Regardless of the variables involved in adding users to your Synchronizer system, advanced
planning can make the process of adding users easier and faster.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to add yourself to the Synchronizer system for testing purposes.
2.1.4 Gathering GroupWise System Information
In order to configure the GroupWise Connector as you run the Mobility Pack Installation program,
you need to gather certain information about the GroupWise system where users want to
synchronize data.

GroupWise Trusted Application
A GroupWise trusted application can log into a GroupWise Post Office Agent (POA) in order to
access GroupWise mailboxes without needing personal user passwords. The GroupWise Connector
requires such mailbox access in order to synchronize GroupWise data with mobile devices and with
other applications. In addition, the Mobility Connector uses trusted application authentication
through the GroupWise Connector in order to access the GroupWise Address Book to provide
contact lookup beyond the contacts that are downloaded to users’ devices from personal address
books.
Before you install the Mobility Pack, you must use ConsoleOne to configure the GroupWise
Connector as a GroupWise trusted application. You might name the trusted application
MobilityPack
or
GroupWiseConnector
. A trusted application uses a key that consists of a long
string of letters and numbers to provide authentication to the GroupWise POA. ConsoleOne creates
the key in a file in a specified location that is accessible to ConsoleOne.
Follow the instructions in “ Creating a Trusted Application and Key ” in “ System ” in the GroupWise
8 Administration Guide to set up a trusted application and obtain a trusted application key. When
setting up the GroupWise Connector as a trusted application, you only need to fill in three fields in
the Create Trusted Application dialog box in ConsoleOne:
Š
Name
Š Location for Key File
Š
Name of Key File
Do not fill in any other fields.
