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

#From the Administration page, click Login Login

Tip:
You can also access the Administration page by typing http://www.yourdomain.com/tiki-admin.php?page=login in your web browser.

The Administration: Login page contains the options to allow users to login, register, and maintain their identity on your Tiki.

The Administration: Login page configures how users will access your Tiki.
Click the General Preferences tab.
Tiki supports several types of user authentication (such as CAS, PEAR and OpenID). For now, we will simply use Tiki's own database. In the Authentication method field, select Tiki.
Note:
Refer to the TikiWiki documentation for details on the different authentication methods.
In the Registration & Login area, enable the Users can register option. This will add a registration link in the Login module, to let visitors register at your site.
Enable the following registration options:
- Validate users 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 the use of the PHP @mail() function. Check with your web host provider for details. Make sure you correctly supplied a Sender email, on the Administration: General page.
- Use CAPTCHA to prevent automatic/robot registration: This will add a CAPTCHA to the registration form to help eliminate false registrations and spam.
  
  Note:
  This option requires the PHP GD Library to be installed on your web server and accessible by Tiki. Check with your web host provider for details.
In the Password section, enable the Remind/forgot password option. This will allow Tiki to automatically reset a user's account if a user has forgotten their password.
Click Change Preferences. Tiki saves the changes and reloads the page.

For complete details on all of the options, refer to TikWiki documentation.

Now you can test the registration process, as a new user. In the Login module, click Logout.

Logging out.
