Sorry for the delayed response..

Our AIM* historian is 95HIS1 (which hosts hist01)

Our OPC server is AUMOBPM04 which is off platform -> has AIM OPC installed
with HDA and as a service.

In the API Admin tool on 95HIS1 -> we have created a user called AUMOBPM04
and assigned it the rights to OPCHDA

I have not actually tested historical data as we use uniformance for our
corporate historian -> hence it only has to collect real time data...
