Environment

Novell GroupWise Messenger

Situation

The messenger client gets the error: Could not recognize the host of the user ID you entered.
The Messaging Agent gets error: B106.

Resolution

This has been reported to development. A workaround is to use the /diruseralias-cn switch in the Messaging Agent and Archiving Agent startup files. This switch causes host resolution to be disabled and the CN of the user to be taken "as is" rather than be parsed into user@hostname.

Additional Information

There is an @ sign in the username. For example, the userID in NDS istest@somewhere.com Messenger is interpreting the @ sign as a hostname rather than part of the username.
