- [ templates/user-template.txt ] [ Version U1.2 3/94 ]
-
- This file contains information for individual users and for Host Administrators
- (HAs) who want to register their users in the WHOIS database maintained by the
- DDN Network Information Center (DDN NIC) on the host NIC.DDN.MIL (192.112.36.5).
- The user registration template below has been created to standardize the
- registration procedure and help ensure that the DDN NIC will receive complete
- information about each user in a format that can be processed quickly and
- reliably by the registration software. You may retrieve the file from the
- NIC via FTP. Simply log on with username "anonymous" and password "guest".
- Then change to the templates directory and request the file by executing a
- getfile procedure for filename user-template.txt at the prompt.
-
- FOR MILITARY USERS ONLY:
- It is important to note that ALL Host Administrators who will be authorizing
- users for TAC access MUST be registered in the NIC database and be shown as
- HA or alternate POC on the appropriate host record. MILNET gateway
- administrators should ensure that their subhosts and subhost HAs are
- registered and that the subhost HAs have been authorized to request TAC cards
- before they submit user registrations to the NIC registrar for processing!
-
- The file contains five sections, as follows:
-
- A. General Instructions
- B. Instructions for Individual Field Entries
- C. Instructions for Submitting Registration Data
- D. Sample Template
- E. Blank Template (Use for Submission)
-
- Section A below provides general instructions for filling out the user
- templates. Acceptable formats and instructions for individual field
- entries follow in Section B. PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
-
-
- HOW TO FILL IN THE USER REGISTRATION TEMPLATE
-
- A. General Instructions
-
- NOTE: UPDATEs and DELETEs *always* require the entry of a NIC handle and
- Last Name.
-
- 1. To ADD a new user record to the database, fill out all required fields
- except for the handle, line U1. Required fields are marked with a
- plus (+). Include in the non-required fields any additional information
- that is applicable to the new user.
-
- 2. To MODIFY or UPDATE the record of an existing user, enter the
- appropriate NIC handle and include data for the fields that
- need to be changed. Enter "NONE" in any non-required field to
- erase previous data.
-
- U3A through U3D are grouped fields. Each of these fields are processed as
- a whole. A change to any one field within the group requires entries of
- all fields for the group. (i.e., entry in any field causes all fields in
- the group to be updated from the template.)
-
- 3. To DELETE a user record from the database, enter the NIC handle (U1),
- enter the name information (U2A and U2B), and enter "Y" in the "Delete
- User?" field (U5A).
-
- 4. City, State, and Zip code information must be supplied for all
- United States addresses. If the address is an APO or FPO address,
- use the City field to specify the letters "APO" or "FPO" and use the
- State field to enter the APO/FPO two-letter code.
-
- 5. Please note that NO USER is allowed more that one record in the NIC
- database. Each user should be registered only on his/her primary or
- "home" host.
-
-
- B. Instructions for Individual Field Entries
-
- + U1. NIC Handle (See A2,3)......:
-
- Required only for UPDATEs and DELETEs. DO NOT include a handle when you
- are registering a new user. The NIC registration software automatically
- generates a handle for all user records that are newly added to the database.
- Example: RM64 (handle for NIC.DDN.MIL user)
-
- NAME INFORMATION
- + U2A. Last Name..................:
- + U2B. First Name.................:
- U2C. Middle Name or Initial.....:
- U2D. Name Suffix................:
- U2E. Title/Rank.................:
-
- Both first and last names are required. We strongly suggest including a
- middle name or initial, as that helps to eliminate duplication of names
- in the database. Suffix line should include identifiers such as Jr., Sr.,
- II, III, etc. A title or rank may be included.
-

- + U3G. Zip Code (See A.4).........:
- U3H. Country....................:
- U3I. Network Mailbox............:
- + U3J. Hostname...................:
-
- Required. At least one line of address information is required. This
- address should be the U.S. postal mailing address for any correspondence
- directed to you. TAC users, in particular, should include an accurate
- address, as addresses for mailing TAC cards are generated directly from
- your template input. Enter as many lines as necessary, up to a maximum
- of four.
-
- Enter the city and the standard two-letter state abbreviation if your
- host is located in the United States.
-
- If you have an APO/FPO address, enter only the two-letter APO/FPO
- code in line U3F (i.e., AE for New York, AP for California, AA for
- Florida).
-
- The zip code entry is REQUIRED for APO/FPO and U.S. mailing addresses.
- Please supply a nine-digit zip code for APO/FPO addresses; you may enter
- either a five or nine-digit zip for other U.S. addresses.
-
- U3H. Country....................:
- If you have an APO/FPO address, enter US for country. If not, enter
- the country only if it is OCONUS and must appear in your mailing address.
-
- U3I. Network Mailbox............:
- Enter the Fully Qualified Domain Name (full hostname). Separate the
- username and hostname parts of the mailbox by "@". Otherwise, follow
- the syntax required for routing mail to your network.
-
- + U3J. Hostname...................:
-
- This is the name of the user's "home" host. The "home" host is
- the host that provides the user access to the MILNET. If the
- user has TAC access then it is the name of the host that has
- authorized the TAC access. If the user does not have TAC access
- then it is the name of the e-mail host. The host administrator
- of the "home" host will be required to verify this information
- during periodic re-registration. Therefore the "home" host must
- be registered in the NIC database. Enter the name of the host
- as it appears in the NIC database, do not enter a nickname or a
- numeric address.

-

- on receipt. User registrations will be processed within eight working days
- of receipt if all data is properly formatted and there are no problems with
- the information you have supplied.
-
- If you do not have access to electronic mail facilities, you may submit
- hardcopy applications to the following address:
-
- Network Information Center
- 14200 Park Meadow Drive
- ATTN: Registrar, Suite 200
- Chantilly, VA 22021
-
- Because hardcopy registrations require manual input, this method of
- transmission is strongly discouraged!
