Windows XP SP3 or later (32-bit only)
Windows Vista SP2 or later (32-bit or 64-bit)
Windows 7 SP1 or later (32-bit or 64-bit)
Windows 8 (32-bit or 64-bit)
The Vibe system that you connect to must be Novell Vibe 3.3 or later.
Vibe Desktop on Mac requires Mac OS X 10.6 or later (64-bit only).
The Vibe system that you connect to must be Novell Vibe 3.3 or later.
If a user has a team workspace within his or her home workspace (the home workspace is called ), the files in the team workspace might be synchronized to the desktop twice. This happens when users select to synchronize , and then under select the workspace that is a sub-workspace to the user’s home workspace. If Vibe Desktop is configured in this way, Vibe Desktop maintains two separate copies of the files in the workspace.
When selecting a location for the Vibe Desktop folder, you should not configure Vibe Desktop on multiple computers to use the same shared location on the network. This is because Vibe Desktop does not synchronize files properly if two instances are synchronizing to the same shared location, even if the instances are not running simultaneously. Because of this, it is best to always avoid configuring the Vibe Desktop folder to be on a network drive.
If your Vibe server is configured with Windows Authentication, Vibe Desktop cannot synchronize files on your Vibe site because of a port conflict.
For information about how to work around this issue, see Configuring Integrated Windows Authentication to Support Vibe Desktop and the Vibe Add-In
in the Novell Vibe 3.4 Administration Guide.
For more information about configuring Windows Authentication for your Vibe site, see Configuring Single Sign-On with Internet Information Services for Windows
in the Novell Vibe 3.4 Installation Guide.
If you are using Vibe Desktop in conjunction with the Vibe Add-in, login information for Vibe Desktop is lost if you configure your account information in the Vibe Add-in to use the system proxy configuration (by selecting ), then later configure the account to not use the system proxy configuration.
