[Dspace-general] Validating E-mail addresses for new User

[Stuart Lewis [sdl]]

Hi Rudolph,

I have just written a patch which should do this for you. See:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1642336&group_i
d=19984&atid=319984

This patch adds a new configuration option:

#### PasswordAuthentication options ####
# Only emails ending in the following domains are allowed to
self-register
# Example - example.com domain : @example.com
# Example - MIT domain and all .ac.uk domains: @mit.edu, .ac.uk
# authentication.password.domain.valid = example.com

So you can set it to:

authentication.password.domain.valid = @iop.kcl.ac.uk

I hope this helps,


Stuart

Hi. At the university where I work users have e-mail address in the
format <username>@iop.kcl.ac.uk. When a new user registers with their
E-mail address is there a way Dspace can validate the address so that it
only allows addresses in the format mentioned above? This would be very
usefull for us. Thanks.
