Forget Password Option in Enterprise Portal

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a specific requirement regarding the "Forget Password" link (used to retrive the portal login password).

The user needs to fill up his/her first name, last name, zip code, birthday and his primary email address first before being provided with the security question. If he/she answers the above information correctly then only the security question should come up.

Can you pleas inform me how this can be implemented using the standard features of EP.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Sudip

Hi,

ts 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. Pls. do only the necessary and desired changes in this par.

Thank you for the reply.

But as we need to validate the ZIP Code and date of birth before showing the security question to the user.

This means we need to save the ZIP code and date of birth in the system.

Is it possible to save them in portal.

We checked in SDN, it does not ask for date of birth and ZIP code during registration.

Thanks,

Sudip

Hi Sudip,

For the specific requirement, you need to build custom function module/use existing for varifying zip code or DOB.

You can develop custom web dynpro application using UME API and link to logon page in the portal for forget password.

For modifying com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par, please refer to the Shailesh recommendations.

HOpe this will helps you.

Thanks
