After investigating the following workaround has been found to resolve this error and it actually works fine. But the correct way is not to modify the actual WhlFiltSecureRemote_HTTPS.xml but create a CustomUpdateable file. Anyways just to give you an idea here is it how the above error is fixed:
C:\Whale-Com\e-Gap\von\conf\SRATemplates\WhlFiltSecureRemote_HTTPS.xml
Ø and then try these steps and let me know the results:
Please open this file in notepad (ensure you don’t break it as its xml file> à
C:\Whale-Com\e-Gap\von\conf\SRATemplates\WhlFiltSecureRemote_HTTPS.xml
and and very carefully only change the following :
<APPLICATION>
<APPLICATION_TYPE>OWA2003SP1</APPLICATION_TYPE>
<URL>/exchange/.*/Inbox/.*\.EML\?cmd=preview</URL>
<URL>.*\.EML.*</URL>
<URL>.*(Calendar|Contacts|Tasks)</URL>
</APPLICATION>
to
<APPLICATION>
<APPLICATION_TYPE>OWA2003SP1</APPLICATION_TYPE>
<URL>/exchange/.*/Inbox/.*\.EML\?cmd=preview</URL>
<URL>.*\.EML.*</URL>
<URL>.*(Kalender|Kontakte|Aufgaben)</URL>
<URL>.*(Calendar|Contacts|Tasks)</URL>
</APPLICATION>
// if you notice that I have added English Calendar after German and by doing this you ensure that in multiligual environment if someone has english OWA then that should also work with German or any other european langauges.
