The initial GWIA object is automatically created when you choose to install the GWIA as part of creating a new domain. You can later add a GWIA to a domain where you did not initially choose to install one. Typically, you do not need more than one GWIA in a domain, but if you want to customize the processing of multiple GWIAs, you can do so. For example, you might want a GWIA that is dedicated to servicing IMAP clients, because IMAP processing has high overhead.
In the GroupWise Administration Console, connect to the domain where you want to install the GWIA.
Click Internet Agents > New.
Specify a unique name for the GWIA object.
Specify the fully qualified Internet hostname of the server where the GWIA runs, such as gwia.example.com, or the name of the "A record" in your DNS table that associates the hostname with the server's IP address.
Set the time zone, language, and platform as needed, and then click OK.
Creating a new GWIA object accomplishes the following additional tasks:
Creates the domain/wpgate/gwia subfolder.
Creates the gwia.cfg file with the --home switch set to the gwia subfolder.
On Linux, adds the new GWIA to the gwha.conf file.
On Windows, configures the new GWIA as a Windows service.
Starts the new GWIA.
If you want additional GWIAs that are not associated with domains where post offices and mailboxes are located, you can set up a new domain server specifically to house one or more additional GWIAs.
