Groupwise Database Copy Utility (Dbcopy); Groupwise Generate Csr Utility (Gwcsrgen) - Novell GROUPWISE 8 - SYSTEM Manual

5.17.4 GroupWise Database Copy Utility (DBCOPY)

The GroupWise Database Copy utility (DBCOPY) copies files from a live GroupWise system to a
static location for backup. During the copy process, DBCOPY prevents the files from being
modified, using the same locking mechanism used by other GroupWise programs that access
databases. This ensures that the backed-up versions are consistent with the originals even when large
databases take a substantial amount of time to copy.
For information about using the GroupWise Database Copy utility, see Section 34.4, "GroupWise
Database Copy Utility," on page 468.

5.17.5 GroupWise Generate CSR Utility (GWCSRGEN)

To provide secure communication through an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) connection, the
GroupWise Agents (MTA, POA, and Internet Agent) require access to a server certificate and
private key.
You can use the GroupWise Generate CSR utility (GWCSRGEN) to generate a Certificate Signing
Request (CSR) file and a Private Key file.
The CSR file, which is Base64 encoded, contains the information required for a Certificate
Authority (CA) to issue you a server certificate. This server certificate, when paired with the private
key generated by the GroupWise Generate CSR utility, enables GroupWise agents to use SSL
connections.
For information about SSL and certificates, see Section 75.2, "Server Certificates and SSL
Encryption," on page 1161.
