Request a User Account

[ Dorian: Administrators Guide | Developers Guide | Users Guide | caGrid: Documentation Guides ]

It is anticipated that most users will use their existing locally provided credentials for obtaining grid credentials and only users that are un-affiliated with an existing credential provider should register directly with Dorian. The Dorian Identity Provider (DorianIdP) gives developers, smaller groups, research labs, unaffiliated users, and other groups that don't have their own IdP, the ability to leverage Dorian. The DorianIdP provides a method for prospective users to register for an account. To request a user account please complete the following steps:

1. Launch the GAARDS UI
2. From the top menu bar in the GAARDS UI select Account Management => Local Accounts => Registration.
3. From the Service drop down, select or enter the service URL of the Dorian you wish to register with.
4. Specify a username and password; this will be the username and password that you use to authenticate with the Dorian IdP.
   1. NOTE: The password must contain at least 10 and at most 20 characters, as well as contain at least one capital letter, one number, one non-alphanumeric symbol, and not contain any dictionary words.
5. Finally enter your personal information and click the Apply button.

In most case your account will be immediately approved and you should be able to create grid credentials.
