DA17   /user and /password switches required for this configuration

Source:  GroupWise engine; Post Office Agent.

Explanation:  The /user and /password switches are required when the POA must log into a remote machine.

Possible Cause:  The POA needs to log in to a remote machine where a document storage area is located, but it does not have the necessary user and password information to log in with.

Action:  See "Using POA Startup Switches" and "Installing and Starting the POA" in "Post Office Agent" in the GroupWise 6.5 Administration Guide.

Action:  In ConsoleOne, specify the login information in the Remote File Server Settings box on the Post Office Settings page of the Post Office object.

Possible Cause:  You have renamed the machine where a document storage area is located. The POA can no longer access the original document storage area location, so the POA cannot start.

Action:  First, provide the new location of the document storage area. See "Moving a Document Storage Area" in "Libraries and Documents" in the GroupWise 6.5 Administration Guide.

Next, start the POA using the /noconfig, /user, and /password switches so the POA can start and process the administrative message containing the new storage location without having to access the old storage location. Finally, exit, then restart the POA with its typical configuration.

Action:  Record the conditions under which you encountered the error. For the latest error code solutions, search for TIDs about the error code in the Novell Support Knowledgebase .
