All accounts must have data stored local to the Nimble based host application so that this information can be integrated into the access control and presentation layers. For realms that support a federated source such as OpenID, Facebook or even LDAP accounts should be allowed to be auto populated by these realms. If required manual account creation by an administrator similar to the below can be utilized but this will introduce extra complexities.
Local accounts must be manually created by either administrators or end users. Administrator account creationAs an administrator login to your host application and navigate to the administration area. In the top navigation menu under users is an option to create the new accounts. Simply select this and provide the detail required. User self managementBy default users are able to self register for local accounts if they choose not to use OpenID etc or if the host application has disabled these functions.
To disable user self registration set the config option nimble.localusers.registration.enabled to false. Once this is disabled all accounts in the system must be created by an administrator. |
