Reported This Bug Upstream.

Expected Behavior: Once you open empathy. Go to Accounts and create a Groupwise
Messenger Account, After you close the create accounts, you should be connected to
Groupwise Messenger Server or prompted to accept the server certificate, and after accepting
it use the account without any required further actions on the Users Part.

 What Actually Occurs: The Groupwise Messenger account is created, but does not
open/connect. If you go back to the accounts area you will see that the
Groupwise Messenger account icon indicator is flashing, which alerts that there
is an issue with the account not connecting properly.

Discovered Workaround: cp
~/.purple/certificates/x509/tls_peers/<gwmessenger_servername>
/tmp/haze-<random_generated_per_session>/certificates/x509/tls_peers

It seems as though when a new empathy session is started, a new
/tmp/-haze-<random_generated_per_session>/certificates/x509/tls_peers is
created.

The groupwise session certificate needs to by copied from the
~/.purple/certificates/x509/tls_peers directory to the /tmp/haze- directory
generated with the connection.

This has occurred in both default empathy as well as the Daily PPA version (2.27.5 on the machine I reported to bugzilla from), in Jaunty. Will test and report back with Karmic on Monday.
