1.0 Overview

GroupWise WebAccess allows you to access your GroupWise mailbox and calendar from the Internet.

This section covers the following topics:

The underlying architecture of GroupWise 8 WebAccess consists primarily of two servers (a two-box solution), one for the GroupWise WebAccess Agent and one for HTTP and the servlet, which are connected through TCP/IP. Data security can be provided by a firewall located between the two servers, as shown in the following figure:

Figure 1-1 Architecture of GroupWise WebAccess

The GroupWise WebAccess Agent is available for NetWare and Windows. The servlet server is available for NetWare, Windows, and UNIX.

By installing the GroupWise WebAccess Agent program (GWINTER) on a single GroupWise domain, you can access any post office in your system from any HTTP server that is running. If you are running an Intranet or if security is not a concern, you can run GWINTER on the same machine as the HTTP server and the servlet (a one box solution).

For this document, GWINTER will indicate both GWINTER.NLM and GWINTER.EXE.
