How to implement “forgotten password” functionality

Your application may need to provide the “forgotten password” functionality. Usually this functionality asks the user one or more security questions and then compares their answers with predefined values. Then the system either tells/e-mails the password to the user or asks them to provide the new password. It is entirely up to you how you want to handle this. In order to define the forgotten password functionality you need to do the following:

  1. Define a process that would handle this functionality – ask the user the security questions, compare answers, set new password etc
  2. Tick the “Handles forgotten password” functionality checkbox when defining the process
  3. Use the login form that includes the link that invokes the “forgotten process” functionality. The name of the predefined form is login2.html. Alternatively you can provide your own login form and include the link to the following URL:
logonFP.aw?domain=YourBusinessSpaceName 

The link will automatically start the process that is marked as “handles forgotten password” functionality.
