[Dspace-tech] self-registered button & e-persons' password

[Vera Kriezi]

Dear all,

I am trying to create e-persons to submit items to a collection and assign them to a group with submission priviledges.

The problem is that I can not find a way to set a password (or even to say: I forgot the password, so the user should first register in order to set his own password, as instructed). I realised that DSPACE does not have the option to set passwords for users/epersons for security reasons. 

But, from the jspui there is no option for users to self-register. Is there any way to set this from dspace.cfg ?

thanks,

Vera Kriezi

Hi Vera,

although I'm not completely familiar with the JSPUI specifics, I
know there's a registration page. Try entering
http://www.yourdspace.com/register, it should show up. You can
register the users there (this is the same page they would use to
register themselves) with their email addresses and they will receive
an email telling them how they can set a password.

I'm not completely sure, but I think they're in the database as users
even before they set the password, so you should be able to assign
them to a group. Even if not, you can wait for their registration
notification to be sent to your email (registration.notify =
your...@example.com) and do it then.

That means that the email address you put into the registration form
already has a DSpace account. In that case
1) you shouldn't change the password of this user
2) you should be able to just assign him to a group

Hmm, it seems like you're using the X509Authentication authentication
method (client certificates). That means that the user with the email
you specified is not logging in using a password, but a personal
certificate installed in your web browser. I don't have experience
with those, but as I wrote before, it shouldn't be necessary because
the user already exists.

Hi Helix,
thanks for the answer.

I tried to access mydspace/register page and it is working. When I put the email address the system says that:

Already Registered

Our records show that you've already registered with DSpace and have an active account with us.

You can set a new password if youve forgotten it.

So, the /forgot page appears again. If I press I forgot my password button then I got this message:

Certificate Required

The configuration of this DSpace site means that you need a valid Web certificate to log in.

Regards,

Vera

Vera,

There is an option of self-register under My Dpsace and When you get Login screen.

"New user? Click here to register."

Pre-requisite is to have e-mail settings enabled.

Follow this link: http://blog.stuartlewis.com/2009/09/05/using-gmail-with-dspace/.

Its bit old but should work.

Unfortunately, 

when I try to register a new user a get an internal error.

I checked the dspace log file and I only saw these:

Ugh... Use a your gmail account's SMTP server only as a last resort.

The proper way is to ask about your network administrator about SMTP
server address and settings. It's the same thing as you set up in your
email client.

[Vera Kriezi]

thank you all for the advices. The error persists and it seems to be something wrong with the mail server.

I will contact IT dept. for any clues.

Kind regards,

Vera
