Discussion
We should agree on this point. I myself prefer to type in my own password in the form. However, if it's security reason I'm open to Rupert's suggestion.--Jkim 19:25, 27 June 2011 (CEST)
 * 1. Note: Liferay supports partly the use case at present, but does not by default allows the user to state his/her organization and the e-mail confirmation link during user registration. As far as one can see based on their development tracks, they shall delivering the functionality of the e-mail confirmation link during registration with the next release.
 * 2. Question about password. While working on mock up Rupert thought that for security reason a user password should be sent to an individual by email instead of that one enters one's own password on the registration form.
 * The system can be set-up in such a manner that a password re-set is required. As there are couple of policies that can be defined for password management, i would follow up the suggestion to send per email. Once the user loggs-in, she may be able to update own password (or would be explicitely enforced by the system to do so).--Natasa 11:23, 7 July 2011 (CEST)
