Advanced registration offers all the settings included in Basic registration and also allows you to change default settings and apply advanced settings to users.

Before you begin

Make sure you have the following access before you begin registration:

• Access to the certifier ID and its password, if you are not using the Domino® server-based certification authority (CA).
• Access to the Domino Directory from the computer you work on.
• Editor access or Author access with Create Documents role and the UserCreator privilege in the Domino Directory on the registration server.
• Create new databases access on the mail server if you plan to create user mail files during registration.
• Create explicit policies and settings documents if you plan to use policy-based system administration.
• Access to the certification log (CERTLOG.NSF) on the registration server.

You can modify user settings at any time once you add the user to the User Registration Queue by selecting the user from the queue and then making changes. You can also modify certain settings for multiple users at once by selecting the users in the queue and making changes. You can cancel user registration and clear all fields at any time by clicking the red X.

Keep the following information in mind when selecting user registration options:

• Storing user IDs in the Notes® ID vault – The user registration interface contains the setting In Notes ID vault on the ID Info tab. This setting is not modifiable in the user registration interface. If a user's effective policy has a Security policy settings document that assigns the user to a vault, the In Notes ID vault value is selected. If the server you are using is a pre-Domino 8.5 server, the field label changes to ID vault not supported for this version of Domino.
• Hosted environments – If you are working in a hosted environment, when registering users, ensure that you are using a certifier that was created for the hosted organization into which you are registering the users. This applies regardless of whether you are using a certifier and password or the server-based CA.
• Roaming users – If you are registering Domino server roaming users, on the ID Info tab of the Register Person - New Entry dialog box, choose In Domino Directory as the location for storing user IDs if you want roaming users to access their Notes IDs from their Contacts application. If you do not choose the In Domino Directory option, roaming users must either store their Notes ID on a file server or physically carry their Notes ID with them on a diskette or other storage media. If you elect to store the user ID in a file and in the Domino Directory, the user IDs are stored in the user's Contacts application.

  Note: If you create Domino server-based roaming users and do not elect to store their user IDs in the Domino Directory, but later decide to store those user IDs in the Domino Directory, disable the roaming user option, select the option to store the user ID in the Domino Directory, and then enable the roaming user option again.

Password options	Click Password options to set a level for the password in the Password Quality Scale. The default level is 8. For more information, see The password quality scale in the related links. Choose the password encryption strength (or password key width). The encryption key that protects the Notes keys that are stored in the user ID file is derived from the password. The stronger the encryption strength of the password, the stronger the encryption key that protects the Notes keys. Base strength on RSA key size - encryption strength is determined by the size of the RSA key stored in the ID file. If the RSA key size is less than 1024 bits, the password encryption strength is 64 bits; if RSA key size is 1024 or greater, the password key size is 128 bits. Compatible with all releases (64 bits) Compatible with 6.0 and later (128 bits) Enable the check box Set Internet password to give Internet users name and password access to a Domino server and to set an Internet password in the Person document.
