[opencms-dev] forgot password - reset passsword

[Ahmed M.]

Hi Kareem,
 
Because passwords are stored hashed, there's no way to get the plain-text
password, and therefore you're only left with "reset password" as opposed to
"retrieve password."
 
I'm no OpenCms expert, but I'm guessing you'll need to use setPassword()
[1]. Perhaps one of the gurus can share/point to a module that already
implements that?
 
Hope that helps,
Ahmed

Hi all,

 

Could someone explain to me how to implement forgot my password feature or
reset my password. I can use readuser method on the CmsObject and get the
CmsUser but when I call getPassword() it returns to me the decrypted
password, which I can do nothing with it.

 

 

Thanks,

Kareem
