56.2 Monitoring the WebAccess Application

The WebAccess Application includes a Web console, similar to the WebAccess Agent’s Web console, that you can use to monitor it. The Web console lets you see information about logged in users, such as their IP address, their GroupWise and Web browser versions, and the WebAccess Agent providing mailbox access. In addition, you can view the WebAccess Application’s log files and configuration files, and view Java information such as the version and classpath settings.

The following sections provide information to help you use the Web console:

56.2.1 Enabling the WebAccess Application Web Console

  1. Edit the webacc.cfg file, located in the WebAccess Application’s home directory, which varies by platform.

    NetWare and Windows:

    novell\webaccess\users on the Web server

    Linux:

    /opt/novell/groupwise/webaccess/users

  2. Locate the following lines in the file:

    Admin.WebConsole.enable=false
    Admin.WebConsole.username=admin
    Admin.WebConsole.password=admin
    
  3. Enable the Web console by changing the FALSE entry to TRUE:

    Admin.WebConsole.enable=true
    
  4. If desired, change the default username and password. A username and password is required.

  5. Save the file.

  6. Restart Tomcat.

    NetWare:

    java -exit tomcat4

    Linux:

    /etc/init.d/novell-tomcat restart

    Windows:

    Restart the Tomcat service
