Configure account requests for GIP accounts

Enable and configure account requests so users can request local GIP accounts from the Console App sign‑in screen.

GIP must be upgraded to version 6.00 or later to activate the account request feature. For step-by-step instructions, see Migrate the GIP database. To view the GIP version, open the Console App and go to Help > About.

Open your GIP fglprofile configuration file located in $FGLDIR\web_utilities\services\gip\bin\idp.
Set the oidc.account.create.allow parameter to true to enable the account request feature:
```
oidc.account.create.allow = true
```
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"
```
Save the configuration file and restart the Genero Application Server (GAS) to apply the change.
Verify that the Create Account option appears on the Console App sign-in screen.
If the option is missing, confirm the GIP configuration and that account-requesting is permitted by your authorization settings.

Local GIP users will see the Create Account link on the GIP sign-in form.

Once enabled, users can request new local GIP accounts directly from the GIP sign-in screen. Users submit their account request information (login, email, and other required fields) and an administrator must approve the request. For details, go to Request a local GIP account. Access isn’t immediate. The administrator needs to approve the account first and configure user roles. To learn more about this process, go to Manage user account requests.
