Reset password

When a user has forgotten his/her password, a new one may be sent by email if some additional GeoMapFish configuration is provided.

In the <package>/template/*.js files, in the cgxp_login plugin you should add the service URL with the following configuration:

loginResetPasswordURL: "${request.route_url('loginresetpassword') | n}",

And to generate the required e-mail, in the vars_<package>.yaml file, add the following configuration:

# SMTP configuration could be already there if needed by other feature
smtp:
    host: smtp.example.com:465
    ssl: true
    user: <username>
    password: <password>
    starttls: false

reset_password:
    # Used to send a confirmation email
    email_from: info@camptocamp.com
    email_subject: New password generated for GeoMapFish
    email_body: |
        Hello {user},

        You have asked for an new password,
        the newly generated password is: {password}

        Sincerely yours
        The GeoMapfish team

If the SMTP host ends with a colon (:) followed by a number, and there is no port specified, that suffix will be stripped off and the number interpreted as the port number to use.

Replace the smtp.example.com value by a working SMTP server name.
