A new page opens asking for your username and password: if you are not registered yet click on the link below "You are not a user, please register": a new window opens, and fill in all the fields. In case of difficulty, contact the secretariat of the RDPLF whose contact details are available at the address https://bdd.rdplf.org/index.php/bdd/about/contact, or click on the menu About/contact. At the end of the registration the user will receive a confirmation email.
    Registration is only done once during the first use. At each subsequent connection, simply click on "connect" and, to identify yourself, enter the username and password and click on the "Log In" button to enter the system.
