I removed the ssl stuff from gwha.conf and it's working!
 
To recap I did two things:
1) Changed the port from 8400 to 8500
2) removed ssl from gwha.conf (I had actually added this when it was not working on \
port 8400 since I have everything else ssl)  
With regards to ssl in the gwha.conf, I used the save cert and key that I use for ssl \
on the poa. I even generated and used a new cert and key and I tried it with just the \
names and with the full path. I could never get it to work with ssl.  
Thanks All!

Is not using SSL a security risk?
 
Is the http/https port that the POA uses involved? 
 
Thanks,

netstat does not show the port listening. When I telnet I get Error:800f

that server to bypass the firewall to test it.    If the port is listening and a \
telnet connects but you don't get a login prompt, then its most likely an issue with \
the gwha.conf file.

I tried using port 8500 and it still did not work.

What ports need to be open for GWHA to work? 

I can't telnet in.

Yes and yes but you may have keyed me to my problem. This is my /etc/xinetd.d/gwha \
and the port 8400 is a port that "Galaxy" backup uses. I will change the port to \
something else and test early tomorrow morning. Thanks. Al

service gwha
{
socket_type     = stream
protocol        = tcp
wait            = no
user            = root
server          = /opt/novell/groupwise/agents/bin/gwha
   instances = 1
   type = UNLISTED
   port = 8400
}

Did you enable the gwha service in /etc/xinetd.d/gwha.  Edit this file and set \
enabled to yes.   Then make sure to restart the xinetd service;  

/etc/init.d/xinetd restart

and also check to see if it's enabled to start on boot:

chkconfig xinetd

If OFF,  then do chkconfig xinetd on

Has anyone been able to get GW Availability to work?

I am trying to get this going with a GW 7.0.2 POA and when I unload the POA it will \
not auto-restart. Monitor does see that the POA is down.

I have created a HA user on the POA box and Monitor loads with  the --hauser gwha \
--hapassword gwagents options.

This is my POA gwha.conf file:

[gwha]
ssl       = yes 
key       = 1650.key
cert      = 1650.b64
password  = *******

[1650-1.UH]
server    = /opt/novell/groupwise/agents/bin/gwpoa
command   = /etc/init.d/grpwise
startup   = 1650-1.poa
delay     = 2
wait      = 10
