&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One approach is to block/redirect the url from web server or check by
  using filter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards&lt;/p&gt;</summary>

    <summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;on our Liferay Platform (Liferay CE Portal 7.3.5 CE GA6) we have
  unchecked the option &amp;quot;Allow strangers to create accounts&amp;quot;
  (in Liferay Control Panel/Configuration/Instance Settings/User Authentication).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nevertheless a stranger can open the account creation form by using
  this URL:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;https://liferay-domain/web/guest/search?p_p_id=com_liferay_login_web_portlet_LoginPortlet&amp;amp;p_p_lifecycle=0&amp;amp;p_p_state=maximized&amp;amp;p_p_mode=view&amp;amp;saveLastPath=false&amp;amp;_com_liferay_login_web_portlet_LoginPortlet_mvcRenderCommandName=%2Flogin%2Fcreate_account&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The form does not work (after the form has been submitted, no user is
  created and an error message is displayed instead).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is it possible to completely hide the account creation form for strangers?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any help is very much appreciated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Florian &lt;/p&gt;</summary>
