Enabling Notes® Client Single Logon during install or upgrade

Use this procedure to enable Client Single Logon during Notes® install or upgrade. Client Single Logon synchronizes a user's Windows™ password with their Notes® password.

About this task

These steps are for using the user interface-based Notes® installation executable. For incorporation with a non-UI install or upgrade, you can use a transform to enable Client Single Logon.

Note: To check if Client Single Logon is already installed, click File > Security > User Security > Security Basics. If the Client Single Logon feature is installed, the Login to Notes using your operating system login option is enabled.

Notes® Shared Login is enabled through policy configuration. If Notes® Client Single Logon is installed, it must be uninstalled before Notes® Shared Login (NSL) can be enabled.
