Registering a new user using an explicit policy

Registering a new user using an explicit policy

Registering a New User Using an Explicit Policy: An additional setup step is required in order to implement an explicit policy. With this type of policy you must update the Person document in addition to the creation of the Policy and Settings documents. This section illustrates how to go about applying an explicit policy when registering a new user.

Reminder: You will need to have the appropriate roles assigned to your Lotus Notes ID in order to proceed with these steps. Start by completing the instructions outlined in the section titled, "Creating Policy Documents."

When creating the policy document, be sure to select "Explicit" as the policy type. Once this is complete, continue with these instructions:

Step 1. Launch the Domino Administrator client.

Step 2. Navigate to the People & Groups tab.

Step 3. Select the People view.

Step 4. Locate the People navigation pane along the right side of the Domino Administrator client and select the Register action (Figure 17).


Figure 17. The Register action is used to register users in the Domino Directory.

Step 5. Complete the registration form as normal, paying careful attention to select the appropriate explicit policy from the list box (Figure 18).

Step 6. Click the Register button to complete the task.
