Comment (by dossy):

 Update: as per Mike Stoddard at Novell, GroupWise Messenger allows
 passwords in the clear over an SSL channel, but require an obfuscated
 password when not using SSL.  Unfortunately, the obfuscation algorithm is
 proprietary and Novell hasn't disclosed a reference implementation, which
 is why it isn't supported in Pidgin or any other OSS client.

 Mike has said he will try to bring up this issue when discussing
 requirements for the next GroupWise release.  If the GWM server will
 support, say, MD5 or SHA1-hashed passwords to be sent, then we could
 support that in libpurple.
