SUMMARY

ILLiad has a built-in authentication system that will allow you to clear customers as they register with the system. Here is a scenario using this authentication scheme:

For the User

• A first time user would get to the ILLiad logon screen and click the First Time Users link.
• User will fill out the New User Registration form (NewUserRegistration.html) and submit it.
• User can then start immediately submitting requests.
  

For the Staff

• Several times a day, the staff user would select the Clear New Customers option from the Pre Processing menu in ILLiad. This will show a list of all newly registered users.
• After reviewing each one, they can click the Clear, Disavow, or Merge buttons. Each will send the user a note regarding their current ILLiad status. Disavow cancels all of their requests. Merge will allow you to merge two accounts together.

This is how ILLiad is configured to work upon completion of the installation. No changes are needed to the system to configure it for Basic ILLiad Authentication. All User information is stored in the ILLiad system.
