# Registration Plugin Readme

## Overview

The registration plugin allows admins to configure various actions whenever a new user creates an account.

## Installation

Copy the registration.jar into the plugins directory of your Openfire installation. The plugin will then be automatically deployed. To upgrade to a new version, copy the new registration.jar file over the existing file.

## Configuration

The registration plugin is configured via the "Registration Properties" sidebar item located in the "Users" sidebar item under the "Users/Groups" tab in the Openfire Admin Console. By default, after the registration plugin has been deployed all of its features are disabled. To enable a feature of the plugin select the checkbox next to the feature and then click on the "Save Settings" button. The registration plugin has three items that can be configured:

- Registration Notification - Contacts can be configured to receive an instant message and/or email to notify them whenever a new user registers.
- Welcome Message - A message that will be sent to a user when they first register.
- Default Group - A group that all users will be added to when they first register.
- Web Page Registration - Allows users to create accounts via a web page.

  ## Using the Plugin

  Presently, after the registration plugin has been configured nothing else needs to be done to use it.
