The administrator can enable the Allow new users
to create their own accounts option. If this option is
enabled, new users to the user interface can create their own user
account.
About this task
If the administrator enabled the self-registration option,
new users can create their own account on the login screen. After the
user registers the new account, they have appliance monitoring permission
by default. The administrator must assign any additional permissions.
Procedure
- Access the WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance login screen.
- Click Register... to begin creating
a user account.
- Enter a login ID in the User Name field. The value that is entered for this field is used
as both the user name and the display name for the user. The value
for this field can be up to 64 characters in length. All alphanumeric
characters can be used. The following special characters are also
available: @#%^*&-+= !
- Enter a password for the user in the Password field. The password can use the same characters available
for the User Name field. The Password field is required if a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) or LDAP
server is not defined. If SMTP is enabled, you can choose to enter
a password or to leave the field blank and have a generated password
sent to your email address. If LDAP is used to authenticate users,
the existing LDAP password is used and you do not need to enter a
password.
- Reenter the same password for the user in the Verify Password field. The value that you
enter for this field must be identical to the value entered for the Password field. If these fields do not match, then an
error is displayed when you click Register and
must be resolved before the user can be created.
- Enter an email address in the Email address field. The email address is required when a Simple
Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server is used. For more information,
see Managing IBM WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance email delivery.
- Click Register to complete the registration
process.
Results
You registered a user account that you can use to log in to
the
user interface. You are assigned appliance monitoring permissions by default.
