8.10.2 Registration

Registration is relatively simple. The buyer accesses the store's home page and is presented with the logon page (Figure 8-27). On first visit, the buyer should click Register User.

The registration page opens for entering identifying information. Figure 8-28 shows the top portion of this page.

The buyer then enters values in all fields that are marked as required. The key fields are User ID, Password, and e-mail address. The Buyer organization field is not marked as required but if it is left blank, the approval disappears, never to be found. This field must be filled appropriately!

The defined buyer organizations at this time are:

IBM

SWG

IGS

All Stores

Buyers for the Software Group must enter SWG/IBM in order for their registration approval to be directed to the appropriate approver.

Buyers for Global Services must enter IGS/IBM in order for their registration approval to be directed to the appropriate approver.

Buyers requesting access to both stores need only register at one of the stores, entering All Stores/IBM in the Buyer Organization field.

Any other entries in this field generate an error message.

After registration is complete, the buyer is returned to the logon page but cannot log on until registration has been approved. Otherwise, this message appears:

Your registration is pending approval. You are not authorized to log on at 
this time.
