Improvement of Mail-Domain Filter for Self-Registration

1 Requirements

The new mail-domain filter in ILIAS 4.3 helps admins to restrict self-registration to users with e-mail adresses from specific mail domains. While its wildcard syntax makes it quite flexible it falls short in a screnario where a large number of subdomains should be allowed (without the availability of an authoritative list of those) but a specific subset of those subdomains should explicitly be excluded.
 
To mend this we’d like to add an optional "negative" filter in ILIAS 4.4 to the "positive" filter 4.3 offers.
 
That would allow for the following (exemplary) filtering scenario:
 
Allow self-registration with mail addresses from:
*@zendas.de;*@hlrs.de;*@*uni-stuttgart.de
 
(Explicitly) disallow (in addition to those not included in the above list) from:
*@stud*.uni-stuttgart.de;*@cip*.uni-stuttgart.de

3 Discussion

JF 18 Feb 2013: We appreciate this extension and schedule it for 4.4. The info text of the options should include a more complex example.

Matthias Kunkel, 04 Nov 2013: Postponed to 4.5 due to missing resources.
