When a user is moved in the directory and is associated to a GroupWise 2014 account, the GroupWise user can no longer login since the POA fails with "LDAP Error: 49, Invalid credentials, Invalid password [D019] User:xyz". Once a GAC (Synchronize) action is issued on the GroupWise account, the user can login again.

Have the GroupWise (iManager / AD) Plugin detect the Directory User Move action and issue a GroupWise Synchronize event on the GroupWise account.

  • Currently, the procedure is
    1) move the user in iManager
    2) switch to GAC
    3) click Synchronize

    The problem here is that it's a procedure that depends on remembering these steps. If these steps aren't followed in that order, the user needs to be unassociated and reassociated, which is a pain to do.

    If the iManager (and MMC) plugins can issue instructions to the GAC to synchronize, it would greatly ease administrative tasks.

  • I have created a cronjob for this issue. It runs every hour in case somebody forgets to press the synchronize button. I know it is not event based.

  • @Gellért - Can you post the script text that you run from the cronjob here as a comment? I and many others would like to do the same since the GroupWise team has not Planned this IDEA for us.

  • Sorry Gene, I was wrong. I created 24 eDirectory User Synchronization Events in the primary MTA to run the synchronization every hour. But in R2 there is an option to run it by interval, let's say every hour. This is the shortest interval. But there is a script that pushes the email addresses back to eDirectory.

    curl -k --user $ADMIN:$PWD -H "Content-Type:application/json" -X POST --data "{\"commit\":true}" $PUBURL

  • So in GW 2014 R2, we just define four MTA User Sync events that run every 15 minutes of: at :00, at :15, at :30, and at :45
