When I create a new customer using the "New customer? Continue" button, and submit the form, the new entry in the customers database table shows customers_type=2, and not customers_type=0 (Registered) as I expected. As a result, I am unable to see the new customer in the Customers page in the admin application, and am also unable to log in as the newly created customer.
How do I configure or use the application such that a newly created customer defaults to a registered customer (type=0) instead of a customer registered during checkout as a guest (type=2)?
I think I see the problem now. In the CustomerRegistrationSubmitAction, the allowNoRegister setting is applied creating a customer with a random password, even if a new user is trying to register normally, instead of during checkout. It seems as if there should be a way to handle both situations of normal registration and during-checkout registration.
