Redmine registration issues¶

Redmine registration is currently not working due to mail configuration issue.

People can create accounts but the account activation mail is never sent.

To manually activate an account for people creating new accounts¶

• Send a mail to the Mailing list (Registration required) or the PrivateContact address or the mailing list.

To manually activate an account for people that have admin access in the Redmine interface¶

If you have the mail in Maildir format:

$ cat ./the_mail_in_Maildir_format | dkimverify 
signature ok

With claws mail, open the mail, then click "File->Save Email as", then you can verify it with dkimverify manually:

$ cat saved_mail | dkimverify
signature ok

Then in Redmine, go in Administration->Users and Select All in Status, and search for the mail address.

Make sure that there is only one email matching, and then, once the user is selected, you should see the following links on the top-right of the page:

Emails Activate Delete Users

You can then activate the account by clicking on "Activate".

Be aware that there is no confirmation and that once the button is clicked, the account is activated immediately.
