How Does the Novell GroupWise Connector Work?
To interact with Novell GroupWise, Exchange Server connects to Novell GroupWise using a Novell technology called API Gateway. The Novell GroupWise API Gateway 4.1 is an optional component that can be added by the Novell GroupWise administrator. This Novell GroupWise technology uses keyword-based text files to provide a communication channel with non-Novell GroupWise systems. It uses pre-defined plain text keywords to format a message for delivery to and from the external system. The Exchange Connector for Novell GroupWise uses the keyword-based text files for the purpose of message flow and directory synchronization with Novell GroupWise (through the Novell GroupWise API Gateway).
