Set up a roaming ID account

A roaming ID is a digital ID that is stored on a server and can be downloaded—at the subscriber’s request—to the roaming subscriber’s location. You must have a working Internet connection to access a roaming ID.

  1. Choose Document > Security Settings.
  2. Expand Digital IDs on the left, select Roaming ID Accounts, and click Add Account.
  3. Type the name and URL for the roaming ID server, and click Next.
  4. Type the user name and password you’ve been assigned or follow the directions to create a new account. Click Next, and then click Finish.
  5. If you don’t need to use your roaming ID, select it, and click Logout.

When you perform a task that uses your roaming ID, you’re automatically logged in to the roaming ID server if your authentication assertion hasn’t expired.
