Configure the account request feature

Enable and configure the account request feature in Genero Identity Provider (GIP) so users can request accounts for either the GIP or an external IdP from the Console App sign-in screen.

  1. Open your GIP fglprofile configuration file located in $FGLDIR\web_utilities\services\gip\bin\idp.
  2. Set the oidc.account.create.allow parameter to true to enable the account request feature:
    oidc.account.create.allow = true
  3. Set the oidc.account.creation.end_url parameter to a path (resolved relative to the GAS base URL) to redirect users after submitting the request (for example: "/demos.html")
    oidc.account.creation.end_url =  "/demos.html"
  4. Save the configuration file and restart the Genero Application Server (GAS) to apply the change.
  5. Optional: If not done already, run the StarterApp to upgrade the GIP to version 6.00— this is required to activate the account request feature.
    For step-by-step instructions, go to Migrate your Genero Identity Provider database

    Access the StarterApp at: http://host:port[/gas]/ua/r/idp/StarterApp

    Alternatively, open the GAS demos page (demos.html) and launch the StarterApp from there. If GAS is running in standalone mode, go to: http://localhost:6394/demos.html

  6. Verify that the Create Account option appears on the Console App sign-in screen. For external IdP users, the Create Account link appears beneath the IdP sign‑in button. If the option is missing, confirm the IdP and GIP configuration and that account‑requesting is permitted by your authorization settings.

Once enabled, users can request new accounts directly from the GIP sign-in screen. For details on the user workflow, see Request a GIP account.
