Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Developer's Guide

Customizing the Self-Registration Page

You can customize the Self-registration page which is part of Membership authentication module. The default data and interface provided with the Membership authentication module is generic and can work with any domain. You can configure it to reflect custom data and information. You can add custom user profile data or fields to register or to create a new user.

To Modify the Self-Registration Page

Customize the Membership.xml file.

By default, the first three data fields are required in the default Membership Module configuration:
- User name
- User Password
- Confirm User Password
  
  You can specify which data is requested, which is required, and which is optional. The sample below illustrates how to add a telephone number as requested data.
  
  You can specify or add data which should be requested from a user as part of the User Profile. By default you can specify or add any attributes from the following objectClasses:
- top
- person
- organizationalPerson
- inetOrgPerson
- iplanet-am-user-service
- inetuser
  
  Administrators can add their own user attributes to the User Profile.

Update and redeploy the opensso.war file.

After you have modified the authentication GUI files, in order to see the changes in the actual GUI, you must update and then redeploy the opensso.war file. For more information, see Chapter 12, Creating and Deploying OpenSSO Enterprise WAR Files.

Restart the OpenSSO Enterprise server web container.
