4 = Introduction =

6 On a server with public registration it is usually desirable to prevent registration of certain "reserved" accounts, such as "admin".
7
8 This plugin allows you to reserve individual usernames, or those matching certain patterns. It also allows you to ensure that usernames conform to a certain pattern.
9
10 = Configuration =
11
12 Enable the module as any other:
13
14 {{{
15 modules_enabled = {
16 "block_registrations";
17 }
18 }}}
19
20 You can then set some options to configure your desired policy:
21
22 || *Option* || *Default* || *Description* ||
23 || block_registrations_users || { "admin" } || A list of reserved usernames ||
24 || block_registrations_patterns || { } || A list of patterns matching reserved usernames (slower than block_registrations_users) ||
25 || block_registrations_allow || nil || A pattern that registered user accounts MUST match to be allowed ||
26
27 Some examples:
28
29 {{{
30 block_registrations_users = { "admin", "root", "xmpp" }
31 block_registrations_patterns = {
32 "master$" -- matches postmaster, hostmaster, webmaster, etc.
33 }
34 block_registrations_allow = "^[a-zA-Z0-9_-.]$" -- Allow only simple ASCII characters in usernames
35 }}}
