3.2 Associating Native GroupWise Users with eDirectory Objects
For background information about native GroupWise users, see Manually Creating GroupWise Accounts
in the GroupWise 2014 R2 Administration Guide.
For native GroupWise users, you can manually create eDirectory objects for them, so that their Messenger presence displays in the GroupWise client.
3.2.1 Creating eDirectory Objects for Native GroupWise Users
-
In the GroupWise Admin console, create or verify the existence of an LDAP Directory object that represents eDirectory in your GroupWise system.
For instructions, see
Setting Up an LDAP Directory
in the GroupWise 2014 R2 Administration Guide. -
In ConsoleOne with the Messenger snapin installed, display the properties of the DefaultScopeProfile object in your Messenger system.
The DefaultScopeProfile object lists the contexts that Messenger searches for User objects in order to provide Messenger functionality to those users.
-
Make a note of the contexts that are valid for users in your Messenger system.
-
In a valid user context, create eDirectory User objects that correspond to native GroupWise User objects.
-
Create the eDirectory User objects with the same names as the GroupWise User objects.
-
Have the GroupWise users set the password on their eDirectory accounts to be same the password that they use to log in to Messenger.
-
-
Continue with Associating the eDirectory User Objects with the Native GroupWise User Objects.
