Set up X.509 Certificate Service. Go to the ODS home page (local or remote) and register new user (or log in as existing ODS user):

Post registration you end up with an ODS generated Person Entity Identifier (an HTTP URI that Identifies "You") that takes the form: http://cname/dataspace/person/user-name#this
