Configuring User Logins

Right now, your Tiki has only one user — you, as the system administrator (admin). If you want more users, you need to allow visitors to register. Use this page of the wizard to configure the login, registration, and validation preferences for the new accounts.

1. Enable the Users can register option. This will add a registration link in the Login module, to let visitors register at your site.
2. Confirm that the following options are also enabled:
   • Validate new user registrations by email: This will cause Tiki to send a registration email to new users. The email will contain a link that the user must click in order to complete their registration.
     

      Note

     This option requires your server to be able to send mail. Check with your Web host provider for details. You can also test your server’s ability to send email during the installation. Make sure you correctly supplied a Sender email, on the Administration: General page.
   • Forgot password: This will allow Tiki to automatically reset a user's account if a user has forgotten their password.
   • Minimum length: Set minimum password length.
     For added security and user protection, later you can require that passwords contain a mixture of letters and numerals and force users to change their passwords on a regular basis.
3. Leave the other options as their defaults and click Save and Continue. Tiki saves the changes and loads the next wizard page.
