Set up Self-Service registration when IDCS is configured as a service provider

You can configure Identity Cloud Service to act as a service provider to other external identity providers.

In this scenario the self-service registrations made when the value of the profile option SVC_CSS_USE_FA_AS_IDP is False will continue to create user accounts only in IDCS.

Depending on the identity provider, a custom process must be used to synchronize the user account with the external identity provider.

As the identity provider in this scenario isn't IDCS, the external provider will now have the responsibility for sending out the welcome email, managing the password cycle, and performing authentication. Also, IDCS must be configured to not send out the welcome email that allows a user to set the password.

Here's how you configure IDCS to not send the welcome email;

1. Sign in to Identity Cloud Service as a user with Administrative access.

2. From the Navigation drawer, select Settings, and then Notifications.

3. Click the Configure tab.

4. In the End-User Notifications work area, deselect the following check boxes:

   • Welcome

   • User Activation

   • Resend Welcome

5. Click Save, and when the confirmation dialog box appears click OK.
