Custom Self Registration Stage in ForgeRock IDM 6.0

[Meiyappan]

Hi Everyone,

We are using ForgeRock IDM (version 6.0). We Would like to know if there is any possibility to create Custom Self Registration Stage in ForgeRock IDM.
For Example, during the user self registration, if OTP should be sent to the user and validated in ForgeRock IDM, can some one help by giving some pointers.

Also, is there any possibility to send different Registration mail for different users based on role or based on some attributes?(i.e.) When Admin self Registers, he should get Registration Mail which should be different from other users.

Thanks,
Meiyappan

A good starting point should be my wiki page at https://wikis.forgerock.org/confluence/display/openidm/Selfservices+in+IDM6

I wrote a blog on creating a custom self-service stage.
See: http://yaunap.blogspot.com/2017/06/forgerock-self-service-custom-stage.html
It’s for v5, but applies to v6 equally.

Thank you Andrew Potter & Hanns Nolan for the inputs.

We referred to the below blogs for custom stages.

1. http://yaunap.blogspot.com/2017/06/forgerock-self-service-custom-stage.html
2. http://yaunap.blogspot.com/2016/07/custom-stages-to-user-self-service_1.html

We reused the MathProblemStageConfig class (2nd blog). We compiled the code for MathProblemStageConfig class. No compilation error was thrown.

We placed the jar inside the /bundle folder of open idm folder.
We modified the selfservice-registration.json as below

stageConfigs”: [
{
“class” : “org.forgerock.selfservice.custom.MathProblemStageConfig”,
“leftValue” : 12,
“rightValue” : 4
},

When we restart the server or try clicking on the register link, following error is thrown.

Cannot locate class ‘org.forgerock.selfservice.custom.MathProblemStageConfig’, problem: org.forgerock.selfservice.custom.MathProblemStageConfig not found by org.forgerock.openidm.selfservice

Can anyone please let us know what else need to be done to load the class. Do we need to register the jar using any commands?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Meiyappan

[jpjensen]

I am getting the same error when I try to follow this https://backstage.forgerock.com/docs/idm/6.5/self-service-reference/#chap-custom-stages documentation. Has anyone figured out what we are doing wrong when trying to follow this example?

[rasarkar]

Did anyone figure out what the problem was? I am facing the same issue.
