Are there any methods available to us for end users without accounts to self register for an active directory account through the web interface?

Hello,

Yes, you can do something like that. For this purpose, you'll need to create a separate Web Interface where users will be able to log on anonymously and create accounts for themselves, and nothing else. To create such a Web Interface:

  1. Create a new Web Interface. To do this:

    • Launch the Web Interface Customization tool.
    • Expand the Interface type list and click New.
  2. Create a dedicated account that will be used for logging in anonymous users before they create an account for themselves. Such an account is needed because it is currently impossible to log in to the Web Interface without providing valid AD credentials or grant permissions to an anonymous user in Adaxes.

  3. Grant permissions to create new users to that dedicated account.

  4. Configure a home page action for creating new users. For information on how to create such an action, see section Create New Object in the following tutorial: http://www.adaxes.com/tutorials_WebInte ... #createnew.

  5. Disable all other Web Interface components so that when accessing the Web Interface and using the dedicated user account, users could only create new accounts for themselves. For information on how to disable Web Interface components, see the following tutorial: http://www.adaxes.com/tutorials_WebInte ... onents.htm.

  6. Now, that you have a dedicated Web Interface where users can create accounts for themselves, you need to provide users with a URL to it. The URL will look as follows:
    http://example.com/Anonymous/SignIn.asp ... ssword=pwd
    where:

    • DOMAIN\username - is the username of the dedicated user account you created on step 1;
    • pwd - is the account password.

    When accessing the Web Interface using such a URL, users will be automatically logged in with the specified credentials and forwarded to the home page where they can create an account for themselves.
