Re: [orion-dev] Way to re-send confirmation email?

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Javier,

There is currently no way for the user
to trigger a resend of that message. We have a bug about that:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=394141

However as the administrator you can
change the email address of any user, and after you do that the user is
able to log in (at least it worked when I did a quick test on orion.eclipse.org).

Way to re-send confirmation email?

If the server is configured with orion.auth.user.creation.force.email
set to "true", then a user will receive a confirmation email
after registering.  The user must click on the link in the email in
order to confirm their email address;  otherwise he/she cannot log
in. 

However, sometimes there are issues with email delivery and a user will
not get the email.  In this case for other web apps, usually either
the user or admin (or both) can re-send the confirmation email.  Is
there a way to do this in Orion? 

I haven't found a way to do this.  The only option I found is for
the admin to delete that user's profile and have him/her redo registration.
 The user may still not receive the emails (due to aggressive spam
filter in the middle, for example) -- unfortunately, the admin cannot set
that user's profile as "confirmed" (that checkbox in the profile
panel is readonly)...
