netmonitor

I have done a search for netmonitor and there is nothing that tells me what this actually does in iw.cfg. Can anyone explain?

Netmonitor is a new implementation of the code that maintains user-group relationships in TeamSite 5.5.2. If netmonitor is disabled, then server uses teamsite 5.0 implementation of this functionality. TeamSite server sends requests to domain controllers for all configured domains in the domain list and collects the group information for each user in the TeamSite roles files or roles stored LDAP . This is done when TeamSite is started, when "iwreset" is executed and every 10 minutes to update the user-group list.

Starting with Teamsite 5.5.2, if netmonitor is enabled, server will update group-user list asynchronously (server runs separate thread for each domain it cares about). The primary reason for introduction of netmonitor is to collect the user and group relationship quickly to provide practically instantaneous startup and iwreset propagation time. In TeamSite 5.0 this is done synchronously meaning until the query for first domain is over the new one will not be made and after collecting all the group information the TeamSite is started.
