Creating An External Domain - Novell GROUPWISE 8 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

After you have connected the two systems, users can send messages between the two systems by
entering the recipients' full addresses (userID.post_office.domain or user@host).
If desired, you can simplify addressing by exchanging information between systems, which causes
user information to be displayed in the Address Book. The easiest way to exchange information is to
enable the External System Synchronization feature in both systems. When enabled, this
synchronization constantly updates the Address Books in both systems so that local users can more
easily address messages to and access information about the users in the external system. If you
don't want to enable the External System Synchronization feature, you can manually exchange
information.

51.1.2 Creating an External Domain

The first step in connecting two GroupWise systems by way of Internet Agents is to create an
external domain in each GroupWise system. The external domain represents the Internet Agent
domain in the other GroupWise system and provides the medium through which you define the link
to the other system.
To create an external domain:
1 In ConsoleOne
the Create External GroupWise Domain dialog box.
2 Fill in the following fields:
Domain Name: Specify the name of the Internet Agent domain as it is defined in the external
GroupWise system.
Domain Database Location (Optional): Leave this field empty.
Time Zone: Select the time zone where the domain is physically located.
Version: Select the external domain's GroupWise version. The domain's version is determined
by its MTA version. The options are 4.x, 5.x, 6, 6.5, 7, and 8.
Link to Domain: Select the domain in your system that you want to link to the external
domain. This must be your system's Internet Agent domain. By default, all messages sent to
the external GroupWise system are routed to this domain. The domain's MTA then routes the
messages to the Internet Agent, which connects to the Internet Agent in the other system.
3 Click OK to create the external domain.
The external domain is added to your GroupWise system and is visible in the GroupWise View.
In the following example, Dublin is the external domain.
