GroupWise Client Logs in automatically 2

GroupWise Client Logs in automatically; any way to stop that?

Hi,

If you mean on boot up the Notify launches, simply remove it from the startup folder.

If you mean that it launches and does not ask for a passowrd, simply assign GroupWise users passowrds through the GroupWise View in NetWare Administrator.

Lou,

Thanks for the reply; here's the issue: the client (not notify) automatically logs in. Problem here is that we have about 3,500+ users, and we want the user to login to GroupWise EVERY time they launch it.

Hi,

In actuality, if you have Notify in your startup, it automatically attach to the GroupWise system and therefore the client will also be attached.

Hi thickage,

Right click your GroupWise Icon,

You'll notice the Target will say something like this:
C:\Novell\GroupWise\GrpWise.exe

add the following to the end of that line
C:\Novell\GroupWise\GrpWise.exe /@u-?

-- will ask for username & password everytime.

If you only want to remove the GW Client from startup, navigation to your Start --> Programs --> Startup and remove it from there.
(will only remove it from start up. If click Icon without the /@u-?, GW will still load w/no password required)

Good luck.

If using GW 6: In ConsoleOne select the post office where your users reside. Click the Tools->GroupWise Utilites->Client Options... menu. Click the Security button. Remove the checkmark from Allow NDS authentication instead of password. See if that fixes your problem.

There are similar steps using NWAdmin for GW 5.5.

P.S. In the same Security area as in my previous post, you can remove the checkmark from Allow password caching. This will prevent users from being able to select the "Remember my password" option.

Good luck,

Things to be aware of!

If you want security settings you really need to both have a password on the groupwise mailbox not just the novell login.

You need to set the security level on the post office to something other than low.

Under the low setting if you don't have passwords associated with groupwise you are then able to use the /@-? switch to access anybody's mail.
