53.2 Installing Additional WebAccess Components

The following sections assume that you have installed at least one WebAccess Agent and one WebAccess Application (or WebPublisher Application) and now need to install additional agents or applications.

53.2.1 Installing Additional Components on NetWare or Windows

For more information, see NetWare and Windows: Setting Up GroupWise WebAccess in the GroupWise 7 Installation Guide.

Installing a NetWare or Windows WebAccess Agent

  1. Insert the GroupWise 7 Administrator for NetWare/Windows CD into the CD drive to start the Installation program, click Install Products, click GroupWise WebAccess, then click Install GroupWise WebAccess. If the Installation program does not start automatically, run setup.exe from the root of the CD.

    or

    If you’ve already copied the GroupWise WebAccess software to a software distribution directory, run setup.exe from the internet\webacces directory.

  2. Click Yes to accept the license agreement and display the Select Components dialog box.

  3. Deselect all components except the GroupWise WebAccess Agent, then click Next.

  4. Follow the prompts to create the WebAccess Agent’s gateway directory, install the WebAccess Agent software, and create the WebAccess Agent’s object in Novell® eDirectory™.

    If you are installing to a domain where another WebAccess Agent already exists, you must use a different directory and object name than the one used for the existing WebAccess Agent.

  5. When installation is complete, you need to configure your system so that the WebAccess and WebPublisher Applications know about the WebAccess Agent and can direct the appropriate user requests to it. For information, see Section 53.3, Configuring Redirection and Failover Support.

Installing a NetWare or Windows WebAccess or WebPublisher Application

To install a WebAccess Application or a WebPublisher Application to a Web server:

  1. Insert the GroupWise 7 Administrator for NetWare/Windows CD into the CD drive to start the installation program, click Install Products, click Groupwise WebAccess, then click Install GroupWise WebAccess. If the installation program does not start automatically, run setup.exe from the root of the CD.

    or

    If you’ve already copied the Groupwise WebAccess software to a software distribution directory, run setup.exe from the internet/webacces directory.

  2. Click Yes to accept the license agreement and display the Select Components dialog box.

  3. Deselect all components except the GroupWise WebAccess application and/or the Groupwise WebPublisher Application, then click Next.

    The WebAccess Application and WebPublisher Application must be associated with a WebAccess Agent. For information on configuring a WebAccess or WebPublisher Application to connect to other WebAccess Agents, see Section 53.3, Configuring Redirection and Failover Support.

  4. Specify the path for the WebAccess Agent’s gateway directory.

  5. Follow the prompts to install the files to the Web server. Restart the Web server.

53.2.2 Installing Additional Components on Linux

For more information, see Linux: Setting Up GroupWise WebAccess in the GroupWise 7 Installation Guide.

Installing a Linux WebAccess Agent

  1. Make sure that LDAP is running on your eDirectory server and that it is configured to accept login from the WebAccess Agent Installation program.

  2. In a terminal window, become root by entering sux and the root password.

    The sux command enables the X Window System, which is required for running the GUI GroupWise Installation program, Installation Advisor, and the Setup Advisor. If you do not want to use the X Window System, you can install GroupWise components individually, as described in Installing the GroupWise Agents Using the Text-Based Installation Program in Installing GroupWise Agents in the GroupWise 7 Installation Guide.

  3. Change to the root of the GroupWise 7 Administrator for Linux CD.

  4. Enter ./install.

  5. Select the language in which you want to run the Installation program and install the WebAccess software, then click Next.

  6. In the Installation program, click Install Products > GroupWise WebAccess > Install WebAccess Agent.

  7. When the installation is complete, click OK.

  8. Click Configure WebAccess Agent.

  9. Follow the prompts to configure the Linux WebAccess Agent.

  10. When installation and configuration is complete, you need to configure your GroupWise system so that the WebAccess and WebPublisher Applications know about this instance of the WebAccess Agent and can direct the appropriate user requests to it. For instructions, see Section 53.3, Configuring Redirection and Failover Support.

Installing a Linux WebAccess and WebPublisher Application

To install a WebAccess Application and a WebPublisher Application to a Web server:

  1. After installing and configuring the WebAccess Agent, if you want to use an existing Apache and Tomcat installations, click Install GroupWise WebAccess Application.

    or

    Click Install GroupWise WebAccess Application with Apache and Tomcat.

    This installs a version of Apache and Tomcat specifically for use with GroupWise. Apache files are installed under /var/opt/novell/http and /etc/opt/novell/http. Tomcat files are installed under /var/opt/novell/tomcat4 and /etc/opt/novell/tomcat4.

    In addition, a self-signed certificate is generated, enabling users to use WebAccess and WebPublisher using an SSL connection.

    NOTE:The option to install Apache and Tomcat along with the WebAccess Application is not available if you are installing to Novell Open Enterprise Server Linux because Apache and Tomcat are already installed and configured correctly in that environment.

  2. When the installation is complete, click OK.

  3. Click Configure WebAccess Application.

  4. Follow the prompts to configure the Linux WebAccess Application.

  5. When the installation and configuration is complete, start or restart the Web server.
