    Hi,

    
      
        Yes you are definitely right regarding hacking. Our company
          aim exactly is to make sure that there is only one sponsor
          email address. I have edited the HTML code and I have set the
          sponsor email by default to point to only one email address. 
        

        
        Since you are mentioning this its important to ask you
          something. Is it worth making the sponsor email greyed out
          (that is cannot be changed) or else edit the configuration
          file to make sure that only one email address is allowed?
      
    
    
      
        

        
        For simplicity we only want [email protected] to be the only
          sponsor email address. We can either grey that out in the HTML
          code or make sure that it is the only one set in the sponsor
          email address. In your case which do you think is the most
          secure? Thanks
      
    
    I would definitely do both :) Greyed out field with the email
    hardcoded (so users can see the sponsor email without being able to
    modify it), and code modifications to ensure the "it" user is the
    only one allowed to sponsor.

    

    
      
        

        
        Regards,
        Matthew

              In the local.pm file
                (conf/authentication), there is a sub called : 
isAllowedToSponsorGuests

                

                Do you have any errors in the log files?

                

                Using local authentication when doing sponsor is a bit
                hackish, the domain part of the email address is
                stripped before validation, but the email is sent to the
                email you put in the form :S  I would suggest you use
                LDAP instead, that would be much less hackish :)

                Hi Francois,
                  

                  
                  Thanks for your response.
                  

                  
                  In the admin guide, sponsor_authentication is set
                    to local which in my case its the same too. The
                    local users are found in user.conf file. In fact in
                    the admin guide under Flat File, there is written
                    that local users need to have a password set with
                    htpasswd (for user.conf file) and that's exactly
                    what I have done. 
                  

                  
                  Unfortunately, when I try to register via a
                    sponsor, the same error is coming up all the time
                    and don't know what I am doing wrong. If the sponsor
                    email address is located in user.conf, why does the
                    system not allowing such user to be a sponsor?
                  

                  
                  Regards,
                  Matthew

                      guests_managers.conf
                        have nothing to do with sponsor... read the
                        admin guide again.

                        

                        Look at page 54, there is an example config.

                        Hi,
                          

                            
                          Reference to my last post:
                          

                            
                          I
                                want to add Sponsors that are able to
                                authorize guest access. I have
                                added a sponsor in guest-managers.conf
                                but when I try to sign up with
                                a user via Sponsor email, I receive an
                                error "Email <e-mail> is not
                                allowed to sponsor guest access". Why is
                                this so please? How can I add
                                guest_managers?
                          

                            
                          I am still not able to do such
                            configuration. Help will be greatly
                            appreciated. Thank you
