You can register a user and get the confirmation by the user through the email which helps to confirm an actual user.

The self sign up process creates the user and locks the user account until the user confirmation is received. The created user has an expiry period which, if exceeded, ensures the account cannot be unlocked. The expired accounts are not actually used by the creator and may have been forgotten long ago. The system administrator can later delete these accounts if needed, hence making this a better way to manage the resources.

The following service API can be used for the sign up and confirmation: https://localhost:9443/services/UserInformationRecoveryService?wsdl.

  1. You need to define the following claims and map them with correct attributes in the underlying data store.

    http://wso2.org/claims/identity/accountLocked
    http://wso2.org/claims/identity/passwordTimestamp

  2. Configure the identity­-mgt.properties file with the following:

    Identity.Listener.Enable=true
    Notification.Sending.Internally.Managed=true
    Authentication.Policy.Account.Lock.On.Creation=true
    Notification.Expire.Time=7200

  3. Configure the email­-admin­-config.xml file with the email template of type “accountConfirmation”. The following is a sample template:

    <configuration type="accountConfirmation">
	<targetEpr>https://localhost:8443/InfoRecoverySample/validate</targetEpr>
	<subject>WSO2 Carbon ­ Account Confirmation</subject>
	<body>
		Hi {first-­name},


		You have created an account with following user name User Name: {user­-name}


		Please click the following link to unlock. If clicking the link doesn't seem to work, you can copy and paste the link into your browser's address window.


		{confirmation-­link}
	</body>
