Don't ask for Confirmation e-mail when using RPX

Hi Joe, 

Is it possible to "ignore" e-mail confirmation when user registers using RPX?

Something like if  "RPXUserDontNeedEmailConfirmation" then SiSiteUser.ConfirmRegistration(this.registrationConfirmationGuid)

Re: Don't ask for Confirmation e-mail when using RPX

Hi Bruno,

I think that would defeat the purpose of the validation because we don't always get pre-verified email addresses and in some cases we get no email address at all and have to prompt the user for it.

In the case where we do know that the email provided by RPX is verified we do accept it without doing our own verification. There is an indicator in the data returned from RPX that tells us if the email is verified and we use this to decide whether to send our own verification email.

It varies from one account provider to another whether they provide a verified email address or not, but RPX does tell us if it is verified.

Best,

Joe

Re: Don't ask for Confirmation e-mail when using RPX

Thank you again Joe !!! 

After your post, I debugged the code and found this on OpenIdRpxHandler.aspx.cs, line 511:

 

            //test
            emailIsVerified = false;

 

My RPX e-mail was verified but the above line overwrites emailIsVerified to false !?!? Commenting the line, everything works as expected and my registered user doesn't need to confirm his e-mail !!! Just as I needed !!!

Could you please check it?

Re: Don't ask for Confirmation e-mail when using RPX

you are right! that is a bug, I must have been distracted and forgot to remove or comment that out after some testing I was doing. Doh! :-D I'm not perfect.

It is fixed in the repository now. I will update this site with a fresh build tomorrow to reduce inconvenience

Thanks for digging into this!

Best,

Joe
