User registration self-service
The user registration self-service is a process within the Loginapp that allows new users to register, i.e., to create a user account in Airlock IAM.
During the self-registration process, the necessary data about the new users is collected, and, depending on the configuration, they can immediately be given access to all or only specified applications.
The self-registration process is highly configurable and can be customized and extended.
The process is typically structured as follows (example):
- Enter context data (such as email address, name, date of birth, address, nationality, etc.).
- Accept the terms of services.
- Verify the provided email address and or mobile phone number.
- Choose username and password.
- Set other properties (e.g. roles and auth method).
- Optionally set an authentication method migration.
- Persist the user account.
Status after self-registration
The status of a user account after self-registration depends on the configuration of Airlock IAM. For the Loginapp UI and Loginapp REST API, the user is locked by default and a User Unlock Step (self-registration) can be configured in the flow to set the state of the account to unlocked.
Self-registration usually provides only little evidence of the end-user's real identity. Access to applications after self-registration should therefore be limited accordingly.
