Registering with the Dorian Identity Provider

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

The Dorian Identity Provider allows any user to register for an account. Whether or not the account is immediately approved depends on the policy of the party(s) operating Dorian. For example, some instances of Dorian may not require any identity vetting (e-authentication level of assurance (1)), in which case the account can be automatically approved. For many instances of Dorian, strict identity vetting (e-authentication level of assurance (2)) is required, therefore the account cannot be approved until the user's identity has been vetted.

The GAARDS UI enables users to register for an account with Dorian Identity Provider. To register for an account with Dorian Identity Provider, complete the following steps:

Request a Grid Account

To request a user account:

Launch the GAARDS UI.
From the upper menu bar in the GAARDS UI, select => User ManagementLocal Account => Registration.
From the Service drop-down menu, select the Dorian you wish to register with.
Specify a username and password. This will be the username and password used to authenticate with the Dorian IdP.
NOTE: The password must 1.) contain at least 10 and less than 20 characters, 2.) include at least one capital letter, one number, and one non-alphanumeric symbol, and 3.) exclude any dictionary words.
Finally enter your personal information and click the Apply button.

After Dorian has completed processing the registration, a message will be displayed to the user specifying whether or not the account was immediately approved (depends on policy). If the account was immediately approved you may login to Dorian to obtain a PKI credential.
