You can create your own user account when the administrator
enables the Allow new users to create their own accounts option.
Use this task to create a user account from the login screen.
Procedure
- Access the WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance login
screen.
- Click the Register... button to
begin creating a user account.
- Enter a login ID in the User Name field. The value 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 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. See Managing IBM WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance email delivery for more information.
- Click the Register button to complete the registration
process.
Results
After you have successfully completed these steps, you registered

user interface.

permissions only.
