[jboss-user] [JBoss Portal] - Re: Access UserModule from a portlet when not authenticated

ok...got it to work...here is how I did it using JSF... Get the userModule through JNDI | | userModule = (UserModule) new InitialContext().lookup("java:portal/UserModule"); | | Get the user by using its user id....NOT user name.... DO THIS | | User test = userModule.findUserById(id); | | DO NOT DO THIS | | User test = userModule.findUserByUserName("admin"); | | I basically wrote a simple Hibernate service layer to get the user id after a email is given and the answer to the secret question is correct. Then, create a new password and change it | | test.updatePassword(newpassword); | | Then fire an email off to the user with their new password. I used ... | | Session session = (Session) new InitialContext().lookup("java:Mail"); | | That is configured through the deploy/mail-service.xml file. The Forums Portlet uses the same service POOF! I now have a self managed user password system...AKA..."Forgot My Password" link Indy View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4070663#...
