Required Switches

The following switches point the Internet Agent to the Internet Agent's directory. They are assigned their initial value during installation. If you move the Internet Agent to another location, you must update these switches.

/dhome
/hn
/home

The following switches are only for the NetWare version of the GroupWise Internet Agent, and are only required if the Internet Agent is running in remote mode, meaning that it does not reside on the same server as the GroupWise domain directory.

/user
/password


/dhome

Points to the SMTP service work area. This is normally the Internet Agent's gateway directory under the domain\wpgate directory. See Relocating the Internet Agent's Processing Directories.

Syntax: /dhome=pathname

NetWare Example: /dhome=sys:\headq\wpgate\gwia

Linux Example: -dhome /gwsystem/provo1/gwia

Windows Example: /dhome=c:\gwia


/hn

Specifies the hostname that is displayed when someone connects to your Internet Agent via a Telnet session. You should enter the hostname assigned to you by your Internet service provider.

Syntax: /hn=host_name

Example: /hn=gwia.novell.com

This switch is required only under certain circumstances. Normally, the Internet Agent gets the information from another source and does not need this switch. If you receive a message that the /hn switch is required, you must use the switch. For the NetWare version, the /hn switch is required only if you don't use the hosts file in the sys:\etc directory to indicate the IP address and name of the Internet Agent server. If either of these options (the IP address or the name of the server) is not available, the program cannot start.


/home

Points the Internet Agent to the Internet Agent's gateway directory. This is always a subdirectory of wpgate in the domain directory structure.

Syntax: /home=gateway_directory

NetWare Example: /home=sys:\headq\wpgate\gwia

Linux Example: -home /gwsystem/provo1/gwia

Windows Example: /home=j:\headq\wpgate\gwia


/user (NetWare Only)

Sets the login ID that the NetWare Internet Agent must use to log into a remote file server to access the domain database and Internet Agent directories.

Syntax: /user-login_ID


/password (NetWare Only)

Sets the password that the NetWare Internet Agent must use to log into a remote file server to access the domain database and Internet Agent directories.

Syntax: /password-password
