Re: Some child site links - link back to the parent site when using folder mapping

Joe,

I just encountered another bug this morning with the Reset Password process.

Site Settings:

I'm in a child-site using folder mappings
I'm using email addresses to sign-in to the site
Password Format: Hashes in db/Cannot be Decrypted
All checkboxes on the Security/Main tab are checked
MSSQL Server 2000

Process:

I register for a new account and confirm via email. I sign-in once and logout. The second time I forget my password, so I follow the steps on the sign-in page to recover it. I enter my email address, answer my security question (which appears to be case-sensitive), and it sends me an email with a garbled password like this:

Your password has been reset to qI;gV%s.#un/Zr
You may change it after signing in.

So I go back to the site I registered with, enter my email and the new garbled password "qI;gV%s.#un/Zr" but it does not work. I get a "Login Failed" message. Let me know if you have time to take a look at this.

Thanks,

Mike

Re: Some child site links - link back to the parent site when using folder mapping

I recommend use Encrypted passwords instead of hashed. Hashed passwords cannot be recovered so a new random password is generated, but its poorly implemented because it really should send a link that the user would have to click before it resets the password.

Does it work different in a root site? I don't really think its related to folder sites.

btw, please help me keep the forums organized. This thread is about child sites navigating back to the parent but we have moved t other topics. Please one topic per thread so that if others ahve the same question the topic make sense vs the search results.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Some child site links - link back to the parent site when using folder mapping

Joe,

No problem. Sorry for skipping topics. I'll take the password encryption - non-hashing into consideration. Also, I figured out my hosting problem. I had tried what you said about setting the hostname with 2 separate installations Webserver 1 & Webserver 2 (using the same MSSQL database) and it didn't work the first time, but I tried it again and it worked. Not sure what I did wrong the first time. But I got it working...

My Solution in case you are interested:

www.myfirstmojoportalsite.com (Installation 1 - web.config - set to use folder mappings)

www.mysecondmojoportalsite.com (Installation 2 - web.config - set to use hostname mappings and add a hostname mapping on the site I want to become the parent site for this root i.e. - www.mysecondmojoportalsite.com - SiteID=7)

It works now!

Thanks,

Mike
