Set or Change your GroupWise password in the client

While the GroupWise client can be instructed to allow access if you are logged into the network, GroupWise WebAccess cannot check for network login. You must set a password in the client in order to use WebAccess.

Open the GroupWise client by clicking on the globe icon.

Use the Tools > Options > Security > Password to set or change your password.
(See instructions below.)

(#'s below correspond to #'s in figure above)

1. Press 'Tools' on the menu.
2. Use your mouse to select 'Options' and click on it.

1. Double-click on 'Security' icon.

1. Enter your current password under 'Old Password'.
   (If you have never set a password, this box will be grayed out and you can skip to the next screen shot, below)
2. Press 'OK'

1. Next to 'new password', enter the password you prefer.
   (You can use the same password as the one you use for other logins.
   We recommend 6 or more characters, including a non-alphanumeric character, such as: | \ } { + ( ) * @ !)
2. Next to 'confirm new password', enter your preferred password again.
3. Check the box next to 'No password required with NDS'
   (This will tell GroupWise to skip having you login to GroupWise if you are already logged in to the network. 'NDS' stands for 'Novell Directory Services')
4. Press 'OK'

Possible Consequences of GroupWise Password Change

If you have just changed your GroupWise password, you will need to use the new password when you use GroupWise WebAccess. (the web version)

If Internet Explorer automatically enters your password for you on WebAccess, you will need to hand enter the password over the asterisks that automatically appear when you enter your username in the webpage.
(Explorer will likely ask you if you would like it to remember the new password for you.)

If you have set your passwords in the portal so that it will log you in to WebAccess, you will need to update the password in the portal's My Preferences page.
