Top  Previous  Next

Security component provides a standard procedure to handle forgotten passwords.

Please follow the steps below to implement the necessary functionality.

1.Place ResetPassword element in a page
2.Place ForgotPassword element in another page. The Reset Password Page property of the element should be given the name of the page where ResetPasswordForm element is located.
3.Give a link ("Forgot Password?") from the login page to the page where the ForgotPasswordForm element is located

 

The scenario:

1.The user clicks on the "Forgot Password?" link on the login page.
2.He enters either his user name or his password and submits.
3.An email is sent to the e-mail of the user.
4.The user clicks on the link provided in the e-mail
5.The user is taken to the page where he can reset his password.

 

Note: This procedure can work successfully only if SMTP Account properties of the SecurityDomain element were specified and the user has a valid email defined in the system.
