Invitation links show registration step when registration link is disabled

[ayr-ton]

Description:

Currently, the registration link is disabled and it's available only via OAuth provider.

Via the normal login page https://chat.example.com it's not showing as expected, but when I send an invitation link to someone it appears.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add an OAuth provider
2. Disable all the other authentication/registration methods
3. Send an invitation link to someone

Expected behavior:

To see the login via oauth provider only, like the main login page:

Actual behavior:

I'm seeing the login and a registration link right below:

I had look at this issue - it seems that registration is allowed on the invite page when there is a valid secret URL regardless of the registration enabled value. Is this intentional?

[rasos]

If the secret login URL is disabled, then any invite link points to the home page. If your server is configured for anonymous read, then the home page is being shown. At that point invited users are lost, because they expected to see the channel they have been invited to. The y need to find the small login button top left and after successful registration would need to click on the invite link again, they had got.

I am also just wondering, why there is no simple way to generate an invite link to chat with me. It seems I first have to create a direct messages group.

Please check the versions. This issue is very old - Rocket.Chat Server: 3.5.4

We are on 6.12.x

Please test on latest code that there is still a bug, and after check that the teams want it worked on.
