Edirectory User Synchronization - Novell GROUPWISE 7 - SYSTEM Manual

Mount Directory: Specify the mount directory where ConsoleOne can find mounted file
systems where domains and post offices are located.
GroupWise databases can be located on Linux servers, NetWare servers, or Windows servers.
In the Linux mount directory, you create directories that have the same names as the servers
that are mounted to those mount points. You do this for each server where a domain or post
office is located that you want to access from ConsoleOne. The following table illustrates the
correspondence between UNC paths and mount point directories for GroupWise database
locations on Linux, NetWare, and Windows, assuming the typical mount point directory of /
mnt:
Platform GroupWise Domain UNC Path
Linux
\\Linux_server\GW_partition\domain_directory /mnt/Linux_server/
NetWare \\NetWare_server\GW_volume\domain_directory
Windows \\Windows_server\GW_share\domain_directory
GroupWise administrators can have different mount points depending on the workstation or
server where they are running ConsoleOne. The mount directory information is stored in a
user-specific preferences file (.consoleone/SnapinPrefs.ser in each GroupWise
administrator's home directory).

4.3 eDirectory User Synchronization

For user information to be displayed in the GroupWise Address Book, it must be stored not only in
eDirectory but also in the GroupWise domain and post office databases. If you add or modify user
information using an installation of ConsoleOne with the GroupWise Administrator snap-in, the
GroupWise Administrator snap-in adds the user information to the GroupWise databases. However,
if you add or modify user information using a ConsoleOne installation that is not running the
GroupWise Administrator snap-in, the user information is not changed in the GroupWise databases.
This is also true if you add or modify user information using Novell iManager or older
administration tools such as NetWare Administrator.
