Description Pradeep Kilambi 2008-02-19 16:58:36 UTC

Description of problem:
TO remove the user creation from registration process against hosted, we need
hosted to return  appropriate message letting user know what to do.

The registration client makes an xmlrpc call to hosted when login/password is
entered. Which in turn calls backend/server/rhnUser.py's reserve_user method. In
Satellite Case this method returns a rhnFault that user creation is not allowed
in RHN Satellite context by checking 'disallow_user_creation' config variable
and if user exists. The same thing need to happen for hosted case as well.

- Flip the 'disallow_user_creation' flag in /etc/rhn/defaults/rhn_server.conf

- Fix the error message to suggest user to go to hosted url to create new user. 

- raise rhnFault which the client would catch and show the user to do the
appropriate thing.

Note: Make sure to let Pradeep/Satellite know when this is in the QA env

from rhnreg_ks  new message:
Error Class Code: 2001
Error Class Info: 
     We're sorry! Due to changes in the way we capture information, user
     creation has been disabled through this process. To continue, please visit
     -- https://www.redhat.com/wapps/ugc/register.html -- (you may copy and
     paste) and create a Red Hat login.

     To complete the process, run rhn_register on the command line and enter
     your new username and password when prompted. Our sincerest apologies for
     having you enter your new account information twice.

all set on dev

Comment 6 Máirín Duffy 2008-03-10 21:26:53 UTC

I recommend against directing people to UGC. That's like telling them: "This
road's closed. Here, go this way" and redirecting them to a bridge that's out.
:) See, if they are creating brand new blank accounts using UGC, they will never
be able to successfully register because a brand new account will have 0
entitlements.

Better to point people to: https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/sales/LoginInfo.do 
It was specifically designed for this purpose.

====

On the GUI screen with three buttons:

[o] I have an existing Red Hat Login
[ ] I dont have a login. I need to create one
[ ] Tell me why I need to register and provide a Red Hat Login

It should be changed to look like this:


[o] I have an existing Red Hat Login
[ ] Tell me why I need to register and provide a Red Hat Login

(i) Tip: Don't have a Red Hat Login? Please visit:
https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/sales/LoginInfo.do

=========

Why Register? Screen also needs the language regarding creating a new login
completely taken out.

Comment 7 James Bowes 2008-03-11 18:46:12 UTC

I've updated the link to point at LoginInfo.do instead. The client side changes
to get rid of the create login checkbox will be in rhel 5.2 and 4.7, iirc
