Configuring a hybrid cloud user (Windows)

After IBM® Client Application Access (ICAA) is installed on Microsoft™ Windows™, use this procedure to configure ICAA for SmartCloud Notes® if you are a hybrid user. Hybrid users use applications on Domino® servers located at their company sites while also using mail servers in the cloud.

Before you begin

You must have an IBM Notes client user ID file, which you use to log in to ICAA for the first time.

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.
