Environment


Novell GroupWise 7
Novell GroupWise 32 bit Client
Novell GroupWise WebAccess 7

Situation

When a change is made to a signature in the GroupWise client on Windows, this change is not reflected in the signature used by WebAccess and crossover client. Also when there is a signature set in the Windows client and never one in WebAccess or in the crossover client, no signature will be present in WebAccess and the crossover client. Changes made in the signature in WebAccess and the crossover client are never been visible in the Windows Client. If you use the GroupWise 6.5.x client, you will see/use the same signature as with WebAccess and crossover client.

Resolution

This is working as designed.

Additional Information


Steps to duplicate:
===================
1) in an existing GroupWise system (with WebAccess) create a user USER1 with password Novell.
2) log in with USER1 on a Windows Client and set a signature (TOOLS|OPTIONS|ENVIRONMENT|SIGNATURE)
3) log out
4) log in to WebAccess with USER1 and check under options the signature. You will see that there is no signature present.
5) add a signature
6) logout of WebAccess
7) log in with USER1 on a Windows Client and check the signature
8) you will see the same signature as has been defined under 2.
9) change the signature
10)close the windows GroupWise client
11)log in to WebAccess with USER1 and check under options the signature. You will see that you will have the same signature as entered under 5 and not as expected under 9.
