50.3 Automating Reattachment to NetWare Servers

You can specify the reattach information for the Windows Internet Agent in ConsoleOne. Whenever the Windows Internet Agent loses its connection to a post office that is on a NetWare server, it reads the reattach information from the domain database and attempt to reattach to the NetWare server.

The NetWare Internet Agent does not use this information. To reattach to NetWare servers where user post offices reside, the NetWare Internet Agent uses the user ID and password specified during installation. This user ID and password are specified in the gwia.cfg file. For more information, see Section 52.3, Required Switches.

To specify the reattachment information for the Windows Internet Agent:

  1. In ConsoleOne, right-click the Internet Agent object, then click Properties.

  2. Click Reattach > Settings to display the NetWare reattachment Settings page.
