Activating your API Manager user account

Before you can access the API Manager user interface, you must activate the user account that your Cloud Manager administrator invited you to join.

1. Complete the following steps to create your API Manager account:

   If the Identity Provider uses LDAP

   An invitation email is sent. Click the link in the email to log in directly with your user credentials. No password is required.

   If the Identity Provider uses a local registry

   An invitation email and an activation email are sent. In the activation email, click the link or paste it in a browser. The activation link takes you to a page where you enter your first name, last name and password. The username is the email address. Passwords must have a minimum of 8 characters and contain characters from at least three of the four following categories:

   • Uppercase letters
   • Lowercase letters
   • Numbers
   • Special characters (for example: ! # $ %)

   If the Identity Provider uses an authentication URL

   An invitation email and an activation email are sent. In the activation email, click the link or paste it in a browser. The activation link takes you to a page where you enter your credentials, which then become your username and password.

2. Click Sign up.
   Your API Connect home page is displayed.
