LDAP Authentication: This option applies only if you are using LDAP to authenticate users
to GroupWise, as described in Section 36.3.4, “Providing LDAP Authentication for GroupWise
Users,” on page 514, and if the LDAP server is not a Novell LDAP server. If this is the case,
specify the user’s LDAP authentication ID.

details, see Chapter 32, “Restoring GroupWise Databases from Backup,” on page 427.
View Client Options: Click View Client Options as a convenient shortcut for Tools >

user information.

7Click GroupWise > General > Identification to display the user’s current eDirectory
information.
This information appears in the GroupWise Address Book, as described in Chapter 6,
“GroupWise Address Book,” on page 91. If you keep private information in the Description
field of the User object, you can prevent this information from appearing the GroupWise
Address Book. See Section 6.1.6, “Preventing the User Description Field from Displaying in
the Address Book,” on page 96.

13.2.2 Creating Multiple GroupWise Accounts
If you have multiple eDirectory users who will have GroupWise accounts on the same post office,
you can use the Post Office object’s Membership page to quickly add the users and create their
accounts. Each user’s GroupWise user ID will be the same as his or her eDirectory username.
