Changing attributes in GroupWise via ldap

Hi all.

Hoping this is the right place for this question...

I'm using the Novell.Directory.Ldap component to update attributes on Ldap entries. I manage to update attributes in my code and if I open the entry in ConsoleOne I can see that the change has taken effect. I would want this change to propagate to the address book in Groupwise, but it doesn't; only when I change something in ConsoleOne the changes (including the one I did from the code) propagates to GroupWise.

I have tried to find some "entry updated" attribute or similar, without luck. What is it that ConsoleOne sets that I don't? How can I make my changes propagate all the way to GroupWise?

Here is a small code sample (leaving out setting up the connection and finding the entry parts):

LdapAttribute ldapAttribute = new LdapAttribute( "description", "New description from my program");

LdapModification[] arrldapMod=new LdapModification[1];
LdapModification ldapMod= new LdapModification(LdapModification.REPLACE,ldapAttribute);

arrldapMod[0]=ldapMod;
ldapConnection.Modify(ldapEntry.DN,ldapMod);

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

It has been a long time since I did any work with Novell and I have never worked with Groupwise.

From LDAP GURU (http://www.ldapguru.net/modules/tutorials/listtutorials.php?cid=11)

DirXML Driver for GroupWise. The driver provides data integration between users in eDirectory with GroupWise accounts in the GroupWise domain. For example, the driver can create e-mail accounts automatically when an employee is hired. The driver can also disable an e-mail account when a user is no longer active. This configurable solution gives organizations the ability to increase productivity and streamline business processes by integrating GroupWise and eDirectory.
Based on this quote, I would think that you would need to make sure that some type of synchonization was already in place or write directly to the groupwise data store to make the changes. I imagine that is what ConsoleOne does, write directly to both data stores.
