About the account credentials that CloudLink requires

Last published : Apr 17, 2026
During the configuration of CloudLink you must provide the credentials for a number of accounts:
  • The CloudLink service account. This is a Windows service account with the required permissions. The ArchiveTools CloudLink Server service runs under this account to access Active Directory, Exchange servers and Domino servers, and to deploy Personal Archive web folders.
See Creating a CloudLink service account for an Exchange environment.
See Creating a CloudLink service account for a Domino environment.
  • If you configure Active Directory synchronization or Domino Directory synchronization, CloudLink requires the credentials of the Management Console account. This account must have the System Administrator administration role in the Management Console.
  • For Domino Directory synchronization, you must specify the password for the Notes ID file that was used to configure the Lotus Notes client on the CloudLink server.
See CloudLink server requirements.
