Before you begin
About this task
Complete this task to connect a Notes client
to an on-premises community as the primary community and the cloud community as a secondary
community. You might use this option to allow just some users to try the cloud instant messaging
community, rather than enabling the cloud community for all users. This setup allows a user to
switch between communities. Note the following requirements:
- The on-premises community must be configured as the primary community.
- The on-premises IBM Sametime® server must be configured to support IBM Sametime Standard clients. Your company must purchase the Sametime Standard license separately, as the cloud entitlement supports IBM Sametime Entry only.
Also complete this task to manually configure a Notes 8.5.1 FixPack 5 client to connect to the cloud instant messaging community. Only Notes 8.5.2 or later clients can connect to the cloud community automatically.
This procedure describes how to connect using the standard service login name and password created through the user account in the cloud. To connect using your organization login (federated SAML authentication), see the chat user help or the topic Creating an installation package that connects rich clients to the cloud community using SAML authentication.
