On this page, you will learn how to edit email accounts in the RA-Portal.

You can edit email accounts individually. These changes only affect the RA-Portal.

To edit an email account, click the edit button (Bearbeiten) in front of the email account:

The options View, Edit, and Revoke Request Permission are displayed one after another in the same line.

You can edit the following information:

  • Display name (Anzeigename): A meaningful display name for the email account.
  • Requester email for the functional email address (E-Mail Antragsteller bei Funktional-Accouns): only relevant for functional accounts and should contaic an email address of a person, who should receive a challenge email for the functional account. 
  • Sender email (Absender E-Mail): This address is included in the certificate's subject and must correspond to the email address for which the user certificate is needed.
  • Aliases (Aliasse): Aliases should only be included if emails are actually sent from those email addresses.
    • You may enter up to 2 aliases. For personal mailboxes, the sender e-mail and all aliases receive challenges that must be confirmed. Without these confirmations, no certificate can be requested for the mailbox. Changing the aliases invalidates previously triggered challenge emails.
  • Comment (Kommentar): a free text field. You can sort the list of all email accounts by the Comment column:
