UWC Forward Function Should use Sieve Redirect, not Notify

Communications Express allows users to create mail filters by setting a forwarding address in the Options page. This forwarding functionality uses the sieve notify function instead of redirect. Notify is intended to send a short message (possibly via pager) to let the recipient know he has new mail. Messages should actually be forwarded using the redirect functionality instead of notify (which is a nonstandard option).

From this release onwards, all new forward mail filters will by default use the forward rule instead of the notify rule. This fix is also backward compatible. If you upgrade Communications Express from an earlier release, you can preserve your old settings for forwarding mail filters (that is, using the notify rule) by setting the mailfilter.preservenotify property to true in the uwcconfig.properties file. This property is set to false by default.

login_type=proxy Doesn't Seem to Have any Effect.

The login_type parameter in the db_config.properties file specifies the method through which the connection to the LDAP store is maintained. You can assign the following three values to this parameter:

anon - Enables the user to connect to the LDAP as an anonymous user

restricted - Enables the user to connect as a user who has the rights to perform operations on the Address Book Store.

proxy - Enables the user to masquerade as a user who can perform operations on the Address Book Store. Assigning this value enhances performance as it bypasses the LDAP bind on each operation.

According to this bug, when users try to specify a method for connecting to the LDAP store by setting this parameter to any of the values listed above, the connection to the LDAP is made with the directory manager credentials irrespective of the method specified. This prevents the administrator from setting some ACLs in the directory and users can have access to parts of the LDAP store when they should not.

JES5-B14a: Linux RH4.0: Unable to load Communications Express Login Page in a Multi-tiered Deployment

The login page fails to load even if the user logs in with valid credentials in a Multi-tired deployment topology. This issue is seen in the following scenario:

• Communications Express and webmail host are installed on one node

• Directory Server, Calendar Server on separate nodes

• Calendar Server, Messaging Server, and Communications Express configured with SSO

• Access Manager is enabled in the uwcauth.properties by setting the property auth.identity.enabled to true

The web container logs a series of exceptions indicating a problem with Access Manager when Communications Express tries to execute code that makes calls to Access Manager SDK. This happens when a user tries to log on to Communications Express.
