Before Getting Started

The GroupWise Connection Wizard will create a trusted application key that can be used by the GroupWise Connector. Before running the GroupWise Connection Wizard:

• Login into the eDirectory tree using the same administrative account that was used in the eDirectory Connection Wizard.
• Use Windows explorer and ensure that you can access the wpdomain.db file of the GroupWise Domain that hosts the GroupWise Post Office that hosts the GroupWise account that will be used by this connection.
• Ensure that you use a GroupWise account that has supervisor rights to the entire GroupWise system (both eDirectory and File System supervisor rights).

Create a GroupWise Connector Using Riva

You can either continue with the "New GroupWise Connection Wizard" window opened when the eDirectory Connection Wizard closed, or you can start this Wizard by clicking on "Novell GroupWise" link in the "Connection Wizards" box under "Setup" in the Riva application:

1. At the "Welcome to the GroupWise Wizard" window click Next > to continue.
    
2. At the "Welcome to the Trusted Application Wizard" window click Next > to continue.
    
3. At the "Trusted Application Key" window select Skip Trusted Application Key creation and click Next > to continue.
   
   
    
4. At the "Choose detection type" window click Next > to continue.
    
5. At the "Choose an eDirectory Connection" window ensure that the correct tree name is highlighted and click Next > to continue.
    
6. At the "GroupWise Connection Detected" window highlight any GroupWise domain objects that do not have a corresponding Post Office and click Remove.
   
   
   
   Click Next > to continue.
   
   Note: If GroupWise Domain objects that do not have a Post Office are left in the list, this Wizard will report an error when the GroupWise connection is created.
    
7. At the "Automatic Configuration Results" window click Finish to create the GroupWise connections.
    
8. The GroupWise connection objects will be added to the Riva Connections pane.
   
   
    
9. The next step is to test each PO connector.  For each PO connector double-click the PO connection object.  This will open a "Connection Edit" window.
    
10. Select the "Connection Targets" pane.  Select each connection target (e.g. client-soap://) and click "Test the connection target" link.  In the "Enter an account name" window provide a groupWise account name that is part of this post office and click Ok >>.
    
    
    
    If the test is successful, you should see a "Connection Successful" window.
    
    
    
    Click OK to close the "Connection Successful" window.  Each connection target should be tested.  When all testing is completed, select Save >> to save the connection settings and close the "Connection Edit" window.
