10.2 Using Linux ConsoleOne to Access Domains and Post Offices on NetWare or Windows

In order for you to be able to use ConsoleOne on Linux to administer GroupWise domains, post offices, and agents that are located on NetWare or Windows, the NetWare or Windows servers where the domains, post offices, and agents are located must be accessible from Linux.

10.2.1 Making a NetWare or Windows Server Visible from Linux

To make a NetWare or Windows server visible from Linux, you mount the folder you need to access as a Linux file system. The folder must be shared on the NetWare or Windows server and you use CIFS on Linux to connect to the share. Use the table below to create the CIFS mount command for your system.

Source Operating System	Mount Command	Example
NetWare:	mount -t cifs NetWare_server_IP_address:/NetWare_share_location Linux_mount_location/mount_point_folder -o tcp,rsize=8192,noserverino,username=NetWare_User_name, password=NetWare_password	mount -t cifs gwserver:/mail /mnt/sourcegw -o tcp,rsize=8192,noserverino,username=admin,password=secret
Windows:	mount -t cifs //Windows_server_name_or_IP_address/sharename /Linux_mount_location/mount_point_folder -o tcp,rsize=8192,noserverino,username=Windows_User_name, password=Windows_password	mount -t cifs //gwserver/mail /mnt/sourcegw -o tcp,rsize=8192,noserverino,username=admin,password=secret

Mount Command

Example

NetWare:

mount -t cifs 
NetWare_server_IP_address:/NetWare_share_location 
Linux_mount_location/mount_point_folder 
-o tcp,rsize=8192,noserverino,username=NetWare_User_name,
password=NetWare_password

mount -t cifs gwserver:/mail /mnt/sourcegw -o tcp,rsize=8192,noserverino,username=admin,password=secret

Windows:

mount -t cifs 
//Windows_server_name_or_IP_address/sharename            
/Linux_mount_location/mount_point_folder           
-o tcp,rsize=8192,noserverino,username=Windows_User_name,
password=Windows_password

mount -t cifs //gwserver/mail /mnt/sourcegw -o tcp,rsize=8192,noserverino,username=admin,password=secret

NOTE:The examples above use the following information for source and destination:

Source:

PO server address = gwserver
PO files stored at /mail/po1, where mail is the shared directory

Destination:

Share is mounted at /mnt/sourcegw

10.2.2 Accessing a Domain or Post Office on NetWare or Windows from Linux ConsoleOne

After you have made the NetWare or Windows server visible from Linux:

Mount the domain folder to the Linux server.
In Linux ConsoleOne, authenticate to the eDirectory tree where the Domain object is located.
Click Tools > GroupWise System Operations > Select Domain.
Browse to and select the domain folder, then click OK.

You can now use Linux ConsoleOne to administer all GroupWise objects that belong to the domain that is located on NetWare or Windows.
