12 Working with additional identities

MyID allows you to set up additional identities from your LDAP on a user account. These additional identities allow you to add extra certificates to smart cards.

For example, you may require a certificate belonging to a separate user account that is used for server administration, which therefore has different logon credentials from your main employee account.

The MyID Operator Client allows you to work with additional identities in the following ways:

• You can create an additional identity manually, providing all the details without importing the record from a directory.

  See section 12.1, Creating an additional identity.

• You can edit an additional identity that you have created manually.

  See section 12.2, Editing an additional identity.

• You can import an additional identity from a directory.

  See section 12.3, Importing an additional identity.

• You can remove an additional identity.

  See section 12.4, Removing an additional identity.

• You can view the certificates associated with an additional identity.

  See section 13.1.4, View an additional identity's certificates.

For information about configuring your system for additional identities, see the Additional identities section in the Administration Guide.
