Self-Registration with Email Confirmation

To increase security, the Create New Account self-registration task sends an email to users when they register. The email requires users to confirm their registration and validate their email address by clicking a link to complete the registration process.

The self-registration task also includes the following additional security features:

• Password meter

  Indicates how secure a self-registered user password is.

  The user enters a password and immediately sees one of the following password levels displayed on screen:

  Very Weak

  Weak

  Better

  Medium

  Strong

  Strongest

• Captcha support

  Self-registration can use Google reCaptcha to prevent malicious attacks from automated "bots." When you add the Captcha control to a self registration task, users prove that they are not screen reader programs by typing distorted words or numbers into a verification field.

  The following screen shows the Captcha control.

  

  Important! In its default configuration, self-registration uses the reCaptcha service from Google, to discourage abuse of self-registration by automated bots.  We cannot guarantee that Google will continue to provide the reCaptcha service in its current form; changes by Google may result in self-registration becoming nonfunctional.   You can reconfigure self-registration to function without reCaptcha.

Administrators complete the following high level steps to configure self-registration with email confirmation:

1. Configure a required attribute in the user store.
2. Configure the self-registration task, including the password meter and Captcha support.
3. Configure the self-registration confirmation task.
4. Configure the email.
5. Associate the self-registration task with the tenant environment.
