External link without authentication

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

Currently, I have came across request from our client ,They need task similarly to forgotten password reset task but with no authentication just for one repository.

More elaborated, If user forget password , He will goto the link , submits unique id  & new password is send over to his email.

Would like hear more inputs on this.

Hi Ali,

You create a task with task access control as anonymous, so that any user can access this particular task directly through the link.

In the task, filed to provide the username along with the submit button. When the anonymous user provides the username and submits, trigger the reset password task such a way that it will reset the password for the user on that particular repository and send it over mail.

The repository for which this has to be enabled can be hard coded in the script

All the best !!

Dear Krishna/Matt,

Thanks for your's inputs...

I have build custom script to generate password depending upon the password policy , The system is Enterprise Portal.

I was planning for To Generic pass with auto generated password from other script & use Uset,Uprovision function to set password.

Please , Provide yours inputs on this.

Hi Ali,

Yes, for me your approach looks fine. I recommend you to enable error logging in your scripts, so that it will be easy for you to trouble shoot in case of any issues.

All the best !!

Ali,

Sorry I did not get back to you sooner.

I think Krishna is correct.  You would need to create a custom task with anonymous access that would then need to pass the new password.  The main issue would be how to set the new password in the target system.  You'd need to have some sort of administrator access to set a new password in a Directory Service or Database.

What is the system?

Thanks,

Matt
