[EP-tech] Re: restricting account creation

[Alan.Stiles]

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?
