Scaling Your WebAccess

Installation
®
If your GroupWise system is relatively small (one domain and a few post offices) and all post
offices reside in the same location, a basic installation of GroupWise WebAccess might very well
meet your needs. However, if your GroupWise system is large, spans multiple locations, or requires
failover support, you might need to scale your GroupWise WebAccess installation to better meet the
reliability, performance, and availability needs of your users.
The following sections provide information about the various configurations you can implement and
instructions to help you create the configuration you choose:
Section 53.1, "WebAccess Configurations," on page 877
Section 53.2, "Installing Additional WebAccess Components," on page 880
Section 53.3, "Configuring Redirection and Failover Support," on page 882
For information about creating a basic GroupWise WebAccess installation, see

53.1 WebAccess Configurations

A basic installation of GroupWise WebAccess requires the WebAccess Agent and the WebAccess
