3.1 WebDAV / Edit-in-place Issues with Microsoft Vista

Microsoft Vista has numerous problems with WebDAV access affecting all WebDAV interactions.
There is also a Vista-specific issue with applets that prevents the edit-in-place feature from working
properly. Monitor Microsoft support bulletins for updates on these issues. For the applets, refer to
the following Sun bulletins:

Bug 6440902 (http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6440902)
Bug 6432317 (http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6432317)

3.2 Drag-and-Drop Issue on SLED

At release time, the current version of SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) ships with an older
1.4.x version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). This version has a bug which prevents dragand-
drop from operating properly with the Novell Teaming file upload applet, However, copy-andpaste
still works. Updating the JRE to 1.5.x on the SLED client machine resolves the problem.

3.3 Update Failure in Folder Summary View of Tasks

If you modify a task in place, the summary page underneath does not update to reflect the change.
You must refresh the page. A similar behavior can be seen in calendars.

3.4 Log Out / Log In Required to Change Interface Language

If you change your interface language, the change is immediate in the Liferay portal, but requires
logging out and logging in again before Novell Teaming responds to the change.

3.5 Log Out / Log In Required for WebDAV Access after Password Change

If you change your password through the Liferay portal or by other means, you might need to log
out and log in again for WebDAV access to work properly.

3.6 E-Mail Authentication Not Supported by Default

The Liferay portal allows authentication by IDs other than screen name (e.g., e-mail address).
Enabling this feature requires a number of prerequisites and has some side-effects that might not be
desirable:

All e-mail addresses must be unique
Liferays LDAP search filter must be changed from cn=@screen_name@ to mail=@email_address@.
Unique screen names must still be defined for each user.
WebDAV and Web Services only support authentication by username (screen name), not e-mail
address.
Alternatively, it is possible to use the e-mail address as the screen name (i.e., screen name and e-mail
address fields are identical). This, however, is a decision that cannot be changed and must be part of
the initial population of the database from LDAP.

3.7 Novell Teaming Error Log and Internet Explorer

In Internet Explorer, if you try to download the Novell Teaming system error log using the Reports
menu item in the Teaming Administration portlet, you must have the Security setting set to Medium
or less for the download to work. Firefox works in all cases.

3.8 Liferay Timeout Box Obscured

If your session times out while viewing a folder with a table view, the Liferay pop-up box will be
obscured. We hope to fix this in a future update.

3.9 Benign Warnings in Liferay Log File

Five warnings appear in the Liferay startup log file (catalina.out). These are benign and can
safely be ignored:

service.impl.PortletLocalServiceImpl - "Portal with name EXT_1..."
deploy.hot.PluginPackageHotDeployListener
org.hibernate.imple.SessionFactoryObjectFactory - "Initial context...
No appenders for log4j
net.sf.ehcache.config.Configurator - "No configuration found...

3.10 NullPointerException at Shutdown

When you shut down Novell Teaming, the log file contains a message about a
"NullPointerException". This error is benign.

3.11 Extra Directory Created in FileRepository Tree

A directory tree named jackrabbit is created in the FileRepository root directory. This is the
result of initialization of software components that are not yet supported in the current release.
