Implementing WebAccess in a
NetWare Cluster
You should already have set up at least a basic GroupWise
®
system, as described in Chapter 2,
“Planning GroupWise in a NetWare Cluster,” on page 23 and Chapter 3, “Setting Up a Domain and
Post Office in a NetWare Cluster,” on page 43 . As part of this process, the “System Clustering
Worksheet” on page 37 and the “IP Address Worksheet” on page 40 were filled out. If you do not
have access to the filled-out worksheets, print the worksheets now and fill in the clustering and
network address information as it currently exists on your system. You need this information as you
implement WebAccess in a cluster.

5.1 Understanding the WebAccess Components
If you are not familiar with GroupWise WebAccess, review “ GroupWise WebAccess Overview ” in
“ Installing GroupWise WebAccess ” in the GroupWise 7 Installation Guide .
As you plan WebAccess in a clustering environment, you must keep in mind that WebAccess
consists of two components:
Š
WebAccess Agent (
gwinter.nlm
) that will be associated with a GroupWise WebAccess
domain in the cluster
Š
WebAccess Application (a Java* servlet) that will be added to your Web server. You can install
the WebAccess Application on a clustered Web server or a non-clustered Web server. How to
set up and manage a clustered Web server is beyond the scope of the GroupWise
documentation. If you have not clustered your Web server, you can install the WebAccess
Application on a server that is outside of the cluster where the WebAccess Agent is installed.
5.2 Planning WebAccess in a Cluster
A main system configuration difference between a GroupWise system in a clustering environment
and a GroupWise system in a regular environment is that you need to create a separate domain to
house each GroupWise gateway, including the WebAccess Agent.
Section 5.5, “WebAccess Clustering Worksheet,” on page 103 lists all the information you need as
you set up the WebAccess Agent in a clustering environment. You should print the worksheet and
fill it out as you complete the tasks listed below:
