5.4 Configuring the Delete Account Module

You can configure Self Service Password Reset to allow users to delete their own accounts. By default, Self Service Password Reset does not enable this module. If you enable the Delete Account module, the user web page displays a new tile of Delete My Account. When a user clicks the tile, Self Service Password Reset walks the users through the deleting their accounts.

To enable and configure the Delete Account module:

  1. Log in to Self Service Password Reset at https://dns-name/sspr as an administrator.

  2. In the toolbar, click your name.

  3. Click Configuration Editor.

  4. Click Modules > Authenticated > Delete Account > Profiles.

  5. Configure the default profile for the Delete Account module with the following information.

    Delete Account Profile Match

    Specify a query to search for the users that you want to be able to delete their own accounts. You can query by using Add Filter to define the LDAP filter that includes the object class, and by using Add Group that includes the LDAP group.

    Delete Account Agreement

    Specify a message to display to the users before allowing them to delete their accounts. If blank, SSPR does not display the delete account user agreement page to the users. This message can include HTML tags.

    You can also configure this setting in a different language. Click Add Locale, then select the required language from the list.

    Delete LDAP Entry

    Select whether you want Self Service Password Reset to delete the LDAP entry for the user account when the users delete their accounts. Self Service Password Reset has this option disabled by default.

    Pre-Delete Actions

    Define any pre-delete actions you want Self Service Password Reset to perform prior to deleting the user accounts. You can use these actions to disable the LDAP accounts instead of deleting the LDAP accounts. Specify a descriptive name for the action, then click OK to display the available options.

    Next URL

    Specify a URL where to direct the users after they delete their own accounts. If blank, the normal logout handling occurs.

  6. Enable the Delete Account module.

    1. Click Modules > Authenticated > Delete Account > Settings > Enable Delete Account.

    2. Select Enable to enable the Delete Account module.

  7. In the toolbar, click Save changes.
