Field Action

Registration Domain Select a domain from the list. The registration domain is the domain into which users and servers are registered.

Create Notes IDs for new users Click to create a Notes ID for each new user during the registration process.

Certifier name list Choose a certifier ID to use when creating the user name during user registration when a Notes user ID is not being created for the user.
This field appears if the check box "Create a Notes ID for this person" is not selected.
If you are working in a hosted environment and are registering a user to a hosted organization, be sure to register that user with a certifier created for that hosted organization.

Certifier ID Do one:

Choose "Certifier ID" to use the certifier ID and password. Then click Certifier ID, select the certifier ID file, and click OK to select the certifier ID used to register new certifiers, servers, and users.
Choose "Use CA Process" to use the Domino server-based certification authority.

Registration Server Click Registration Server to change the registration server, which is the server that initially stores the Person document until the Domino Directory replicates. Select the server that registers all new users, and then click OK. If you do not explicitly define a registration server, it is, by default:

The local server if it contains a Domino Directory
The server specified in NewUserServer setting in the NOTES.INI file
The administration server

Explicit policy If you already created explicit policies, select the policy from the list. If you have not created explicit policies, this field displays "None Available."

User Setup Profile Select a profile. The default is none. You can assign either a policy or a user setup profile, but you cannot assign both to the same users.

Mail Options Click Mail Options to display the Mail Registration Options dialog box.
Choose one of the following and complete any required associated fields:

Lotus Notes (default) -- The Internet address is automatically generated.
Other Internet -- The Internet password is set by default during registration. Enter a forwarding e-mail address.
POP -- The Internet address is automatically generated during registration, and the Internet password is set by default during registration.
IMAP -- The Internet address is automatically generated during registration, and the Internet password is set by default during registration.
Domino Web Access -- When you choose this option, you are prompted as to whether you want to set additional Domino Web Access settings.
Other -- Enter a forwarding e-mail address.
None
Note If you select Other or Other Internet, you will need to enter a forwarding address for the user during user registration. The forwarding address is the e-mail address to which the user wants their mail sent.

User ID/Password Options Click User ID/Password Options Settings to open the Person ID File Settings dialog box. Do any of these:

Person ID folder -- Choose a folder or enter a directory path in which to store the ID files generated for this user during registration.
Person password quality -- Set a new password quality for the ID files that are generated for this user during registration. The default for a user ID is 8.
Public key specification -- The public key specification that you use impacts when key rollover is triggered. Key rollover is the process used to update the set of Notes public and private keys that is stored in user and server ID files. Choose one: Compatible with all releases (630 bits), Compatible with Release 6 and later (1024 bits).
Note For information about the significance of the public key specification and key rollover, see the topic User and server key rollover.

License type -- Choose either North American (default) or International. In practice, there is no difference between a North American and an International ID type.

Advanced Options Click Advanced Options to open the Advanced Person Registration Options dialog box on which you can specify the following:

Whether to keep registered users in the registration queue
Whether to attempt to register users with an error status from a previous registration attempt
Whether to prompt for duplicate files
Whether to search all directories for duplicate names
Other registration settings
