I agree with you Mike. Every week I get couple of mails from Gmail and FB telling me that I had requested to rest my password and click on a link to confirm the request and I simply ignore such mails as I know I never asked to change my password. Imagine, if Gmail changes my password every time

BJ, I fail to see how this could possibly be a feature. Right now, I'm at the level where I fiddle around with the code. As a new user, should I be expected to have to review the code to see if it stands up to security standards? I don't know much, but I do know when something isn't right, and t

Thanks Ruth. Sounds like you tweaked the system to prevent this admin reset issue. I would think that the password reset should only apply to ecommerce customers. Sounds like a code change will be required. On Sat, Jul 30, 2011 at 1:24 PM, Ruth Hoffman wrote: > Hi Mike: > Not sure if there is

Sorry for the late response (vacation). I understand what you saying that it is not a good idea to use generic or group accounts as much as possible.. However, it should not be so easy for users of an ERP to shoot themselves in the foot. This sounds like a gaping security hole, or at least a major

looking at the current trunk the login, checks the party then looks in contactmech for the Primary Email address. The contact Primary Email address set in the party is used to put the incoming emails into that party or party group. so if you have a party group of Sales, you should associate the emp

Hi Mike: Not sure if there is a way to turn this off, but on my 9.04 production system I changed the default code so that the admin user had to be logged in as admin before the password is reset. I also changed the way the forgot password works...basically my implementation ignores requests to

put a flag on the login entity, canresetpassword. it is only set true when the customer loging is first created.

There must be something more. Any organization would have generic logins, like "sales", or it would be easy to guess employee logins from the "about us" page. It makes sense that the password reset should be intended ONLY for customers, not (any) system-type login. I would think that the passwor
