Creating a Notes account for CloudLink and setting up Notes on the CloudLink server
CloudLink accesses Domino Directory and Domino views using the Notes API. To make the connection, CloudLink requires a Notes user ID that has the required administrative rights. You can use the Domino Administrator ID if you want, but we recommend that you create a Notes account for CloudLink to use, with only the required permissions.
The server on which CloudLink is installed must run Lotus Notes client 8.5.3 or IBM Notes client 9.0.
Note: During the configuration and operation of CloudLink, the CloudLink Notes client must remain closed, because CloudLink uses the Notes API.
To create a Notes account for CloudLink
-
Create a Notes user within the Domino Directory that has a valid ID file and Reader access to the Directory. There is no requirement for this user to have a mail file.
To set up Notes on the CloudLink server
-
Log on to the CloudLink server with the CloudLink service account.
-
Install Lotus Notes client 8.5.3 or IBM Notes client 9.0 in single-user mode, using the default directories.
-
Configure Notes using the ID file that you have created for CloudLink. Ensure that the ID file is stored within the default data directory.
