This gives very little info so make sure the SLES modules/extension as mentioned in the requirements are installed, the server itself is registered and the GW admin certificates are all correct. Otherwise provide more details as OS/service pack used, GMS version and build you trying to install etc.

Thanks for answer my config is:

NAME="SLES"
VERSION="15-SP4"
VERSION_ID="15.4"
PRETTY_NAME="SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP4"
ID="sles"
ID_LIKE="suse"
ANSI_COLOR="0;32"
CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:suse:sles:15:sp4"

+ latest patches

GroupWise is 18.4.2

Mobility is groupwise-mobility-service-18.4.2-x86_64.iso

Required modules installed

Certificates should be ok, the admin console has commercial certificates to eliminate browser warnings

There seems to be an issue with your installed python modules. Interesting fact: My SLES 15 SP4 GMS Server does *not* have the SLES Python-3 module installed:

Refreshing service 'Python_3_Module_15_SP4_x86_64'.

Also, according to the GMS docs, that modules should *NOT* be installed:

"

SLES 15 SP2 or Later Requirements#

SLES 15 SP2 or later requires the following SLES modules/extension before you can install Mobility:

Everything installed double checked

One step further the /var/log/datasync/webadmin/server.log leeds me to a certificate problem, the gms_mobility.pem had the private key missing, so I fixed that and console comes up

Most things seem to run

can connect to console

incomming mails arrive at groupwise-agent and mobility-agent, can see in logs under debug condition

but General Health Check says all passed as off Checking Nightly Maintenance...   Failed

and I still can notconnect my adroid phone to the system

I configure it the same as a connection to a same system at customer site which isworking

Still can not connect my android phone even in the internal privat lan, on port 80 security disabled.

Is there any way to check if connection is possible. If I connect with a bowser I got the message im am not allowed

thanks for all the help

Hey Rainer,

it looks like you went through a lot in the last couple hours...

When I'm testing GMS internally i take the windows mail app from Windows 10 and connect via IP

You have to user SSL on 443. At least thats what I'm using all the time...

If you use an Android device, use Gmail APP for Active Sync... In my opinion works best

You are right, when you open a browser on https://gms_ip you should see 403 forbidden

Any hints in /var/log/datasync/connectors? 

I try to add an account in gmail, the same way it worked at customers site, but no success on my site

Sorry no windows just mac and linux (suse and debian) and android 7 android 13 on smartphone and android 12 on tablet.

But I can easily install win 10 trial in a VM

Thanks 

Rainer

Thanks to everybody for help and hints. I learned a lot. but still no smartphone connection. So I decided to do a brand new start with all the knowledge I got

Rainer

I am turning in a circle, returned to the original certificates for admin service, giving me the browser error, but ok

setup a new sles15 sp 4 installed GMS 18.4.2 and I get the error from the beginning 

AttributeError: module 'lib' has no attribute 'OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms'

all python modules were installed by install.sh

Sorry me again.  I started up from scratch installed again a new SLES 15 SP,

just Base System, Desktop Apps, Server Apps, SUSE Hub, nothing else, updates no patches.

then 'find / -name "*pytho*"' and found a lot of python 3.6 modules installed

As of MRosen, if I understand it right noPython should be installed

Installation failed again

That can´t be true. Finally after the 5th or so try and always stick at the same point,I tried the following.

I uninstalled the Python3 that was installed with SLES 15 SP4 by zypper rm phyton3 and then started to install GMS and installation ran smooth up to the end.

That can be the way that you first have to remove packages from a fresh installed server following the GMS documentation  to be able running the GMS install. Without an note in the installation guide or support notice!

GMS is running, MCHECK reports i hope minor problems.

I will stop for today

Good evening everyone

Good evening everyone

so finally everything works, but it's a maze.

the solved installing problem first deleting all Python3

accessing GSM Console only if I use a proxy

connection mobile device only via a proxy LE secured too absolut easy

direct connection to GMS console Browser security warnings and sometimes imposible to connect

direct connection from mobile device impossible secure port 443 or unsecure port 80

Thanks everybody for help in this case.

Have a nice sunday

Kind regards

Rainer

Rainer Mueller-knoche said:

Maybe the reason is because you use self signed certificates internally. Most devices are not happy about this.

If you want to use public certificates (including LE) mcheck will help you. It's almost the same activity as in recent dsapp.

Good Morning,

did go back to to original certs before the last tries use my certificate signed by my CA at the proxy for devices with internal access only and LE certificates  on the proxy for devices with internal and external access now.

Did make proxy for all groupwise consoles now including the http consoles for DO, PO, GWIA. So I do not have to remember all the ports.

Works fine

Rainer

Regarding the initial installation error, I can confirm that I experienced the same problem on newly build SLES 15 SP4 (plus channel updates) + GMS 18.4.2 server.    As suggested above, I removed python modules via "zypper rm phyton3", then relaunched the GMS installer.  This time it worked fine and let me proceed with the installation. 

I'm a little confused about the rest of the points in this thread, I don't see anything that looks like a certificate issue or proxy issue. This seems to be simply an installation problem due to what is probably a conflicting python rpm.

Note the PIP issue that is addressed in this tid was also an issue but they don't seem to be related: portal.microfocus.com/.../KM000012369

So the python issue seems to be a general problem and not only mine. For the certificates problem, that my caused  through my replacement of the GW Admin certs with my own trusted ones to omit browser warnings.

What the mentioned TID concerns, I had this problem on one of my early partly successfull when replaceing certificates with own ones, but resulting in not be able connecting with mobile devices. In last successfull installation no problems with the console, I am useing Chrome on my OS X iMAC.

ok, I did the same and it worked:

zypper rm python3

/mnt/install.sh

gms stop

pip uninstall cheroot

pip install cheroot==8.6.0

gms start

all appears well.

So there are a few questions here:

1. Why does SLES15SP4 apparently now install Python3 by default, especially even without the matching Python Module added?

2. Why, for the sake of it, can't Microfocus get their act together and finally learn universally how to properly install software on SUSE/Linux? (Hint: It has something to do with using repositories vs. just dumping (often conflicting with the OS) RPMs by scripts into the system, totally outside of any OS management). In doubt, ask the OES team how to do it, they seem to be the only ones with that knowledge left @Microfocus.

3. Can we do away with SSL please, and invent something that works and doesn't drive everybody insane? (Partly kidding)
More seriously: Insisting on 100% "proper" certificates on one hand, while at the same time not supporting replacing the admin! interface certificate (yes, that's the case, it's not officially supported) is not really helping.

I understand it may be meaningfull in a lot of envioremnets to secure internal groupwise communication by SSL, but is should be an option for the user and not enfored especially by intransparent GW internal CA and certificates. And if there should be more documentation about, so i.e. the hint to import the GW CA into the browser to suppress nerving browser warnings for admin users, or whow to propper replace the GW CA  

mrosen  - be assured that I will share your input with the GroupWise product team!

Would someone take a look at this tid and see if it solves the issue for you.  If it does, we have an FTF build of Mobility that makes these steps no longer necessary - portal.microfocus.com/.../KM000010631
