Lotus Notes user authentication is carried out using a special DLL, which has been copied into the Lotus Notes directory. During replicator configuration, the nextpwd.dll is copied into the Lotus Notes directory. The user setting up the replicator is authorized to write into the Lotus Notes installation directory. The DLL is copied automatically and without any user action. If there are any problems accessing Lotus Notes, please check whether nextpwd.dll was copied.

No special authorization is required for replicating Lotus Notes. However, the Lotus Notes user must have access privileges for the data to be replicated.
