Change user password

[agey]

Hi all,

I have a frontend aplication where users can register themselfs and then access into Alfresco to work with it within their own space. I use web service to authenticate user into Alfresco so user only have to login into frontend aplication, and then redirect user to Alfresco. It works fine but when user reset his password because he forgot it, I don´t know how reset it in Alfresco. I haven't found a way to change the password without knowing the old password with web service. Change a user password without knowing the old password can be made from the administrator console, is this the only way to do it?

I would appreciate someone point me how to reset the password in Alfresco using web service or otherwise way from my frontend application.

Thanks a lot in advance,

I don't think there is a way using webservices. You have to know the old password.

If you know the old password you can change password calling

WebServiceFactory.getAdministrationService().changePassword(username, oldPassword, newPassword);‍

and if you use LDAP you should directly change password in LDAP for that user.
