[EP-tech] Re: restricting account creation

Hi Malcolm,
 
You could either add another line after the first "return 1 if..."
ie

...

  # registration allowed

  return 1 if $email =~ /\@westminster\.ac\.uk$/;

  return 1 if $email =~/\@wmin\.ac\.uk$/;

 

  return 0; # registration denied

...

 
or, using the joys of regex, change the existing line to something like:
 
   return 1 if $email =~ /\@w(est)?min(ster)?\.ac\.uk$/;
 
Hope that helps

Hi Jose,

 

Many thanks, I'll give it a try, but how can I change that to include an alias of 'wmin.ac.uk' ?

 

Regards,

Malcolm.

Check cfg.d/registration.pl:

 

# This function allows you to allow/deny sign-ups from

# particular email domains

$c->{check_registration_email} = sub

{

  my( $repository, $email ) = @_;

 

  # registration allowed

  return 1 if $email =~ /\@westminster\.ac\.uk$/;

 

  return 0; # registration denied

}

 

Best,

 

                Jose.

Hi,

 

We use local accounts, not LDAP accounts, and would like to restrict requests for new accounts to users with a 'westminster.ac.uk' email address. I'm sure this possible, but how - and is it easy to do?

 

Regards,

Malcolm.
