Associate Objects

The Associate Objects utility associates a GroupWise^® object's information with a Novell^® eDirectory^TM object.

For example, if you delete a user's eDirectory account but not his or her GroupWise account, the user's GroupWise information is retained as a GroupWise External User object in the GroupWise database and can be viewed in the GroupWise View. You can then associate the GroupWise External User object with another User object. In essence, you are moving the GroupWise information from one User object to another.

In some circumstances, it is possible for the link between a User object and its GroupWise information to be lost. If this occurs, the GroupWise information, which still exists in the GroupWise database, appears as a GroupWise External User object in the GroupWise View. You can use the Associate Objects utility to reassociate the GroupWise information with the User object.

The Associate Objects utility can be used to associate the following objects:

• GroupWise User or External User objects with User objects
• GroupWise External Entity objects with External Entity objects
