Environment

Access Manager 4.4
GroupWise 18

Situation

WHEN ACCESSING GROUPWISE DIRECTLY:

While accessing directly GroupWise Server sends form <loginForm> to the client. This form contains all the hidden fields (including workstation TimeZone information) - e.g. <input type="hidden" id="WorkstationGMTOffset" name="Timezone.Workstation.gmtOffset" value="0">

RESULT -> Thus client POST the required local TimeZone information to server & it is displayed correctly.


WHEN ACCESSING GROUPWISE SERVER THROUGH NAM:

This will occur when NAM is configured for Identity Injection to GroupWise.

When accessed through NAM, probably GroupWise server assumes that login form is not required & does not include <Form> in the response to client.

RESULT -> Client does not post local TimeZone information to server which results in incorrect time zone for Web Access

Resolution

This has been fixed in later FTFs for GW18.0.x and GW18.1.x.
Ask for gw18.0.2-133100 or later for GW18.0.2 builds and for GW18.1.x build gw18.1.1-133109 or newer.
