Setting up HCL Nomad on-premises

Follow these steps to set up HCL Nomad if you use an on-premises mail server located at your company site.

Procedure

    Tip: See whether your ID file is in a vault: from the Notes® client, click File > Security > User Security. You see the following text in the Security Basics tab when your ID is in a vault: This ID file has been backed up into vault xxxx. If you don't see this text, make a local copy of the ID on your device.

      Note: To download a user's Notes ID from an ID Vault, the Domino server supplied must be ID Vault enabled. The Domino server used for configuration does not have to be the user's mail server, but can be another Domino server within the same domain that is ID Vault enabled.
  8. If prompted to enter a server address, enter the DNS name for the server, for example, mail2.renovations.com.
  9. Provide the password for your Notes® ID and click Next. If you see a message stating that the ID file can't be found on the server, browse and select a local copy of the file that you copied to your device.
