1) Receive the Registration Completion Notice by email and confirm the user number.
2) Request for the procedure to start the service from the user portal
3) Open the one-time URL which is sent to your registered email address
and download the Approval Notice and set the password.
4) After that, you can log in to the user portal by the password authentication.
(Continuously, please set the public key authentication, etc.)
If you are already using our service, you can continue to use it without affected by the change,
but we will not mail the Approval Notice when you apply for the additional applications
for this fiscal year or continuation applications for the next fiscal year.
