Sign-Up & Password Recovery Activation

System Administrator can activate Sign-Up & Password Recovery via Administration application→ Settings → Global System Settings → Secure Token Service:

• Allow User Registration checkbox:
  • disabled (default): the login to the system is possible only with an existing account. As a rule, these are accounts registered at the identity provider system like Active Directory or Azure Active Directory;
  • selected: system login page allows registering new accounts and provides password recovery link.
• Add registered Users to Domain: choose from the suggested options an internal Domain where all new accounts will be saved. The list does not suggest Active Directory / Azure Active Directory Domains as the new registrations will be saved in DWP system only as Internal Domain accounts and will not be synchronized with any external identity provider.

Click Done to apply changes.

The login page displays the activated option as follows:
