Creating an User Account on Web Space Server

Any user who can accesses the HTTP instance of Web Space Server can create a user account. You can sign in by selecting Sign In from the Welcome menu. If you are an existing user, sign in by using your user name and password. To create a new account click on the Create Account link and follow the instructions to create an account. When you add an user account, the user is added to the list of Users in the Enterprise Admin Portlet. The admin user can monitor all the user accounts.

Also, you can log in to Web Space Server by using an OpenID. You can get an OpenID from any of the popular OpenID providers such as claimID, myOpenID, VeriSign's Personal Identity Provider, myID.net, and myVidoop. For more information, see http://openid.net/.

When you create an OpenID with a OpenID provider such as myOpenID, a message is sent to the email address that you provide. Your OpenID will be authenticated when you respond to the message. You can use the OpenID to log in to any of the web sites that support OpenIDs.
