  1. Sign in to the management console ( https://<HostName>:9443/carbon ) as tenant admin.

  2. Go to the Resources > Browse menu.

  3. Navigate to the /_system/governance/apimgt/applicationdata/ directory.

  4. Click on sign-up-config.xml to load the resource in the registry browser UI and select the Edit as text option to edit the configurations.

    <EnableSignup>true</EnableSignup>

    <!-- user storage to store users -->
    <SignUpDomain>PRIMARY</SignUpDomain>

    <!-- Tenant admin information. (for clustered setup credentials for AuthManager) -->
    <AdminUserName>xxxx</AdminUserName>
    <AdminPassword>xxxx</AdminPassword>

    <!-- List of roles for the tenant user -->
    <SignUpRoles>
