This article describes how to create and test an Enterprise GroupWise Connection in Riva. This type of connection depends on an eDirectory connection to read and select the target users in the Riva sync policy. This type of connection uses a GroupWise Trusted Application Key to provide admin level access to impersonate into the "target" user mailbox accounts:
Note: The Riva
Create trusted application key wizard works only with GroupWise 7 or 8 systems provided that the Riva system has admin level file system access to the wpdomain.db file of the primary GroupWise domain. The wizard produces a trusted application key that is not GroupWise 2012 compatible.
The recommended best practice for all Riva for GroupWise servers is to
manually create a GroupWise trusted application key. The steps in this article are based on using a manually generated GroupWise trusted application key.
For Riva servers that attempt to connect to an upgraded GroupWise 2012 server, the previously Riva-created trusted application key will fail. For instructions on how to correct this situation, see
