Configuring a service-only cloud user (Windows)

After HCL Client Application Access (HCAA) is installed on Microsoft™ Windows™, use this procedure to configure HCAA for SmartCloud Notes® if you are a service-only user. Service-only users do not use applications on on-premises Domino® servers at their company sites. They can use HCAA to work with local applications on the client.

Before you begin

You must know the name and password to use to log in to the IBM Connections™ Cloud service so that you can download the configuration tool. If you are logging in for the first time, your administrator gives you the name and password. Often, the name is an email address, such as sdaryn@renovations.com.

About this task

If you already use HCL Notes in the cloud or an earlier version of HCAA in the cloud, HCAA is ready to use and you can skip these steps.
