User account creation for Lotus Foundations Start
From Nitix Knowledgebase
| "User account creation for Lotus Foundations Start" is included in Lotus Foundations Start Getting Started Guide. |
After installing Lotus Foundations Start, the next step is creating user accounts. These provide access to Lotus Domino email and business applications, including Lotus Notes, Domino Web Access (DWA), and Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook (DAMO).
Creating a user account
To create a user account in Lotus Foundations, perform the following steps:
- Select User Setup from the menu on the left side of any WebConfig screen.
- Click Add New User.
- Enter the ID that serves as the user's login and personal directory name. User IDs cannot contain spaces or any punctuation other than hyphens, periods, or underscores. For example, jane-doe, jane.doe, and jane_doe are all acceptable user IDs. With Lotus Foundations Start installed, this user ID becomes part of the user's email address. For example, if the user ID janedoe is created on a Lotus Foundations server that resides in the mycompany.com domain, Jane's email address is janedoe@mycompany.com. A user ID in Lotus Foundations Start cannot be modified, so be sure that the ID is spelled correctly.
- Enter the user's full name. This full name must be unique for each user when running Lotus Foundations Start.
- Enter a password for the user.
- Re-enter the password for the user to ensure that it was entered correctly. If the passwords do not match, you are asked to reenter the password in both fields.
- Click Save Changes. You are returned to the main User Setup page, and the user is displayed in the list.
Accessing email through a Web browser
When user accounts have been created, the users can log into Domino Web Access by entering the following URL into a Web browser:
http://DOMAIN_NAME/email
A DWA login page is displayed, where you provide a user ID and password. When this information is provided, DWA directs you to the corresponding .nsf file for that user ID and password.
