Creating an Account
|
|
###################
|
|
|
|
If you want to use a particular installation of Bugzilla, first you need to
|
|
create an account. Ask the administrator responsible for your installation
|
|
for the URL you should use to access it. If you're test-driving Bugzilla,
|
|
you can use one of the installations on
|
|
`Landfill <http://landfill.bugzilla.org/>`_.
|
|
|
|
The process of creating an account is similar to many other websites.
|
|
|
|
#. On the home page, click the :guilabel:`New Account` link in the header.
|
|
Enter your email address, then click the ``Send``
|
|
button.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: If the :guilabel:`New Account` link is not available, this means that the
|
|
administrator of the installation has disabled self-registration.
|
|
Speak to the administrator to find out how to get an account.
|
|
|
|
#. Within moments, you should
|
|
receive an email to the address you provided, which contains your
|
|
login name (generally the same as the email address), and a URL to
|
|
click to confirm your registration.
|
|
|
|
#. Once you confirm your registration, Bugzilla will ask you your real name
|
|
(optional, but recommended) and ask you to choose a password. Depending
|
|
on how your Bugzilla is configured, there may be minimum complexity
|
|
requirements for the password.
|
|
|
|
#. Now all you need to do is to click the :guilabel:`Log In`
|
|
link in the header or footer,
|
|
enter your email address and the password you just chose into the
|
|
login form, and click the :guilabel:`Log in` button.
|
|
|
|
You are now logged in. Bugzilla uses cookies to remember you are
|
|
logged in so, unless you have cookies disabled or your IP address changes,
|
|
you should not have to log in again during your session.
