3. Edit the user information.

   Change the ID and password as needed. To change the password, select the Change password check box. This check box is unavailable if you are not allowed to set passwords. Whether you can set passwords depends on a setting in the User management property file. For details about the User management property file, see the JP1/Service Support Configuration and Administration Guide.

   Specify from 1 to 64 half-width characters in the ID field. When using the authentication functionality of JP1/Base, you can enter from 1 to 31 lower-case half-width alphanumeric characters.

   In the Name field, you can enter from 1 to 255 half-width alphanumeric characters or from 1 to 85 full-width characters.

   In the Password and Re-enter password fields, specify from 1 to 64 half-width alphanumeric characters, spaces, and symbols. When using the authentication functionality of JP1/Base, you can enter from 6 to 32 half-width alphanumeric characters, and half-width symbols except for \, ", :, spaces, and tab characters.

   In the English name, Title, Title level, Email address, Phone number, and Phone number 2 fields, you can specify a maximum of 255 half-width alphanumeric characters or approximately 85 full-width characters. In the Organization and Comment fields, you can enter a maximum of 512 half-width alphanumeric characters or approximately 170 full-width characters.

   In the Email address field, you can specify any characters in the ASCII character set. However, the following conditions apply:

   • The address cannot contain control characters (0x00 to 0x1F and 0x7F).

   • The address must contain only one at sign (@).

   • There must be characters before and after the at sign (@).

   • The address cannot begin or end with a period (.).

   • The address cannot include parentheses (( )), angle brackets (< >), square brackets ([ ]), colons (:), semicolons (;), backslashes (\), commas (,), or half-width spaces (0x20).

4. From the menu, select Register.

   The user information is registered and you are returned to the User management window. When you edit user information, the changes take effect when you next edit an Item.

Notes:

• If you are using an LDAP server for authentication, passwords are managed by the LDAP server and attempting to change the password in JP1/Service Support will have no effect. You must prevent users from changing passwords in JP1/Service Support if you are using an LDAP server for authentication. Whether users can change passwords depends on a setting in the User management property file. For details about the User management property file, see the JP1/Service Support Configuration and Administration Guide.

• You cannot link to certain JP1 products without using the authentication features provided by JP1/Base. In this scenario, how user information and passwords are managed depends on the authentication method used with JP1/Service Support. If you disable password changes in the User management property file, you can still change the password for the user set as the information-search user ID in the property file for JP1 product cooperation.

  For details about changing user information and passwords and on the User management property file and the property file for JP1 product cooperation, see the JP1/Service Support Configuration and Administration Guide.
