Q&A: What is the self-service invitation service

Question:

What is the self-service invitation service

Answer:

The Invitation Service is designed to prevent you from having to set or specify a password when creating a user via the UMC. Instead, an external mail address is set to which the token for setting the password is then sent. It is intended for the creation of new users.

General information:

  • cache directory
    /var/cache/univention-directory-listener/selfservice-invitation
  • ucr variable
    umc/self-service/invitation/enabled
  • listener-module
    /usr/lib/univention-directory-listener/system/selfservice-invitation.py

Known Issues:

Bug 50230
The limits set via ucrv increases, but nobody is using the selfservice

ucr search umc/self-service/passwordreset/limit/*

show statistics via

/usr/lib/univention-self-service/univention-self-service-request-count
