What is YKP Registration?
A central location for user information that is applied throughout YKP web sites
for authentication and access to entitled content areas.
What are the benefits of having an YKP Registration ID?
Your YKP Registration ID is your single point of access to YKP web applications.
You need just one YKP ID and one password to access any YKP Registration based application.
Additionally, your information is centralised so you can maintain it in a convenient
and secure location. The benefits of having an YKP Registration ID will increase
over time as more applications migrate to YKP Registration.
What are the rules for specifying an YKP ID?
Your YKP ID must have the format of a valid email address. It is uneditable and
- must be no longer than 80 characters.
- must contain an '@' character that separates the user and domain values (example:
someone@test.com).
- must be composed of at least two sub-domains separated by a '.' (example: http://www.ykpsystems.com).
- may contain numbers (0-9), upper and lower case letters (A-Z, a-z), hyphens (-),
underscore (_) and full stops (.), !, #, $, %, &, ', +, /, =, ?, [, ], ^, `,
{, |, } ~
- cannot contain any spaces, backslash (\), colon (:), double-quote ("), semicolon
(;), comma (,), less than (<) and the greater than (>) characters, parentheses("(",
")"), asterisks("*")
Why do I have to provide an email address as my YKP ID?
Soon all registered users will have to have an email address as an YKP ID so eventually
the separate email address field will become obsolete. From now on, newly registering
users must choose an email address as their YKP ID. For now, they must still submit
their email address contact information separately. Registered users can continue
to edit this email contact information, while the original email assigned as their
YKP ID remains uneditable. It does not matter if the email in your YKP ID and your
email address fields do not match.
Why can't I edit my YKP ID?
Your YKP ID is the unique identifier for your YKP profile, so as you update your
password-protected information, it always remains constant. Even if you edit your
email address, it won't affect the YKP ID you assigned to your profile.
What if I can't sign in with my current YKP ID?
If your YKP ID is over 32 characters or contains an "@" symbol, it may not give
you access to certain password-protected parts of http://www.ykpsystems.com. This is a known, temporary
condition, where a shorter, simpler YKP ID is required to access those areas properly.
If you haven't already created a secondary YKP ID, return to the area where you
had trouble signing in, and follow the 'Register' link from there to create one.
Your subsequent attempts to sign in with this new YKP ID should succeed. Your original
YKP ID and associated profile will be retained and will remain valid around http://www.ykpsystems.com.
What are the rules for specifying an YKP ID for those prompted to
register again?
- must be only single-byte characters
- must be at least 3 characters long
- must not be longer than 31 characters
- cannot contain any spaces
- can contain only numbers (0-9), upper and lower case letters (A-Z, a-z), hyphens
(-), underscore (_), and full stops (.)
What are the rules for specifying a password?
Passwords:
- must be only single-byte characters
- are case sensitive. When you log on you will have to enter your password exactly
as you enter it here
- must be at least 8 characters long
- must not be longer than 31 characters
- cannot contain any spaces, and can contain only numbers (0-9), upper and lower case
letters (A-Z, a-z), hyphens (-), underscore (_), full stops (.), and the @ character
