Enable portal users to reset their own password

[Former Member]

Dear Forum,

I want our users to be able to reset their own password in our portal solution (NW7.01). I tried to add "pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/general/com.sap.portal.eu_role" but it gives too many options, users should not be able to change their name only password. I thought about changing UME parameters "UME Manage_My_Password

UME Manage_My_Profile" But I am in doubt where to change this in VA. I guess some security settings also apply (lenght, digits, capital letters etc) which should be in the security tab?

I hope someone can elaborate.

Thanks in advance,

Kind Regards,

Soren

Whats your UME datasource? You may want to check attached link for the custom application.

Hi Manoj,

UME parameters are in visual admin of the java stack - not sure if this was what you were asking. i was hoping that there was a parameter I could set which would apply a additional button on login screen where you could reset your password, or maybe do it from the portal / personal settings yourself.

I am not much into programming web dynpro tools, so I think ill try to see if I could find a way to enable "forgot your password?" on the login page where you can mail a new password for yourself.

Thanks tho for the link, its much appreciated!

Kind Regards,

Soren
