that reset_pw api call is a pl/sql procedure just
like any other. sure you could call it from a link,
but you'd probably want your user to end up somewhere
after they click it. a nice way to do it would be to
have your link pop up a confirmation window. when
your user confirms the desire to reset his password,
you should have that window call our api and close
itself. you can find tips/directions for
implementing that kind of popup functionality all
over this forum an in how-to docs like...
http://otn.oracle.com/products/database/htmldb/howtos/
how_to_create_custom_popups.html
...or you could simply code a wrapper around our api
that redirects your users to a URL of your choosing
like so...
create or replace procedure my_logout_link as
begin
wwv_flow_fnd_user_API.reset_pw('SCOTT',:WORKSPACE_ID,'
personalized message to scott about his password');
htp.init;
owa_util.redirect_url
('f?p=&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID:&APP_SESSION.');
end;
...and then you'd just grant execute on that
procedure to htmldb_public_user. after that, you
could have your reset url link go to a target like
"my_schema.my_logout_link", and things should work
fine.
hope this helps,
rajI tried using wwv_flow_fnd_user_API.reset_pw and I keep getting an error message telling me that it doesn't exist or it must be declared etc. Am I missing something here?
Thanks in advance.
