60.1 Using 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 Username box and your GroupWise mailbox password in the Password box.

  3. (Optional) If you are in a secure location, select This is a private computer.

    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, as described in Section 62.2.1, Setting the Timeout Interval for Inactive Sessions.

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

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