Modular Web Agent - Configuration

IMPORTANT: You must restart the modwebd executable to effect any changes in the configuration of the Modular Web Agent or its plug-in modules. For information on loading and unloading the NetMail® Agents, see the Novell® NetMail Administration Guide at http://www.novell.com/documentation.

 

Configuration

Identifier

The name of your company. This name appears in the title bar of each client window.

 

Default Language

The default language for the Modular Web Agent and its sub-modules. The language defined in the Parent object or in User Preferences overrides this default setting.

 

Default Time Zone

The default time zone for the Modular Web Agent and its sub-modules. The time zone defined in the Parent object, User object, or in User Preferences overrides this default setting.

 

Ports

Port

The port the Modular Web Agent uses for HTTP connections. The default HTTP port assignment is port 80 or, on Novell Nterprise™ Linux* Services, port 52080.

Use the default port number unless that port number is already in use by another program on the server.

IMPORTANT: The NetWare® Management Portal also uses the default HTTP port assignment of 80. If you are running the NetWare Management Portal NLM on your messaging server (httpstk.nlm), users are not able to reach the Modular Web Agent. For users to reach the Modular Web Agent, you must unload httpstk.nlm from your Modular Web Agent server, change the NetWare Management Portal’s port assignment, or change the Modular Web Agent’s port assignment. Otherwise, when users type the Modular Web Agent server’s IP address or hostname, they launch the NetWare Management Portal.

 

SSL Port

The port the Modular Web Agent uses for secure HTTP (HTTPS) connections. The default HTTPS port assignment is port 443 or, on Novell Nterprise Linux Services, port 52443.

Use the default port number unless that port number is already in use by another program on the server.

 

Template

NetMail templates allow you to control the mail client interface. NetMail 3.5 ships with two client templates—WebAccess and Webmail.

The WebAccess interface provides standard mail client functionality including calendaring, scheduling, busy search, assigning tasks, writing notes, and advanced rules. Administrators can also give users access to self-administration features like changing passwords and configuring vacation messages. Furthermore, administrators can use the WebAccess interface to delegate NetMail administrative functions such as adding, modifying, and deleting user accounts.

Webmail is patterned after the NIMS 2.5 mail client interface. It provides all the features of the WebAccess template with the exception of advanced rules and adding, modifying, or deleting user accounts.

For more information on templates, see the Novell NetMail Administration Guide at http://www.novell.com/documentation.
