forgot password link in portal logon page

[Former Member]

Goodmorning all,

Can anyone tell steps how to add an option forgot password link in the portal logon page by which he can recover the password.

when ever he clicks on the forgot password link he has to redirect to a page in which he can enter his employee number.

Internally the employee number should map with an email id to which the the user will receive the password.

The correct answer will be awarded with 10 points

Best regards,

Sam.

Suman,

Its possible to have the forgotpassword link in the portal logom page. This can be acheive through customization com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par file.

1. Download the file from EP System admin -> suppport -> support desk -> portal runtime -> browse deployment -> ROOT/WEB-INF/deployment/temp -> download the com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par.bak -> change extention into .par

2. Import the file into NWDS with the same name

3. add the umelogonbase.jar , com.sap.portal.usermapping_api.jar, com.sap.portal.htmlbbridge.jar in the lib folder of your project (you can get this jar by extracting the jar file)

4. You can modify the umLogonProblemPage.jsp according to your requirement other wise have a seperate jsp for your requirement

5. If you wan to have a seperate JSP then you have add the JSP entry in a properties file of UME Logonbase.jar. The name of the properties file is LogonPages.properteis.

6. And the flow & Navigation logic is written in SAPMLogonLogic.java file. which is available in umelogonbase.jar

7. Modify the umLogonpage.jsp to add the link for you page

8. Export into Portal

9. I suggest you to study/analyze the logon par file and do the changes. Because this is a sensitive par meaning if any problem then noone can login into portal.

Suman,

Also you can follow these for safety Instructions,

• Always have a original backup of Logon par file

• Import the logon file into NWDS and change the name except the standard file name. Because when you deploy the file with different wont affect the original logon par file and you can deploy.

• Before you deploy the application, you have another lportal loggedin with admin access. If any problem in the logon page. then you can upload the original one using system admin.

Hi,

SAP portal provided Out of box funtionality , i think you can use it in your scenario , or else you can use UME API to code and make the screen.

1. Navigate to offlineconfigtool /usr/sap/<intance name> >/JC<instanceno>/j2ee/configtool

2. Navigate to clusterdataserver-cfgservices.

3.look for com.sap.security.core.ume.service.

4.click on edit and look for the propertyume.logon.logon.help make it as true.

Save and restart the portal

thanks

Hi Suman,

It will work as long as we will follow the right settings, why dont you try and check . If it does not work then we always have an option custom development.
