New Mobile fix for IBM Connections available:
This article is possibly outdated. It mentions an older version of a software or tool. I haven't checked if the links are still working!
IBM sold their collaboration tools portfolio to HCL Software in 2019, so the product names changed and most of the IBM links are no longer working.
New Mobile fix for IBM Connections available:
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 There are 7 Fixes available and for Multi Mobile Patch it shows a superseded fix.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.
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.
