New user registration is a part of the OpenID Connect authentication process. As the user arrives in the login UI, they may be given the option to register a new account. Depending on the configuration, the registration is done with an integrated form, or by linking to an external location where the registration flow may be more customised.

Registration enabling configuration

Registration is enabled in the OpenID Connect client editor.

The integrated registration form can be enabled by selecting a Namespace where users are limited to, and allowing new user registration. The selected Namespace must also have new user registration as enabled.

The external registration form can be enabled by entering a “New user registration custom URL” and allowing new user registration.

Integrated registration form

The integrated registration form has fields which are selected in the Namespace configuration. Field visibility, whether they are required, and whether some of them are verified can be configured there.

Configuration is done in the Namespace editor > User registration tab.

Some customer-specific modules may add custom components to the registration form. Their configuration is not documented here.

The registration flow has multiple steps:

1. Enter basic information (names, email address, password, …)

2. Verify entered information immediately if so configured (email address, mobile number)

3. Review details of the new user account

4. Perform login with new account (which may have more interactive steps depending on configuration)

External registration form

The user is sent to the configured URL if the Registration option is selected in the authentication UI. The following query parameters are added to the URL:
