6.3 Configuring the New User Registration Module

You can enable users to create a new user account by clicking New User Registration on the login page of Self Service Password Reset. You can specify the attributes that the new user must have to register and the actions that the system must perform when it creates a new user. It also allows you to define actions that it will perform after a user completes the registration process. For an example, the New User Registration module allows you to forward users to a specific URL after the registration process completes. For an example, see Creating Accounts for Social Users in Self Service Password Reset Using the New User Registration Module.

If you want to create different profiles for different user groups, you can use the Edit List option and create different profiles. For more information about creating and configuring the profiles see, Configuring Profiles.

When a new user completes the registration, Self Service Password Reset generates a random name that is included as an LDAP name or entry ID in the LDAP directory. You can specify the appropriate value in the directory as the display name or entry ID by using the LDAP Entry ID Definition setting. The display name or the entry ID can be name, email address, or any other information that is provided in the New User Form.

NOTE:The proxy user requires additional rights to create new users through the New User Registration module. For more information, see Proxy User Rights in the Self Service Password Reset 4.2 Installation Guide.
