Creation of a link for the first access of a new user without give the user a password and forcing

This post could be useful if you want to give to a user a link for access your portal, without the need of a password, and then force him to create a password at his fist login. You can, for example, send an email after the sign up with a link that allows the user change its password.

Steps:

• Create your user

• Define the parameter:

• PLATFORM_BASE_URL (you can find it in 4WS.Platform), in this case: http://testing.sinesy.it/platformpicktour/ Note: this parameter is also needed for the forgotten password function.

• Create you link in this way:

var rtk = utils.getEncodedRtk("applicationId=" + APPLICATION_ID + "&companyId=" + COMPANY_ID + "&siteId=" + SITE_ID + "&username=" + USER_ID + "&password=" + PASSWORD + "&forgotpwd=Y" + "&appTitle=" + APP_TITLE);



var firstLoginUrl = utils.getParameter("PLATFORM_BASE_URL");
firstLoginUrl += '/4ws/index_app.jsp?rtk=';
firstLoginUrl += rtk;

Notes:

• The following parameters specified in the function must be the new user ones

• APPLICATION_ID

• COMPANY_ID,

• SITE_ID

• USER_ID

• PASSWORD

• APP_TITLE

• In this case a temporary password for the user was manually generated and sent by email.
