Registration without emailing password to end-user

Post by AlanGarcia »

Hi,
I would like to allow users to sign up for an account, but want to avoid sending their log on credentials to them via email. I would prefer having the end-user set and confirm their password during their registration process. Is it possible to simply toggle an option built into the code, or will development be necessary?
Thanks for any help you folks can provide!

I am using Mantis version 1.0.0a3. Sorry for not posting that earlier.

Set "$g_send_reset_password = ON;". This will email the user a verification URL and allow them to set their password.

Im actually trying to prevent sending out an email to the enduser. I would like to keep the entire registration process in one window. I need this functionality mainly because the people I am implementing this for are by no means computer savvy people. On top of this, the entire application is being kept internally on our LAN. Thank you very much, I hope this provided greater clarification of my problem.

Mantis doesn't have a self registration that allows one to enter a password. You need to pre-create the users and, possibly, link mantis into your existing password system. I think that there may be a patch in the bug tracker to automatically create users at the first login when using LDAP for authentication.
