Recover password issues.

1. If I set "Allow Password Retrieval" in site settings to false and manually go to /secure/recoverpassword.aspx, I can see the page. When trying to recover the password, an unhandled exception is thrown.

2. When all the site settings are correct, but mail server settings are not set properly when I try to recover password both "password was sent" and "password not sent" messages are displayed.

Re: Recover password issues.

Ok, I've coded some changes that should fix these. I'll commit in a little while.

Thanks,

Re: Recover password issues.

1. In general it works now. But if I know how, I can still see the same unhandled exception (need 2 tabs or browser windows):

- Turn password retrieval on in site settings
- Go to /secure/recoverpassword.aspx
- Turn password retrieval off in site settings (in a different browser window)
- Try to recover password on the page opened earlier in this scenario

 

2 - still the same problem.

Re: Recover password issues.

Ok, I made a typo fixing #2 I have it fixed here and will commit soon.

For #1 can you tell me the specific exception thrown?

Thanks,

Joe

Re: Recover password issues.

ok, I've added code to try and catch this error and re-direct to home page instead.

Can you tell me if it works?

Thanks,

Joe

Re: Recover password issues.

Duplicate message is fixed.

The solution with catching the exception by message does not work in my environment: I have .Net framework language pack installed, so I have localized framework error messages.

P.S. As far as I remember, you use the same approach somewhere in global.asax. That also will fail in this case.

Re: Recover password issues.

I wish they raised a specific membership exception instead of an HttpException, it doesn't seem right to catch every HttpException there so I was trying to check the message but localized error messages throws it off.

I'll ponder about it, if you have any suggestions let me know.

Changing that site setting should be an infrequent event but it would be nice to not have a user see this error just because they happened to be trying to recover their password at the very moment this setting is changed. I don't see it as a huge problem but if we can think of a reasonable easy solution it would be nice.

Thanks,

Joe

Re: Recover password issues.

I suppose, in this particular case you can check this setting somewhere in page_preinit so that the code never executes when the feature is disabled.
