Webuserlogin - Forgot his password - Reset password

Reply with Quote

Hello,

i have a webuser login section and now i need a way, to reset the password and send it to the users email.

When i am not logged in, i can view all user details via

 			CmsUser loadUser = cmsObject.readUser(paramUserName);

But i cant do


cmsObject.setPassword(paramUserName,newPassword);

because i get an exception


org.opencms.security.CmsRoleViolationException

It makes sence, because a guest normally shouldnt be able to change does things, but now i need to do this.

What is the right way to get this solved?

thanks
hanuchin

Hi,

One possibility is to store a CmsObject with admin credentials and use this object for changing the password. You can get an admin CmsObject when you register a I_CmsModuleAction. You can store it using OpenCms.setRuntimeProperty(java.lang.Object key, java.lang.Object value)

Hi,

this is an example of a module action implementation. You create a class like this.


public class ModuleAction implements I_CmsModuleAction {

    /**
     * @see  org.opencms.module.I_CmsModuleAction#initialize(org.opencms.file.CmsObject,org.opencms.configuration.CmsConfigurationManager,
     *       org.opencms.module.CmsModule)
     */
    public void initialize(CmsObject cms, CmsConfigurationManager configManager, CmsModule module) {

        try {
            cms.getRequestContext().setCurrentProject(cms.readProject("Offline"));
            cms.getRequestContext().setSiteRoot("/sites/default");
        } catch (CmsException ex) {
            log.error("", ex);
        }

        OpenCms.setRuntimeProperty(Constants.ATTRIBUTE_NAME_ADMIN_CMS_OBJECT, cms);
    }


    /**
     * @see  org.opencms.module.I_CmsModuleAction#moduleUninstall(org.opencms.module.CmsModule)
     */
    public void moduleUninstall(CmsModule arg0) {

        // NOOP
    }


    /**
     * @see  org.opencms.module.I_CmsModuleAction#moduleUpdate(org.opencms.module.CmsModule)
     */
    public void moduleUpdate(CmsModule arg0) {

        // NOOP
    }


    /**
     * @see  org.opencms.module.I_CmsModuleAction#publishProject(org.opencms.file.CmsObject,org.opencms.db.CmsPublishList,
     *       int, org.opencms.report.I_CmsReport)
     */
    public void publishProject(CmsObject arg0, CmsPublishList arg1, int arg2, I_CmsReport arg3) {

        // NOOP
    }


    /**
     * @see  org.opencms.module.I_CmsModuleAction#shutDown(org.opencms.module.CmsModule)
     */
    public void shutDown(CmsModule arg0) {

        // NOOP
    }


    /**
     * event lifecycle
     * @param  event
     */
    public void cmsEvent(CmsEvent event) {

        // NOOP
    }
}

Afterwards, in your module, you register the classname with package structure in the module administration (Administration/Module Management/Choose your module/Edit Module) in the field Action Class (e.g. com.synyx.ModuleAction).

Then you can access the CmsObject, which has Admin rights set, from anywhere inside of your application like this:


CmsObject cms = (CmsObject) OpenCms.getRuntimeProperty(Constants.ATTRIBUTE_NAME_ADMIN_CMS_OBJECT)
