                 Key: GTNPORTAL-2293
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/GTNPORTAL-2293
             Project: GateIn Portal
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
            Reporter: Matt Wringe


a couple of things which should be changed with how the forgot username/password is handled

1) there should be something in the log about the email service not being setup when a user tries to get their password reset. Currently all the pops up is a message saying "Can't Send Email", this doesn't help determine why the server can't send the email.

2) if the email service is currently not configured, instead of making the user enter their username or email, they should be displayed with an error message right away when they click to reset their email/password. The "Can't send email" message is not clear if there is something wrong with the users account (ie thats not the email or username they used to register with) or if they just need to try again or at a later time.
