Forum OpenACS Improvement Proposals (TIPs): TIP #68: (Implemented) Add self-register allow / disallow simple functionality

Proposal

  1. Add the AllowSelfRegister param to acs-authentication
  2. Do the proper changes on the registration pages to check this param.
Reference: https://openacs.org/forums/message-view?message_id=188097

Reasons

Several openacs / .LRN instances real scenarios might not want to allow external users to self-register (i.e. intranets, etc.).

Implementation

we already did the changes on our local checkout of HEAD, and we are ready to commit.
I'm not a voting member, but I would very much love to have this functionality as a part of OpenACS.
Per OCT discussion...

Technically this doesn't require approval because it doesn't change the data model or break existing code.

But anyway it gets my +1 vote and I haven't heard any objection, so I say go for it.
