User authentication is performed on HCL Notes via a special DLL copied to the HCL Notes directory. When the replicator is configured, the nextpwd.dll is copied to the HCL Notes directory. Therefore, the user setting up the replicator must have write permissions in the HCL Notes installation directory. The DLL is copied automatically, no user intervention is required. If there are problems accessing HCL Notes, check if the nextpwd.dll has been copied.
No special rights are required to replicate HCL Notes. The HCL Notes user must have access rights to the data assets to be replicated.
