Supporting Soap Clients - Novell GROUPWISE 8 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

36.2.4 Supporting SOAP Clients

Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) is used by e-mail clients such as Evolution
mailboxes. You can configure the POA to communicate with SOAP-enabled e-mail clients much
like the GroupWise client does.
1 In ConsoleOne, browse to and select the POA object to configure, then click Properties.
2 Click GroupWise > Agent Settings.
3 Fill in the following fields:
Enable SOAP: Select Enable SOAP to turn on SOAP processing.
Max SOAP Threads: Specify the maximum number of SOAP threads you want the POA to
start.
The default maximum number of SOAP threads is 20. This is adequate for most post offices,
because each SOAP thread can service multiple SOAP clients. By default, the POA creates 4
SOAP threads and automatically creates additional threads as needed to service clients until the
maximum number is reached. You cannot set the maximum higher than 40.
You might want to lower the maximum number of SOAP threads if SOAP processing is
monopolizing system resources that you prefer to have available for other processes. However,
insufficient SOAP threads can cause slow response for SOAP client users.
4 Click Apply to save the SOAP thread settings.
5 To secure SOAP connections to the post office:
5a Click GroupWise > Network Address.
5b Select Required in the Internal SOAP SSL drop-down list.
The same SSL setting applies to both the internal SOAP port and the external SOAP port.
For additional instructions about using SSL connections, see
Certificates and SSL Encryption," on page
6 Click OK.
ConsoleOne then notifies the POA to restart so the new settings can be put into effect.
