Resetting passwords through e-mail

To reset a password:

• Invoke the API requestPasswordReset with the attribute ResetType as Email:

  <ResetPassword UserKey="" ResetType="Email"> 
     <User Loginid=""/> 
  </ResetPassword>

• The ResetType is passed to the allowPasswordReset() method of IPasswordPolicyForReset interface. If the ResetType is blank, password reset is not allowed. The API generates a random character set and stores it as RequestId. The RequestId is passed to RESET_PASSWORD.ON_REQUEST event. The event RESET_PASSWORD.ON_REQUEST is triggered once a password reset is requested. If the attribute ResetType is set to Email for the given user ID, then the RequestId is sent to the user through e-mail.
• The changePassword API must be called to reset or change the actual password.
