17.2 GroupWise WebAccess System Requirements

This section has information about requirements for GroupWise WebAccess.

17.2.1 Server Requirements

  • Your server must meet the requirements found in GroupWise Server Requirements.

    IMPORTANT:If you are installing on SLES 15 SP1 or later, you need to add the Python 2 Module 15 SP1 x86 64 module as well as the other modules before installing WebAccess.

  • If installing on OES or SLES:

    • Apache 2.2 with ModProxy Module: Apache with ModProxy is installed by the GroupWise install if a Linux repository is available during the install.

      IMPORTANT:Apache must be configured with TLS for WebAccess or WebAccess will not work.

    • Tomcat 9: Tomcat is installed by the GroupWise install and does not need to be installed on the server.

    • OpenJDK 11: OpenJDK is installed by the GroupWise install and does not need to be preinstalled on the server if a Linux repository is available.

    A Linux repository should be available when you run the GroupWise Installation Wizard. Apache, the JRE or JDK, and the ModProxy Module are automatically installed from the Linux repository if they are not already present on the Linux server.

    If no Linux repository is available during the GroupWise installation, you are prompted to manually install these required components from the Linux media, and then restart the GroupWise installation.

  • If installing on a Windows Server:

    • Oracle Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 8: Oracle JRE 8 is automatically installed with the GroupWise software if it is not already present on the server.

    • Tomcat 9: Tomcat is installed with the GroupWise installation and does not need to be installed on the server.

  • Adequate server disk space:

    • Approximately 525 MB (shared with the Calendar Publishing Host Application and the Monitor Application when they are installed on the same web server; varies by platform)
