NetWare WebAccess can be installed as an optional component during the NetWare 6 installation or it can be installed after the NetWare 6 installation. It is not generally necessary to install NetWareWebAccess on every NetWare 6 server on your network. For most networks, you need NetWare WebAccess installed on only one server in each eDirectoryTM tree. This might vary depending on the size of your organization and your organization's needs.
The NetWare WebAccess installation process automatically does the following:
You are given the option during the installation to select which gadgets you want to enable, and to specify the URL to each gadget.
If you have met the requirements for NetWare 6 and have NetWare 6 installed, you have met almost all of the system requirements for NetWare WebAccess.
The following list specifies the system requirements for installing and running NetWare WebAccess:
Do the following to install NetWare WebAccess during the NetWare 6 installation:
Start the NetWare 6 installation and continue through the install until you get to the screen requiring you to choose either the Express or the Custom installation.
Select the Custom installation option.
You are given the option of installing a new server or upgrading an existing server. NetWare WebAccess can be installed using either of these options.
You must select the Custom installation option to install NetWare WebAccess during the NetWare 6 installation. You cannot install NetWare WebAccess during an Express installation.
Continue through the installation until you get to the screen that lists the components that can be installed with NetWare 6.
Check the NetWare WebAccess component check box along with the other components you want installed with NetWare 6, and then click Next.
Continue to the NetWare WebAccess Setup screen.
Specify the eDirectory context where you want the NetWare WebAccess object created, and then click Next.
You can also browse and select the context.
Choose which gadgets you want to configure now and which gadgets you want to configure later by checking or unchecking the check boxes next to each gadget type. Then click Next and continue through the rest of the NetWare 6 installation.
All NetWare WebAccess gadgets are installed automatically when you install NetWare WebAccess. This screen lets you choose whether to enable and configure those gadgets now or later. The default is to enable and configure gadgets later, because during a new server installation the applications accessed by the gadgets might not have been installed yet. If you choose to set up gadgets now, you must specify the location (URL) where you want the gadgets to link to for each application.
If you choose to enable and configure the Mail gadget now, you will need to specify your e-mail type. You can choose between GroupWise®, POP/IMAP, Exchange, Notes, or NIMS.
If you choose to enable and configure your gadgets later, go to Configuring Gadgets after the NetWare 6 installation is complete.
If you did not install NetWare WebAccess during the NetWare 6 installation, you can still install it afterwards by completing the following steps:
Insert the NetWare 6 product CD into your NetWare 6 server.
You might need to load CDROM.NLM on the server to access the NetWare 6 Product CD.
From the Novell menu on the NetWare 6 console GUI, select Install.
Click Add and browse to the root of the NetWare 6 product CD.
Select the PRODUCT.NI file and click OK.
Check the NetWare WebAccess component check box and uncheck all other components or products unless you specifically want to install them.
Continue with Step 4 and Step 5 to complete the NetWare WebAccess installation.
This section provides instructions for upgrading NetWare WebAccess to work with Novell Portal Services (NPS) 1.01.
NOTE: If you plan to have only on column of gadgets, make your Pages a one-column layout. Otherwise, the stylesheets will display blank column sections on your Page.
Install Novell Portal Services.
For instructions on installing NPS, see the Novell Portal Services Installation Guide.
Enter the Domain Name (DN) for the WebAccess PCO.
This DN is for the Portal Configuration Object (PCO) to use. For example, cn=webaccess_pco, ou=webaccess, 0=novell.
When prompted to upgrade the existing PCO object, select yes and upgrade for all objects.
This completes the upgrade process. You can now do the post-upgrade tasks, Step 4 through Step 6.

Copy the SYS:\WEBAPPS\WEBACCESS\PORTAL\GADGETS directory to install path\NPS\PORTAL\GADGETS directory and then choose not to overwrite the existing files.

Include sys:\webapps\webaccess\web-inf\nwwa-apache.ncfNPS 1.01 will now work with the WebAccess gadgets.
