Join a TeamForge site

To collaborate with others on a CollabNet TeamForge site, start by getting a user account.

Note: You need a license to use a TeamForge site. Your site administrator may have already assigned you a license. If not, you'll be asked to choose the type of license you need when you create your account.

An ALM license enables you to use the full set of tools on the site, including Source Code, Trackers, Documents, Tasks and Reports.
An SCM license enables you to use the site for basic source code management. You can browse repositories and participate in Wiki conversations.

If your site authenticates through LDAP, follow these steps. If your site does not authenticate through LDAP, skip to the next set of steps.
1. In the Log Into CollabNet TeamForge section of the site home page, enter your corporate LDAP user name and password.
  Tip: In most cases, your user name and password are the user name and password with which you log in to your corporate network.
2. Click Log In.
3. On the Create Account page, re-enter your LDAP password.
4. Enter your full name and email address and click Create.
If your site does not authenticate through LDAP, follow these steps.
1. Click Create an Account in the New Users section of the TeamForge home page.
