Target system versions supported / tested

Bravura Security Fabric performs operations on Novell GroupWise using the native GroupWise client installed on the Bravura Security Fabric server. This client includes a COM application programming interface (API), which exposes user administration functionality.

Bravura Identity can provision GroupWise users, including creating their home mail folders and attaching users to a global address book.

Connector status / support

Customer-Verified

Clients may contact Bravura Security support for assistance with this connector. Troubleshooting and testing must be completed in the client's test environment as Bravura Security does not maintain internal test environments for the associated target system.

Installation / setup

The GroupWise Client must be installed on the Bravura Security Fabric server as a "Standard" installation, rather than as a "Workstation" installation. The GroupWise agent uses the NCP protocol to connect to GroupWise servers. Nothing is installed on Novell GroupWise servers.

Note

The agtgrpw agent establishes and closes a connection to Novell each time it is run. Only one connection can be active at any given time, so when the agent is run, it automatically terminates the NetWare connection from Windows.
