If your system administrator has turned on LDAP authentication, your LDAP password is used to access your Mailbox instead of a GroupWise password. With LDAP authentication, you are required to have a password and you cannot remove your password.
If your system administrator has disabled changing your LDAP password in GroupWise, you might need to use a different application to change your password. Contact your system administrator for more information.

If you have a password but do not want to be prompted for it every time you start GroupWise, you have several options. The availability of these options depends on the platform on which you run GroupWise, the options your system administrator has set, and other products you have installed.
When you are logged in to the network as yourself and have selected in Security Options or during login, you are not prompted for your password on the current workstation. Windows remembers the password.
When you are logged in to Novell eDirectory as yourself on any workstation and have selected in Security Options, you are not prompted for your password. Because eDirectory has identified you, the password is not required.
When you are logged in to eDirectory as yourself on any workstation where Novell SecureLogin is installed and you have selected in Security Options or during login, you are not prompted for your password. Single sign-on locates your stored password. If other users log in to GroupWise on your workstation, they should deselect this option during login. This does not turn the option off, but makes sure the other password is not stored in place of yours.
The availability of this option depends on the platform on which you run GroupWise, the options your system administrator has set, and other products you have installed.

If you assign a password when you’re in Caching mode, the password is synchronized back to GroupWise the next time you connect to your Online Mailbox. When the password synchronized, it changes your Online Mailbox and your Remote Mailbox password. For more information about Caching Mode, see Section 11.1, Using Caching Mode.

Setting a password for your Mailbox does not affect a proxy’s ability to access your Mailbox. A proxy’s ability to access your Mailbox is determined by the rights you assign him or her in your Access List.
