Hello,

I have been playing around with the ldap authentication feature since the latest changes that allowed us to continue using the local authentication as well as falling back to ldap.  This feature is working for me but the problem I'm having is with the password recovery e-mail for local accounts.  When I try to recover a password I have to type the userID instead of an e-mail even though it says please enter your e-mail address.  It will actually say when I enter the e-mail address that the User Name not found.  When it asks me the password question and I enter answer it returns a response "You did not enter the correct answer".  At this point I'm dead in the water and will not be able to use LDAP because I also have local users that need password recovery.

I assume password recovery does not work for LDAP users but those users will only be employees so it's easier to train them to user our school's central password recovery application.

I currently have these two keys added to my  user.config and additionally I have port 636 defined on the ldap config page.

 <add key="UseSSLForLDAP" value="true" />
 <add key="UseLDAPFallbackAuthentication" value="true" />

Thanks for any help that can be provided.

Hi Joe,

Thanks so much for getting back to me quickly. I checked the system settings security tab and "Use Email for Sign In?" is not checked. It won't even allow me to check it which I assume is by design. However, before I enabled LDAP it was checked and users were logging in with their e-mail address.  As a test I unchecked the enable LDAP check box and then found that the "Use Email for Sign In?" was checked again.  I unchecked it and then saved the settings and then went back and re-enabled LDAP.  Not the e-mail password recovery sends an e-mail as it should but unfortunately the password that it e-mails does not allow the user to log in.  I have tried the several times and the only way I can get the user to log back in is by changing the password in the manage user area.  I am using the hashed in db password format.

Hi Joe,

The problem is I have tried two different accounts, one created today, and in both cases the auto-generated password that gets e-mailed does not work.  The error when trying to log in says "Login failed!".
