ID group name

Set the name of the ID group. For details about the conventions for ID group names, see 5.2.2 Assigning group names.

Password

Set the password a user must enter to register a managed computer in the ID group, using no more than 14 single-byte alphanumeric characters. You do not need to specify a password. If you enter a password, it is displayed as asterisks (*) in the window.

Specify ID-management Relay Computer

Specify an ID-management relay computer. You can specify multiple hosts as the ID-management relay computers.

The System configuration area displays the relay systems and management relay servers that are some of the hosts displayed in the System Configuration window. To add a host as an ID-management relay computer, select it in the System configuration area and then click the > button. You can select multiple hosts in the System Configuration area.

By clicking the ALL> button, you can set all relay systems and management relay servers as ID-management relay computers at the same time.
After entering the appropriate settings, click Add.

The ID group is created.

When you attempt to add an ID-management relay computer, the process might fail with an ID group remaining in now being registered status. If this occurs, remove the cause of the problem and then try again.

You can forcibly delete an ID-management relay computer that is in now being registered status by clicking Delete ID Group.

Click Exit.

The Create ID Group dialog box closes.

You can check the ID group you defined in the Destination window. To display the relay systems or management relay servers managing a particular ID group, click the ID-management Relay Computer tab in the right pane of the Destination window.
