Hi!

Is there a way to present OLAT forgot password functionality without having users navigate to the  OLAT login page?

We'd like to embed a url in our own, custom web page, and when the user click on it, they would be presented directly with   the "forgot password" window.

Ideally, once they had completed the forgot password process we'd like a way  to navigate them back to our own site.


Thanks!

Graham Conway

Hi Graham

You can replace the URL from the community server with your domain name, the link stays the same. 

The second thing: navigating back to your site: this is not possible, you have to implement your own password reset process to do this. 

Cheers
Florian

Hi Florian,

Thanks for getting back to me. and thanks for the link.

Out of interest, is the user authenticated at this point?

We don't wish to navigate automatically to our course, i think it would be sufficient to provide a url so the user can be taken to our course login page.


So we were hoping there would be a way  to change the button that says "Please click here to logon",
Ideally we'd like to substitute (or add next to it ) our own url and our own button text.

thanks,

Graham

HI Florian,

The link works great.

Thank-you.

By any chance, is there a way to pre-fill the email address field?
( by passing it as a parameter on the url string or something like that?)

thanks,


Graham

Hi Graham

You could customize the test on the button using the language adaption tool (this is available in the admin site). Search for the term "Please click here to logon“.

Hi Graham

Actually there is a better way by using the business path URL and the activation method in the OLATAuthenticationController. There you can predefine the mail address: 

https://{YOUSERVER}/url/changepw/0/{EMAIL}/0

Cheers

HI Florian, 

Thanks, that’s great. I hadn’t found that feature yet in my explorations, so had been changing the properties in the source code tree and rebuilding. 

This is certainly quicker.

Yes, it is quicker plus the real advantage is that language customization is stored in your olatdata and is treated as user data. This means that updating to a newer OpenOLAT version is a snap: just replace the war file with the new one, no need to merge or re-apply your canged language keys.

Cheers
Florian
