 Restarting the gwdva temporarily elevates the problem.

Stop gwdva with the following:

/opt/novell/groupwise/agents/bin/grpwise stop gwdva.groupwise

 Start gwdva with the following:

/opt/novell/groupwise/agents/bin/grpwise start gwdva.groupwise

 So in other words in this configuration if you limit concurrent logins to 1 your users cannot login to both EDirectory and Groupwise at the same time. GWIA will give you a wonderful error:53 which according to the TID I saw leads you to beleive the users password is expired, and I do suppose that LDAP returns the same error code for expired and concurrent logins? MAYBE??

Not that it’s a huge deal but so much for limiting your users to kly logging into one comptuer at a time. Well they are limited to two now! NICE!
