disable self-registration on DSpace 7

[Joshua Kim]

Hi,

In DSpace 7, self-registration (password authentication) is enabled by default. Is there a way to disable the self-registration on DSpace 7?

Hi Jashua,

It's a known bug but you can try this https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/8499 until it get officially fixed.

If you haven't done so already, you can also get rid of the registration link below the login box by editing the front end code at /src/app/shared/log-in/log-in.component.html  and commenting out or erasing the line:

<a class="dropdown-item" *ngIf="canRegister$ | async" [routerLink]="[getRegisterRoute()]" [attr.data-test]="'register' | dsBrowserOnly">{{"login.form.new-user" | translate}}</a>

Of course that just removes the link, not the form itself.  Unfortunately I'm also having the issue where the "Forgot your password" functionality sends people a registration link and instructions if you punch in an email that isn't a user already.  So to completely hide registration, I also have to hide the password reset functionality.  And even that just obfuscates it...

In short, I'd certainly love to see a simple "disable registration" option for authentication-password!
