Perform the steps in this procedure to add a IBM
SmartCloud® Notes® subscription
to a user account. Adding a subscription is also referred to as provisioning.
About this task
If you want to add subscriptions for many users at once,
you can instead use provisioning change files and the Connections Cloud integration
server.
Note: In the
Account Login section
described in this procedure, if you do not provide a distinguished
name when you create an account, a system-generated one is created.
It is recommended that you allow the system to create this name for
you. Doing so ensures that the formula is applied correctly. Note,
however, that when the system generates the distinguished name, it
does not display in the
Distinguished Name field.
The distinguished name for each user must be unique. If the system-generated
name is already in use, then you are prompted to create one manually.
To determine the text to add to the user's name to form the
Distinguished
Name, complete the task
Forming a distinguished
name.
