RequireRegistrationPlugin

Force externally authenticated users to register in case they do not have a TWiki account

Introduction

This plugin will redirect a user to the TWikiRegistration topic if their login name is not a WikiWord, or optionally, if the user's profile page does not exist.

Use this if you have setup single sign-on (SSO) and want to force externally authenticated users to register to get their profile page before accessing any wiki content.

Syntax Rules

  • None, just install and configure it.

Examples

  • None. It just works.

Plugin Installation Instructions

Note: You do not need to install anything on the browser to use this plugin. The following instructions are for the administrator who installs the plugin on the TWiki server.

  • Download the ZIP file from the plugin web (see below)
  • Unzip RequireRegistrationPlugin.zip in your twiki installation directory. Content:
    File: Description:
    data/TWiki/RequireRegistrationPlugin.txt Plugin topic
    lib/TWiki/Plugins/RequireRegistrationPlugin.pm Plugin Perl module
    lib/TWiki/Plugins/RequireRegistrationPlugin/Config.spec Spec file for configure
  • Configure the Plugin:
    • Run the configure script
    • Enable the plugin in the Plugins section
    • Find the RequireRegistrationPlugin in the Extensions section and change these settings as needed:
      • {Plugins}{RequireRegistrationPlugin}{Actions} - comma-separated list of actions that this plugin should work on. Default actions: attach, edit, viewfile.
      • {Plugins}{RequireRegistrationPlugin}{RequireProfileTopic} - set to 1 if to check for existence of the user profile topic
      • {Plugins}{RequireRegistrationPlugin}{Refresh} - refresh time in seconds to do a meta refresh redirect to the registration page. Specify -1 to use an immediate redirect CGI query.
  • Test if the installation was successful:
    • Log in as a user without a WikiName and edit a page - it should redirect to the registration topic.
    • You can add a conditional message in the registration topic to let users know what is happening. Use an IF statement to test for parameter note=requireregistration.
