Sign up for Citrix Cloud Japan

This article walks you through the process of signing up for Citrix Cloud Japan and performing the required tasks for onboarding your account successfully.

What is an OrgID?

An OrgID is the unique identifier assigned to your Citrix Cloud Japan account. Your OrgID is associated with a physical site address, typically your company’s business address. So, organizations usually have a single OrgID. However, in some cases, such as having different branch offices or having different departments managing their assets separately, Citrix may allow an organization to have multiple OrgIDs.

What is a Citrix Cloud Japan account?

A Citrix Cloud Japan account enables you to use one or more Citrix Cloud services to securely deliver your apps and data. A Citrix Cloud Japan account is also uniquely identified by an OrgID. It’s important to use the right Citrix Cloud Japan account, based on how your organization has set up OrgIDs, so that your purchases and administrator access can continue on the same OrgIDs.

Multifactor authentication requirements

To keep your account safe and secure, Citrix Cloud Japan requires all customers to enroll in multifactor authentication. To enroll, you need only a device, such as a computer or mobile device, with an authenticator app installed, such as Citrix SSO.

If you’re an existing Citrix customer, Citrix Cloud Japan prompts you to enroll when you visit the sign-up page and enter the credentials associated with your Citrix.com account. If you’re new to Citrix, Citrix Cloud Japan prompts you to enroll after you create a Citrix account during the sign-up process.

Visit the sign-up page

Visit https://onboarding.citrixcloud.jp/ and complete the sign up form.

Citrix Cloud Japan uses your business email address as your user name when signing in. The business email address you specify must meet the following requirements:

• The email address must be different than others you might have already used with any other Citrix Cloud account, including Citrix Cloud Japan. For example, if you’re an administrator on a Citrix Cloud account (citrix.cloud.com), Citrix Cloud has a record of that email address. If you sign up for Citrix Cloud Japan with that same email address, Citrix Cloud Japan does not accept it.
• The email address must be different than others you might have already used with Citrix Cloud Japan. For example, if you have accepted an invitation to be an administrator on a Citrix Cloud Japan account, Citrix Cloud Japan has a record of that email address. If you sign up with that same email address, Citrix Cloud Japan does not accept it.
• The email address cannot use the citrix.com domain. Citrix Cloud Japan does not accept email addresses with the citrix.com domain.

Enroll in multifactor authentication

To keep your administrator account safe and secure, Citrix Cloud Japan requires you to use multifactor authentication when you sign in. Enrolling in multifactor authentication prevents unauthorized access to your administrator account and only requires a device, such as a computer or mobile device, with an authenticator app installed that follows the Time-Based One-Time Password standard, such as Citrix SSO.

If you’re not enrolled in multifactor authentication, Citrix Cloud Japan prompts you to enroll when you sign in.

During enrollment, Citrix Cloud Japan presents a QR code and a key. Depending on your authenticator app, you can either scan the QR code or enter the key to register your device. For a smooth enrollment process, Citrix recommends downloading and installing this app on your device beforehand. Citrix Cloud Japan also generates one-time use backup codes that you can use to access your account in the event you lose your device or can’t use your authenticator app.

Notes:

• Only administrators under the Citrix identity provider can enroll in multifactor authentication through Citrix Cloud Japan. If you use Azure AD to manage Citrix Cloud Japan administrators, you can configure multifactor authentication using the Azure portal. For more information, see Configure Azure Multi-Factor Authentication settings on the Microsoft web site.
• After you enroll, multifactor authentication is used for all customer organizations that you belong to in Citrix Cloud Japan. You can’t disable multifactor authentication after completing the enrollment process.
• You can enroll only one device. If you enroll a different device later, Citrix Cloud Japan deletes the current device enrollment and replaces it with the new device. For more information, see Manage your primary MFA method.
