Access Management  en

Hi everyone,

unfortunately it is still not possible to choose between options to use email address or user name at the access management (why not after so many months?), but today I have a different question:

The manual says that it is possible to have a login form, for both manual or automatic registration mode, which also should enable the user to recover or change his/her password - where is that particular funtion? I cannot see it anywhere.

Thanks, Alex

Hello Alex.

When you want to make a page password protected and the password will be generated by you, then you have to enable Manual Registration and insert a login/logout form on a page which you want to make password protected.

If you want to make a page password protected and the password will be generated automatically, then you have to enable Automatic Registration. In that case you don't need to insert any login/log out form at that page. It will be inserted by default.

Now, to activate automatic password, you must have a database on your server. Simply create a database on your server>Then come to Website X5>Step 1: Settings, Advanced Tab>Select Data Management>Click on Add to add a new database>Now enter your database details such as host name, username, password etc.>Then save it>Now come back to Advanced Tab and select Access Management>Click on Settings Tab>Now select Automatic Registration>Then select the database you have created>Now enter any table name like registration or etc. and provide admin email address>Then tick on the checkboxes and then choose which page you want to redirect the user after successful registration or login>Then Go back to Step 3:Map>Then select a page which you want to be protected by password>Then click on Priavte at the upper order menu> And save it

Hope this will help you. Feel free to keep posting for further help

Have a nice day ahead. Thank you
