You can have a trigger on the contact objec t which check for duplicates, and in case duplicate are fould an error can be raised and the user adequately alerted.

I think the question was more about how to attach the existing Contact to the new user record if it already exists when the portal user is registering - throwing an error wouldn't allow the user to complete the registration.

 

We've tried setting the ContactId field on the new User record, but SF appears to ignore it and creates another Contact.  

 

Has anyone has success in attaching exsting Contacts during new user registration?
