LL::NG can propose a password reset form, for users who loose their password (this kind of application is also called a self service password interface).
Kinematics:
User enters his email in the password reset form
LL::NG try to find the user in users database
A mail with a token is sent to user
The user click on the link in the mail
LL::NG validate the token and set a random password
The random password is sent to user
If
LDAP backend is used, and
LDAP password policy is enabled, the
pwdReset
flag is set to TRUE, so that the user is forced to change his password on next connection.
The reset password link must be activated, see portal customization.
