Template not working for me - Change Web Security Password

[Steve Wood]

I am sure many of you are using the ChangePassword UX template. I cannot make it work. I have ensured I have removed password validation other than password length, for testing. It always comes back with "Invalid Data Supplied" with clearly valid data.

Crazy that security system update that AA pushed out - I've started working on mine with integrated CRM functionality similar to ZOHO's style. The thought that any Admin (option) user can reset a users password and know what it is or set as (without the user knowing) is a total lack of of Governance in my view and should be avoided, can't think of any real business or Admin allowing that - ever . Sorry can't help with Alpha's template.

That's why I always liked rolling my own as well so I always know who to blame and what to do.

In testing (eight hour so far):

• This validates my password entry is accurate: a5ws_RevalidatePassword(currentpassword)
• and this fails every time as though my new password is invalid: a5ws_ChangeLoggedInUserPassword(currentpassword,newpassword ,confirmpassword, request, session)

[Steve Wood]

Well, I cannot make it work so I will have to go back to my own method. At least I can now validate that the users entered password is correct with the a5ws_RevalidatePassword() function. But the other functions that change the password are not working, acting like the entry does not pass validation.

Lets have a chat in a few days when I'm clear of what's on my desk, this is what I want to do on the IADN as a Zoom, I have a full package.

You can always tell I did not do a proper job of testing when I say "I have spent eight hours" on something and "I am sure it does not work". The password template works fine out of the box! I am not positive but I think my failure was to not publish 'all changed' files to my server. In my case, I need to publish to localhost, and then copy-paste up to the server.

Nice promo. So it worked all you need needed to do was..

to publish to localhost, and then copy-paste up to the server.

- sounds great.

In this case, I always pub to local and copy-paste up to the server. But that method can lead to not copying _all_ of the published files to the server every time.
