Self Registration Requirements

In the Settings page on the Directory Server administration site, you can allow new users to self-register and existing users to modify their license.

  1. In the Settings page, click the Self Registration tab.

    2. Note: To automatically generate a Registration link, you must have a STS site configured. To learn more about configuring a STS site, navigate to the STS Sites page.

  2. There are two options on this page. See below for the list of requirements for each option:
    1. Allow new users to self-register: This option allows new users to self-register.
      • Users do not have to exist within Laserfiche Directory Server.
      • Users must have either SAML, Active Directory (AD), or LDAP credentials.

        Note: LDAP was not supported in Laserfiche Directory Server version 10.4.4 or older.

      • Users will be prompted to sign in using their credentials before self registration begins.
      • Laserfiche Directory Server administrator must configure the STS site for users to authenticate successfully using SAML or AD FS.
      • If an STS site is not set-up or deleted, all self-registration links will be disabled.
      • The following license types are not available for new users that self register: Forms Authenticated Participant and Retrieval licenses.

        • Note: To learn more about how to configure the Allow new users to self-register option, navigate to Self Registration.

    2. Allow existing users to modify their license: This option allows Laserfiche Directory Server users to modify their license.
      • User must exist in Laserfiche Directory Server.
      • User cannot move from their original license to a license with more limited user functionality. For example, if a user has a Full license, they cannot move to a Participant license. Likewise, if a user has a Participant license, they cannot move to None.
      • When a user requests another license, the original license is replaced. This means the user's original license is freed.
      • Available license types are selected by the Laserfiche Directory Server Administrator. This list of available license types excludes: None, Forms Authenticated Participant, and Retrieval licenses.

        • Note: To learn more about how to configure the Allow existing users to modify their license option, navigate to Allow Existing Users to Modify their License.
