You can register yourself through Sign Up in the ADSS Web RA from User's Portal (The Sign up button will appear only if it is configured in the settings) on your own by filling a simple form and submitting it. On registration you will receive an activation email containing a link to activate the account. You will need to provide a password, security question and answer to activate your account. Once activated, you will be able to login and use the system to create certificate requests.

This way, you will receive an invitation email with a link to login and you can accept or decline that invitation from enterprise section. If you accept the invitation you will become part of the enterprise. If you are accepting invitation for the first time and you don't have a prior account then you will also need to complete the registration form and activation of your account.
