2.4 Adding Users to the GroupWise Connector

When you add users to the GroupWise Connector, the GroupWise Connector communicates with the GroupWise POA to obtain data from users’ mailboxes. The GroupWise Connector then passes the users’ mailbox data to the Sync Engine for distribution to the Mobility Connector and other connectors.

2.4.1 Adding Users in Synchronizer Web Admin

After installation, additional user information might have been obtained from your LDAP directory by configuring Synchronizer to search additional LDAP containers, as described in Searching Multiple LDAP Contexts for Users and Groups in Synchronizer System Management in the Novell Data Synchronizer System Administration Guide.

If only a few users want to synchronize GroupWise data with mobile devices, you can add these users individually to the GroupWise Connector, as described in Adding a User to a Connector in Synchronizer Web Admin in Connector and User Management in the Novell Data Synchronizer System Administration Guide.

IMPORTANT:Be sure to add users to the GroupWise Connector before adding them to other connectors.

2.4.2 Adding Users with LDAP Groups

If you added users to the GroupWise Connector by adding LDAP groups, simply add users to the LDAP group in your LDAP directory and the users are automatically added to the GroupWise Connector. For more information, see:

2.4.3 Using Profiles to Customize New Users

When users are added during Data Synchronizer installation, they are configured with the default set of synchronization options for the GroupWise Connector:

Item Type

Sync Engine to GroupWise

GroupWise to Sync Engine

Appointment

Yes

Yes

Contact

Yes

Yes

Discussion Note

Yes

Yes

Folder

Yes

By default, all the listed item types are synchronized both to and from GroupWise. If you want to create new users with different synchronization settings, you can create one or more user profiles before adding more users to the GroupWise Connector. For instructions, see Managing User Profiles in Connector and User Management in the Novell Data Synchronizer System Administration Guide.
