#2546: Option for SSL toggle for Groupwise protocol
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  thundercorp    |       Type:  enhancement
   Status:  new            |   Priority:  minor      
Component:  libpurple      |    Version:  2.1.0      
 Keywords:  groupwise ssl  |    Pending:  0          
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 [Originally from AdiumX project Trac, but applies since this is
 essentially a libpurple problem]
 AdiumX does not currently have an option to connect to a Groupwise server
 which has SSL disabled. In my case, I have confirmed that the server in
 the example has SSL off.

 From the AdiumX developers:

 ''summary changed from Cannot connect to GroupWise to Add support for
 Novell GroupWise servers with SSL disabled.''
 ''milestone changed from Needs Feedback - Received to Waiting on
 libpurple.''
 '''That's correct. libpurple does not support non-SSL GroupWise
 connectivity.'''

 Some companies allow for intranet Groupwise chat but do not enable SSL
 because they want transparency in order to monitor conversations. However,
 libpurple in any client will refuse to connect to a Groupwise server that
 does not have SSL enabled.
