure their mobile devices to connect to your Synchronizer server as soon
as they know that it is available and they have the necessary information to configuration their
mobile devices to connect to it. However, the initial synchronization of GroupWise data to the
Mobility Connector can be a time consuming process. If users connect their mobile devices to your
Synchronizer system before the initial GroupWise data synchronization is complete, users might not
receive all of the expected GroupWise data when they first connect. As a result, they might think
that there is a synchronization problem, when in reality, all they need to do is wait a while for all of
their data to arrive.
To prevent users from experiencing partial synchronizations of GroupWise data, you can block
devices from connecting to your Synchronizer system until you are certain that all GroupWise data
has synchronized to the Mobility Connector and it is ready for access by mobile device users. By
blocking device connections until you are ready, initial synchronization for users proceeds more
smoothly.
DATA SYNCHRONIZER MOBILITY PACK INSTALLATION SUMMARY SHEET
Under
Mobile Device Port
, mark whether you want to configure the Mobility Connector to use a secure or
non-secure HTTP port to communicate with mobile devices. Specify the port number used by the mobile
devices that your Synchronizer system supports.
DATA SYNCHRONIZER MOBILITY PACK INSTALLATION SUMMARY SHEET
Under
Mobile Device Port
, mark whether you want the Mobility Pack Installation program to create a self-
signed certificate for you. If you already have a signed certificate, specify the location of the certificate
file. Make sure that the location is accessible to the Mobility Pack Installation program on the
Synchronizer server.

Under
Block Incoming Devices
, mark whether you want to block incoming devices from connecting to
your Synchronizer system until all GroupWise data has synchronized to the Mobility Connector. If you
mark Yes, you must manually release the block before users can connect, as described in “
Blocking/
Unblocking Incoming Devices
” in “
Mobility Connector Configuration
” in the
Mobility Connector Installation
and Configuration Guide
