If no other WebAccess Agents are defined (as is the case by default), the WebAccess Application
directs all user requests to the WebAccess Agent (Agent 1) listed in the
located in the WebAccess Application's home directory on the Web server. The
contains the IP address and encryption key for the WebAccess Agent that was associated with the
WebAccess Application during the application's installation.
If Agent 1 is not available, the user receives an error message and cannot log in.
Redirection/Failover List: Example 1
Assume that the WebAccess Agents are defined as follows:
Location
WebAccess URL
Post office
Domain
GroupWise service provider
commgr.cfg
Using this information, the WebAccess Application would create the following redirection/failover
list:
List Entry
Agent 1
Agent 4
Agent 2
Agent 3
Because there is no WebAccess Agent defined in the WebAccess URL, the WebAccess Application
redirects the user's request to the default WebAccess Agent (Agent 1) assigned to the user's post
office. If Agent 1 is unavailable, the WebAccess Application fails over to the domain's default
WebAccess Agent (Agent 4). If Agent 4 is unavailable, the WebAccess Application fails over to
Agent 2 and then Agent 3, both of which are defined in the GroupWise service provider's list.
Redirection/Failover List: Example 2
Assume that the WebAccess Agents are defined as follows:
Location
WebAccess URL
Post office
Domain
GroupWise service provider
