Create and Test an Enterprise GroupWise 2014 Connection

GroupWise 2014 has removed the dependency upon eDirectory.  The Riva Enterprise Connection type will not work with GroupWise 2014.  Riva now includes an Enterprise Connection 2014 connection type in the GroupWise connection wizard.

This article describes how to create and test an Enterprise Connection for GroupWise 2014 in Riva.  This type of connection uses a GroupWise 2014 generated trusted application key to provide admin level access to impersonate into the "target" user mailbox accounts:
