Aaron Burden: Fountain pen and a notebook

The last two weeks i installed two IBM Connections 3.0.1.

After installing i went to IBM Fix Central and look for the latest fixes. There are 7 Fixes available and for Multi Mobile Patch it shows a superseded fix. So i decided to download patch one to seven and ignored july mobile update.

fixcentral1

I installed the fixes as ever.

  • Updating updateinstaller

  • Disabled node synchronisation

  • Disabled Application Server automatic starting

  • shut down the Clusters

  • synchronize nodes

  • and so on.

After the installation i can’t use the mobile apps for iOS, android or Blackberry. The error messages shows “You have to install the July 2011 mobile patch to use this app.”

A lot of people don’t like to store credentials in mobile apps or browsers. A good workaround is the usage of OAuth 2.0 tokens, but the application needs to support it and the server you’re talking to too. The IBM Connections Mobile App can use it for authentication.

OAauth2 can be used directly with WebSphere Application Server and Connections 6.0. There are no special OAuth servers or applications needed!

The Documentation at IBM was a little bit confusing for me, there are lots of sidenotes, but you just need to do following steps, to use OAuth 2.0 token-based authentication with the IBM Connections Mobile App.

Wikis in IBM Connections 5.5 have a little bug, because the link (/library instead of /wikis/form/api/library) for images are wrong and so they are not displayed.
