Reset user password request¶
General information¶
The “Reset User Password Request” step is designed for generating a new password for the user. The step works in conjunction with the “Send Templated Notification” to ensure that users receive a new password. The step only works if you have an application domain with a configured public URI.
Parameters¶
Step Settings:
| Setting Field | Value Options | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Step name | - | Name of the step |
| Source step | - | Selecting the previous step |
| User info field | - | A field that contains information about the user |
| User name | - | Username for whom the password is being reset |
| Client for request | - | Client or application that initiates the authentication request |
Cases¶
- User Access Recovery: Used in scripts where a user has forgotten their password and needs to reset it to re-access the system.
Exceptions¶
- Requirement for an Application Domain with a Public URI: The step requires a configured application domain with a public URI for it to work correctly.
- Dependency on User Notification Method: The effectiveness of the step depends on the reliability and availability of the user notification method, such as email, used for sending a new password.
