Description
The Self-Service account creation portlet is a very much pre-release, in-development, not-complete portlet application and suite of portlets for self-service account management. The portlet affords features for end-user account creation, password reset, modification of user information, and administration over these features.
Goals of project
- Provide compelling self-service account management features suitable for use with uPortal out of the box (if you really don't have a better identity store, uPortal becomes a more basically usable store for small projects)
- Provide support for integrating these features with reasonable places to really be storing this account information, which probably isn't the uPortal database, and is probably instead external LDAP or database (since you have a real store for identity information, it is feasible to adapt this portlet for use with that
In short, to provide an open source, shared, portlet-implemented platform on which adopters can implement their self-service account management needs.
