I have searched and no luck.  I read documentation and can not find the answer to this.

CMS 1.7.1
PHP  5.2.6
FEU   1.9.3
SelfRegistration 1.4.2
CGExtensions 1.19
CGSimpleSmarty 1.4.5
CustomContent 1.5.3

From Selfreg 1.4.2


It looks to as if the Security Settings in Selfreg works like this
No one can join the highlighted group unless he/she are in the white list.  That did not work.  I tried both */email@xyz.com and email@xyz.com.  So I assume users can only be a member of "Group 1" if the admin assigns them to it.  So Whitel ist should mean that users can join any other group only if they are in the white list. That did not work.  All cases returned the message you can not join this group.

What is the White List used for.  I assumed that only usernames and email addresses in the white list were allowed to become members of a group.

I've read the module help http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/User_Handbook/Admin_Panel/Users_and_Groups/Self_Registration
and http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/User_Handbook/Admin_Panel/Users_and_Groups/Front_End_Users

Is there some documentation I'm missing?

Later versions of SelfRegistration have some added security functionality that isn't documented  yet.

a) 'Absolutely Forbit Members to Register to these groups'
this was a sponsored modification to prevent against hackers modifying form values and submitting them.  it ensures that users can only register to the group(s) you allow, incase you have many different kinds of groups.  It is completely independant of the whitelist stuff.

b) 'List of whitelist username/emails. One per line. (use * for wildcards):'
This is either a whitelist or blacklist (depending upon which option you choose) to prevent people with certain email or username patterns from registering to your site.

i.e: if you did not want to allow any users with a .info address you would do this:
i) set the 'Enable Whitelist' pulldown to 'Don't allow matched username/email addresses to register'
ii) in the whitelist text area enter an expression of *.info

Hope this helps.

Robert,
I'm sorry, I missed that dropdown "Enable Whitelist:"

I still have a question about this.

Does the 'List of whitelist username/emails. One per line. (use * for wildcards):' check both username and email or does it only check the username?  I mean if I use email as username then I enter email addresses in the list.  If I have user defined usernames e.g. markg then I add user names to the white list.

What registration form fields does whitelist compare?

Thank You Coldman for the tip. It is true. If You want, remove or edit my message. It's okey.

But the code change does not affect the safety of. Just change the order of the fields to be checked. And change the field in which the whitelist of monitors. (Hmm, was spelled correctly?)

Have a nice day
