How to create forgot password feature

How can I create a "Forgot Password" link on the apex login screen that asks for users email address or userID and resets their password to a random one and emails it to them..

I think we took the wrong path, that wont work out. I was looking at the APIs and found that we can change the user at run time.
I think this should work..
1. create login page as public
2. In case password reset, grab the user name and change the current user as any admin user using the API Procedure SET_USER( p_user IN VARCHAR2)
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31036_01/doc/appdev.22/b28550/api.htm#BABIBIBH
3. Now that you have the admin user , you know the current user's ID and you know the API to change the password for a particular user
APEX_UTIL.RESET_PW(
p_user IN VARCHAR2,
p_msg IN VARCHAR2);
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/apirefs.32/e13369/apex_util.htm#insertedID69
I think these if you work around these steps you could build change password fuctionality.
Thanks,
Manish

  • How to create a password file for executing psadmin command to deploy portl

    how to create a password file for executing psadmin command to deploy portlet

    What you have done is perfectly right. The password file doesn't have anything else apart from the password
    for example in your case
    $echo password > /tmp/password.txt
    However I remember that in windows install, the Application server used to wait for a user's input when a deploy was to be done for the first time. So Can you read the Release notes or the Readme file which has come with windows.
    The solution was,
    manually use asadmin command of application server to deploy some war (any webapp will do), at this time, a question will be prompted to accept a certificate. once this is done, deploy portlet should work fine!!!

  • How to create a password for the pdf file

    In Adore Acrobat XI, how to create a password for the file? The help states going to Tools Menu and clicking on Protection tab - but there is no such option. In the file - properties - security screen, it shows the security details but does not allow to edit it.

    I think you may be mixing up two different products: Adobe Reader (free), and Acrobat ($$).

  • How to create mail merge(feature in word) in adobe pdf and programmatically find and replace these t

    I am very new to adobe.I am required to do the following and am very confused.The scenario is as follows:
    I am required to create a letter template (using adobe designer) where name and few other details will be tags(which needs to be replaced by actual values according to the particular customer later on).We can create such a feature in word using mail merge feature available there.How do we do the same in pdf??Can it be done using adobe designer 7.0???If so,how?
    After I create this template,I am required to write a javascript or a VB program to access this pdf template and find and replace these tags with the actual values and generate a pdf document.Somebody told me that this is to be done using adobe document server(ADS). Can this be done??If so,how?If not what is the alternative product in adobe?
    There are so many adobe products that i am totally at sea and not able to figure out which to use and how.
    Please help me at the very earliest.
    Thanks in advance.

    Let me thank u for a prompt reply but I guess I still need ur help before I accomplish what I set out to do.
    As per your reply I used Forms API in my vb program and it is accessing the fields but I am not able to change the property of the fields.
    I created the pdf form using adobe designer 7.0 and have created a floating field which I want to populate using my code.This is invisible in the pdf template but I when I set the value for it using vb code I need to change its property to visible.
    But when I try to change the "NoViewFlag" property, I get an error as follows:
    Runtime error'-2147220988(80040204)
    Document's Security Settings prohibit the operation being performed
    Please give your suggestions.
    2.Another question is how do I differentiate floating text field and ordinary text field in vb code because the type of both is displayed as text ??
    Thanks again.
    regards,
    Sowmya
    I am putting my code below for ur viewing.

Is it possible to provide a simple solution to "Forgot Password" similar to gmail/yahoo mail or facebook in Apex. procedures like Reset password, change_current_pw and edit user are not really useful for the task.

    Question:
    1) How do i create a link in portal header just beside the logout link?
    2) Is there any default change password page for Sap Netweaver Portal that I can use for this purpose?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    To get the change password link beside logout, get the masthead PAR file from portal, import into your NWDS, make the changes in the JSP and upload PAR file back to portal. Search with keyword "Masthead customization" in SDN. You will get many documents to achieve.
    SAP has password change functionality available. Chekc the link below for details.

    An easy way to password-protect certain folders
    To password protect a specific folder in any version of OS X, if you're an administrator, simply change the permissions in the "Get Info" box so that the folder is owned by the system. You'll be prompted for a password. To access the folder again, just change the ownership back - and it will require a password to be made accessible.
    Secret Folder lets you conceal a folder and its contents.

  • How to creat a password for a HTML link ?

    Hello,dear all,
    This question may not be closely related to Java,but I hope to get some help.
    I created an HTML link in the webpage, but I only want the people who has the password to access it. Say when a person click that link, a dialog box pop up requiring for your password.
    How should I implement it? using JavaScript ?
    Any help are greatly appreciated.
    Kevin

    There's a very simple and very nasty way of restricting access to pages. Put them in a folder named after the password. Your javascript can then just do something like:
    document.location.href = document.loginForm.pword.value + "/index.html";It's a mess and obviously requires that your parent directory can't be browsed. But, it's about as good as it gets with Javascript and requires zero effort.
    If you're serious about security then I'd look at something other than Javascript (as suggested above).
