Creating a User ID for Department of State Web Applications

Each user will have a single userID and password that is managed through Microsoft’s

Live-ID service. Access to individual applications will be granted or denied based on a

process that will activate that userID as authorized for the particular application or

function. While the final solution may provide for other login providers, the Department

will initially be using the Windows Live ID for this purpose.

If you already have a Live-ID that you can use for this business purpose, there is no

need to get another one.

Creating a Windows Live ID

The Windows Live ID for this purpose may be associated with your official business

email address. If available, an individual business email address, instead of a generic

address is preferred. For example: jane@somecountysoe.org instead of

supervisor@somecountysoe.org . Alternatively you may use a unique ID generated by

Live-ID such as yourn[email protected]m which will only be used as a Live-ID login, not

an email address.

During this process you will:

 Associate your email address with Windows Live ID at http://passport.net/, or

request a passport login,

 Assign a password to that Live ID (independent of the email password)

Step by Step procedure

This procedure will walk you through the process of creating your Windows Live

ID. Be sure to provide your designated contact at the Department of State with

the email address that you should receive the Registration Invitation at.
