Hello

Here is the topic:
Installing and configuring the self-registration feature
You can enable users to create their own portal user accounts. However, first you must install the self-registration feature.
To install and configure the self-registration feature:
1.Start SQL*Plus and login to the database in which the Login Server is installed.
2.Create a schema. This schema will be used for accessing user administration objects on the Login Server. From now
on in this task we will refer to this as the user administration access schema.
3.In the user administration access schema, create a synonym for the Login Server SSO schema package
wwsso_api_user_admin. This synonym must be called wwsso_api_user_admin.
4.Grant Execute privileges on the wwsso_api_user_admin package in the Login Server SSO schema to the user
administration access schema.
5.If Oracle Portal and the Login Server are installed in different databases:
a.In the user administration access schema, create a synonym for the Login Server SSO schema package
wwctx_api_vpd package. This synonym must be called wwctx_api_vpd.
b.Grant Execute privileges on the wwctx_api_vpd package in the Login Server SSO schema to the user
administration access schema.
c.In the schema in which Oracle Portal is installed, create a database link to connect to the user administration
access schema.
6.Start a command line prompt.
7.Change to the portal30/admin/plsql directory of the directory in which Oracle Portal is installed.
8.Enter the following command:
UNIX:
selfreg.csh -s <portal_schema> -p <portal_password> -ua <sso_uadmin_schema> -c
<portal_connect_string> -dblink <sso_uadmin_dblink>
NT:
selfreg.cmd -s <portal_schema> -p <portal_password> -ua <sso_uadmin_schema> -c
<portal_connect_string> -dblink <sso_uadmin_dblink>
where:
portal_schema
is the database schema in which Oracle Portal is installed.
Default: PORTAL30
portal_password
is the password for the above schema.
Default: <portal_schema>
sso_uadmin_schema
is the user administration access database schema you created in step 1.
Default: <portal_schema>SSOUA
Note: You do not need to provide a value for this parameter if you specify a database
link for the dblink parameter.
portal_connect_string
is the connect string for the database in which Oracle Portal is installed.
Note: You need to provide the connect string only if you are running the script on a
different database.
sso_uadmin_dblink
is the name of the database link created in step 4c.
Note: You need to provide the database link only if the Login Server is installed in a
different database instance from the Oracle Portal installation. If you do not provide a
value for this parameter, it is assumed that the user administration access schema is
in the same database instance as Oracle Portal.
For example:
selfreg.csh -s myportal -p myportal -ua myportal_sso_ua -c orcl -dblink uadmin_link
9.Press the Enter or Return key.
10.Start Oracle Portal
11.In the Services portlet, click Global Settings. By default, the Services portlet is located on the Oracle Portal home
page's Administer tab.
12.In the Self-Registration Options section, select Enable Users To Log On Immediately if you want users to be able to
log on to Oracle Portal immediately after they create their own user account using the self-registration feature.
Note: If you do not select this check box, you will need to assign the user as an authorized user before he or she is able
to log on.
13.To expose the self-registration feature to users, you can customize the Login portlet to include a self-registration link.
