6.4 Enabling the User Activation Module

The User Activation module allows first-time users to activate their LDAP accounts and set passwords. This module adds a password (and other items if specified as an activation or post-activation action) to an existing but not yet claimed LDAP account.This feature helps the users activate their accounts after an administrator or an automated process creates the LDAP accounts for the users.

You must enable the Activation module for users to be able to claim their accounts if they have never authenticated with their LDAP account. Self Service Password Reset provides many different configuration options for the Activation module. For example, you can define pre-activation and post-activation actions a user must perform.

To enable user activation:

  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 > Public > Modules > User Activation.

  5. Configure the User Activation Module settings using the help.

  6. In the toolbar, click Save changes.
