create user in Self sign up API in WSO2 version 6.0

Question

Under Self Sign-up API https://is.docs.wso2.com/en/latest/apis/use-the-self-sign-up-rest-apis/#/ we are calling /me POST API for creating the user and we are getting response as 201 created and we are not getting response like this

{
  "code": "USR-02007",
  "message": "successful user self registration",
  "notificationChannel": "EMAIL"
}

what is going wrong here what is causing issue here?

Answer 1

When you are using the self-registration REST APIs if you wish to get detailed responses add the following config to the <IS-HOME>/repository/conf/deployment.toml file and restart the server. (Responses are enabled based on config in order to support backward compatibility). Anyway, this config should be updated in the REST API docs.

[identity_mgt.user_self_registration]
enable_detailed_api_response = true

If the config is not enabled, there is no response body and the response status code would be 201.

Answer 2

You can add the following configuration to the deployment.toml to enable more detailed self-registration API responses.

[identity_mgt.user_self_registration]
enable_detailed_api_response = true

Also, note that the existing registration pages do not support these API responses. You need to have a custom UI or improve the existing UI to support the new response model. Before trying this configuration, refer to the following docs, since these improvements were done for a more complex use case.

• https://is.docs.wso2.com/en/5.11.0/learn/multi-channel-self-registration-and-account-confirmation/

I have written several articles on this use case. Following are some of them.
