Step 1 - Install CloudConnector and collect information
To connect to the customer’s Visma Lønn server over the internet, the CloudConnector software must first be installed. Please refer to this guide for installing CloudConnector on the customer’s Visma Lønn server:
https://cma.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016409374-Connecting-to-Visma-L%C3%B8nn
Note that there is a separate CloudConnector version for each version number of Visma Lønn, so make sure that the correct version is installed.
If the customer upgrades Visma Lønn (for example from version 16.1 to 17.0) then a new CloudConnector for version 17.0 must also be installed.
After completing the steps above you should have the following pieces of information ready:
CloudConnector key
Visma Lønn login (username and password)
Visma Lønn VAF SDK BAPI key
Exact ‘firmanavn’ for Visma Lønn clients to integrate with, as shown in Visma Lønn
It is recommended to ask the user to check that the username and password work correctly in Visma Lønn. If a one-time password is set, or the account is locked, this may cause problems in the next step.
Step 2 - Register information on Canvas
Find and manage the client account
In Canvas, go to the “Clients” tab:
Search for the customer’s Canvas account, and click “Manage” on the account you wish to use.
(If you do not see the customer’s Canvas account in the list of clients, please contact ConnectMyApps - the account may not have been added to your organization yet.)
Add the application
Especially if you are adding multiple apps, it is important to add the company name to the app title, to differentiate among the various apps. Otherwise you may end up choosing the wrong app later, when building your integration.
