Templates

The Modular Web Agent provides two template-based, mail client interfaces: WebAccess (Webacc.CTP) and WebMail (WebMail.CTP).

The WebAccess interface provides standard mail client functionality as well as calendaring, scheduling, tasks, and notes. Administrators can also use the WebAccess interface to give selected users access to NetMail® administrative functions such as adding, modifying, and deleting user accounts.

WebMail is patterned after the NIMS™ 2.5 mail client interface. It provides standard mail client functionality; in addition, administrators can use the WebMail interface to give users access to self-administration features like changing passwords and configuring vacation messages.

Webacc.CTP and WebMail.CTP each contain everything needed to present their respective client interfaces; images, web pages, localized text, etc. are all compiled in these two template files. Consequently, NetMail no longer needs to install multiple mail client directories. When the Modular Web Agent initializes on the messaging server, it simply loads the template files into memory.

The WebAccess and WebMail objects must be created in the tree before they can be loaded on the messaging server or selected in the Modular Web Agent, Parent, and User objects. For more information, see Creating Template Objects.

Template objects represent a template file in one of the following directories:

Template objects have no configurable options.

 

Templates Container

The Template container is created in Internet Services during installation. This container is the centralized location for template objects. The Modular Web Agent references the Templates container when scanning for available templates.

IMPORTANT: Every Template object must be represented in the Templates container in order for the Modular Web Agent to find it. If a Template object is created elsewhere in the tree, it must be represented by an Alias object in the Templates container.

If the Template container is deleted, it can only be recreated by re-running NIMSEXT.

NOTE: For information on running the NIMSEXT utility, see the Novell® NetMail Administration Guide at http://www.novell.com/documentation.
