Create user accounts

WARNING
This section applies to the “Internal PKI” usage mode only.

There are two ways to create user accounts on the portal. You can use the Stormshield Data Management Center public API (SDMC) to create your own user accounts. Or each user can create their own account by going to the portal.

The SDMC public API allows you to create a list of predefined users:

  • Use the route https://sds.stormshieldcs.eu/doc/api/#operation/createUsers to enter the email address of the users. Each user will then receive an email asking them to activate their account on the portal. If the email is not in their inbox, they should check their junk mail. The confirmation link expires after 48 hours.

Inform your users of the following procedure:

  1. Go to SDS Encryption Portal and click on Create account.
  2. Enter your first and last names and work e-mail address, then accept the conditions of use and click on Next.
  3. In the Password window, enter and confirm your password, which must meet the given criteria, then click on Next.
  4. You will receive an e-mail at the e-mail address that you have specified. Check your mailbox to confirm your email address and activate your SDS Enterprise account. If you do not see such an e-mail in your inbox, check your spam folder. The confirmation link expires within 48 hours, but you can always request a new one from your administrator if necessary.
  1. Once you have created your account, log in to SDS Encryption Portal. You must log in at least once so that other users can share protected files with you.
