Enabling account activation

For added security you can require new users to activate their accounts after registering. Activation is done by clicking a link in an email that is sent to the new user. The link includes a randomly generated activation code.

To enable this feature you must complete these steps:

  • Enable account activation in the Portal configuration in the Configuration Editor.
  • Configure the notification template for the account activation message.

Enabling account activation

In the Portal configuration, select the Portal User node and set the Enable Activation attribute to True.

You can also use the Activation Code Length attribute to specify the length of the activation code that is sent to the user. The default is 6 characters.

Configuring the notification template

By default the RegisterPortalUser notification template is used to send activation emails for the Billing Portal. This is the same template that is used for the CDR Portal, so you might want to specify an alternate template to use for the Billing Portal.

To specify an alternate notification template, use the Setup > Billing > Notification Templates node in the Portal configuration. The Activation Email attribute specifies the template to use for the Billing Portal.

RegisterPortalUser is one of the standard notification templates, but a separate activation email template for the Billing Portal is not provided out of the box. To create a template, log in to Infor Operations and Regulations and select Resources > Notification Templates.

See Notifications.

The Input Parameters field for the notification template should specify Hansen.Portal.IMembership oMembership.
