77.1 Using WebAccess on a Desktop Workstation

To use WebAccess on a desktop workstation:

  1. To access GroupWise WebAccess in a desktop browser, use the following URL:

    http://web_server_address/gw/webacc

    Replace web_server_address with the IP address or DNS hostname of your web server. If the web server uses SSL, use https rather than http.

  2. Type your GroupWise user ID in the User Name box and your GroupWise mailbox password in the Password box.

  3. (Optional) Select Remember Me to never log out of WebAccess. Only use this option on a private computer in a secure location. If this option is not selected, the default timeout is 20 minutes. You can change the default timeout by following the steps in Setting the Timeout Interval for Inactive WebAccess Sessions.

    On a private computer in a secure location, the default WebAccess timeout is 480 minutes (8 hours), which is convenient for day-long use. On a public or shared computer, the default timeout is 20 minutes, which protects your personal data. You can change these settings. For more information, see Setting the Timeout Interval for Inactive WebAccess Sessions.

  4. (Optional) To change the WebAccess interface language, click Options, and then select the language you want from the Language drop-down list.

  5. Click Login to display the GroupWise WebAccess main window.

  6. Click Help for more information about using GroupWise WebAccess.
