Installing GroupWise 2012 from Scratch

[edit] General Prerequisites for GW2012

• SLES 11
  • apache2.2
  • ModProxy module
• eDirectory
• ConsoleOne
  • tomcat6 (added by GW software installer)
  • IBM JRE 5 or later (installed by GW installer)

[edit] SLES 11

Just a normal install with ESXi 5.5 on the network card and thin provisioned hard drive.

• Create domain and postoffice directories

md /groupwise/domain
md /groupwise/po

[edit] HTTP Server Install

GroupWise needs a webserver and apache2 is fine.

• Open YaST
  • HTTP Server
  • take defaults
  • Make sure to set to start on boot.
• Open HTTP Server again
  • Go to Modules tab
  • Enable proxy and proxy_connect (mod_proxy module)

[edit] Open Firewall

For a lab it is ok to disable the firewall.

[edit] eDirectory Install

Novell's LDAP directory system, much like Active Directory.

[edit] prerequisites

• static IP address
• network time protocol (NTP) set
• SLP
• multicast routing

[edit] Static IP address

Set in YaST/Network Settings, this should be set for any server.

[edit] Set time

Having good time set on the server is important. Open Control Center/Date and Time

• Set time zone
• Click Change button
  • Set Synchonize with NTP Server (time.nist.gov)
  • Synchronize now

[edit] SLP

Install OpenSLP.

Open YaST/SLP server

• Under Global SLP Configuration: Set to start service while booting
• Under SLP Server Configuration: Set response to: Multicast
• Finish

[edit] multicast routing

To check if the host is enabled for multicast routing, enter the following command on the command line:

/bin/netstat -nr

The following entry should be present in the routing table:

224.0.0.0 0.0.0.0

If the entry is not present, log in as root and enter the following command to enable multicast routing: The interface could be a value such as eth0, hme0, hme1, or hme2, depending on the NIC that is installed and used.

route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev interface

For example:

route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev eth0

[edit] Start SLP

Open a command line and start the SLP service:

/etc/init.d/slpd start|stop

[edit] eDirectory Install

Install eDirectory. Download the edir installer from Microfocus or the Software Depository.

• From the command line run, The defaults should be good enough:

./nds-install

• Export the paths. The installer will display several paths that need to exported.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/novell/eDirectory/lib64:/opt/novell/eDirectory/lib64/nds-modules:/opt/novell/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
MANPATH=/opt/novell/man:/opt/novell/eDirectory/man:$MANPATH
TEXTDOMAINDIR=/opt/novell/eDirectory/share/locale:$TEXTDOMAINDIR

• Copy them one by one following an export statement on the commandline. They should look something like:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/novell/eDirectory/lib64:/opt/novell/eDirectory/lib64/nds-modules:/opt/novell/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export MANPATH=/opt/novell/man:/opt/novell/eDirectory/man:$MANPATH
export TEXTDOMAINDIR=/opt/novell/eDirectory/share/locale:$TEXTDOMAINDIR

• Import the paths. Run the following command to import the paths into eDirectory:

. /opt/novell/eDirectory/bin/ndspath

[edit] Configure eDirectory

To configure eDirectory change to the eDirectory directory

cd /opt/novell/eDirectory/bin

run the following command changeing gw12-tree to the tree name, and the admin common name and organization to something appropriate:

./ndsconfig new -t gw12-tree -n gwava -a cn=admin.o=gwava 

The result should look something like this:

 Tree Name		: gw12-tree
 Server DN		: gw12server.gwava
 Admin DN		: admin.gwava
 NCP Interface(s)	: 10.1.4.101@524
 HTTP Interface(s)	: 10.1.4.101@8028
 HTTPS Interface(s)	: 10.1.4.101@8030
 LDAP TCP Port		: 389
 LDAP TLS Port		: 636
 LDAP TLS Required	: Yes
 Duplicate Tree Lookup	: Yes

 Configuration File	: /etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/conf/nds.conf
 Instance Location	: /var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data
 DIB Location		: /var/opt/novell/eDirectory/data/dib

Make sure this worked by accessing iMonitor: Browse to the nds page on the server on port 8029. For example, http://10.1.4.150:8028/nds

Specify a user name, context, and password. For example, login cn=admin.o=novell See [1]

[edit] ConsoleOne

Prerequisites:

• eDirectory (installed above)

Install from GroupWise2012 .iso in the consoleone/Linux directory

./c1-install

• choose language 1 for English
• choose 8 for all snapins, so we don't have to worry about installing them later
• install the JRE

To determine if it worked. At the system prompt of a local session or an X terminal (remote) session, enter the following command:

/usr/ConsoleOne/bin/ConsoleOne

Log into the tree with the credentials created above in eDirectory. For example: cn=admin Tree sfgw12tree (browse should work if you got this far successfully, other trees on the network will show up too) Context o=gwava

[edit] GroupWise 2012

Prerequisites:

• SLES11
• eDirectory
• ConsoleOne

Run installer from .iso or top of untared directory.

./install

dir: /groupwise/supportgw12po

• Add the admin user
• Install agents

Now add more users.

[edit] Start agents

MTA: open Terminal window

cd /opt/novell/groupwise/agents/bin
./gwmta --show --home /groupwise/supportgw12dom &

A window will pop up showing the MTA, go to ConsoleOne right-click on the domain and choose "Properties" and verify that Database Version field displays 12. Check connection by browsing to http://10.1.4.101:7180/ to show MTA web console.

POA: in the same directory as above with the MTA

./gwpoa --show --home /groupwise/supportgw12po &

A window will pop up showing the POA, go to ConsoleOne right-click on the post office and choose "Properties" and verify that Database Version field displays 12. Check connection by browsing to http://10.1.4.101:7181/ to show POA web console.

(The & allows the program to run in the background so you can reclaim the terminal window.)

If they won't restart Error: Running the agent with conflicting effective users [2]

• go to /groupwise/supportgw12mta and delete uid.run
• go to /groupwise/supportgw12po and delete uid.run
• then start as above.

Make sure apache and tomcat start on bootup:

chkconfig apache2 on
chkconfig tomcat6 on

[edit] GroupWise 2012 Client

Create a VM and install a gw12 client and have it connect to 10.1.4.212:1677.

for the webacc go to 10.1.4.212/gw/webacc but it seems to want to have the user logged in via the client first.
