Features

The Sign Up Screenlet creates a new user in your Liferay instance: a new user of your app can become a new user in your portal. You can also use this Screenlet to save the credentials of the new user in their keychain. This enables auto login for future sessions. The Screenlet also supports navigation of form fields from the keyboard of the user’s device.

Portal Configuration

The configuration related to the Sign Up Screenlet can be set in the Control Panel by clicking Portal Settings and then Authentication.

For more details, please refer to the Configuring Portal Settings section of the User Guide.

Anonymous Request

Anonymous requests are unauthenticated requests. Authentication is needed, however, to call the API. To allow this operation, the portal administrator should create a specific user with minimal permissions.

Offline

This Screenlet doesn’t support offline mode. It requires network connectivity.

Attributes

Attribute	Data type	Explanation
anonymousApiUserName	string	The user name, email address, or user ID (depending on the portal’s authentication method) to use for authenticating the request.
anoymousApiPassword	string	The password for use in authenticating the request.
companyId	number	When set, authentication is done for a user in the specified company. If the value is 0, the company specified in LiferayServerContext is used.
autoLogin	boolean	Whether the user is logged in automatically after a successful sign up.
saveCredentials	boolean	Sets whether or not the user’s credentials and attributes are stored in the keychain after a successful log in. This attribute is ignored if autologin is disabled.

Delegate

The Sign Up Screenlet delegates some events to an object that conforms to the SignUpScreenletDelegate protocol. If the autologin attribute is enabled, login events are delegated to an object conforming to the LoginScreenletDelegate protocol. Refer to the LoginScreenlet documentation for more details.

The SignUpScreenletDelegate protocol lets you implement the following methods:

• - screenlet:onSignUpResponseUserAttributes:: Called when sign up successfully completes. The user attributes are passed as a dictionary of keys (String or NSStrings) and values (AnyObject or NSObject). The supported keys are the same as Liferay Portal’s User entity.

• - screenlet:onSignUpError:: Called when an error occurs in the process. The NSError object describes the error.
