Planning for the Installation

Before you install and use the driver, you must plan a local or remote installation and define user accounts for GroupWise driver access.


Understanding a Local Installation

A local installation installs the driver on the same Windows NT/2000 or NetWare computer where you installed DirXML and eDirectory. The GroupWise domain database can either be on the same computer or a different computer.


Local system configuration.


Understanding a Remote Installation

A remote installation installs the driver on a different computer than the one where DirXML and eDirectory are installed. You will want to use this configuration when DirXML and eDirectory are installed on a Linux* or Solaris* platform. In this case, the driver is installed with the DirXML Remote Loader on a Windows NT/2000 system. The GroupWise domain database can be on any of the systems or on a separate system.

GroupWise can be installed on a separate system, on the DirXML system, or on the driver system (two-system installation), or all components can be installed on a single Windows NT/2000 system.

Configuring Driver Authentication

In order for the driver to authenticate to the GroupWise domain, the driver must first authenticate to its local operating system, and then authenticate to the system holding the GroupWise domain. (If the driver is on the same computer as the domain database, you do not need to configure authentication.)

As part of configuring authentication, you will create the same username and password on each system, and assign the account administrative rights.

重要:  To establish a connection between systems, you must create user accounts with the same username and password for each system.

In order to configure authentication you should:


Create a User Account for the System Containing the Driver

As part of configuring authentication, you should create the same username and password on system containing the driver, and assign the account administrative rights.

重要:  To establish a connection between the driver and the GroupWise domain system, you should create user accounts with the same username and password for each system.

After you have created the user account for the driver system, refer to Create a User Account for the System Containing the GroupWise Domain.

When the GroupWise Domain is on NetWare

If the driver is running on Windows NT/2000 and the GroupWise domain is on NetWare, it's especially important to verify that this user has rights to the GroupWise primary domain database. If access is not granted to this user, changes will not replicate to the rest of the GroupWise system.

To define a user account when the GroupWise domain is on NetWare:

  1. In ConsoleOne, create a user in NetWare with the same user name and password as the Windows user account.

  2. Give the user Read, Write, Create, Erase, Modify, and File Scan access to the GroupWise primary domain database and subdirectories.
