WebAccess Agent

The GroupWise 6.5 WebAccess Agent cannot access older (pre-6.5) domains and post offices. In addition, WebAccess Agents older than version 5.5 EP SP3 cannot access GroupWise 6.5 domains and post offices.

Therefore, to continue to provide WebAccess service to users while you are updating your system, you need to:

• Update the WebAccess Agent at the same time you update its domain and post offices. This keeps the WebAccess Agent version synchronized with the domain and post office version.
• If you have multiple domains or post offices that will be updated over a long period of time, install the GroupWise 6.5 WebAccess Agent in a GroupWise 6.5 domain to service users on GroupWise 6.5 post offices. Keep your current WebAccess Agent, installed in a GroupWise domain that will support it, to service users on pre-6.5 post offices.

WebAccess Components on the Web Server

The GroupWise 6.5 WebAccess Agent can communicate with the GroupWise 5.5 or newer WebAccess applications/servlets (on the Web server). If you have GroupWise 5.5 or newer, you can update your WebAccess Agent independent of the WebAccess components on the Web server.

The GroupWise 6.5 WebAccess Agent cannot communicate with pre-5.5 Web server components. In this case, you need to update the WebAccess components on your Web server at the same time you update the WebAccess Agent.
