Users can not change their own password after forgot password link is reveived

Server
1

I have a user who cannot change their password after requesting a password reset via the forgot password button.

The user gets the email, press the link and it takes them to the URL something like this (Please use the following link to reset your password: https://insdevcloud.icednetworks.info/index.php/lostpassword/reset/form/uu6V6jiqfQub77mESYihA/testuser)
The user type in his new password but nothing happens it just keeps repeating the cycle. and remains on the same page.

Steps to reproduce

Don’t know if this can be reproduced but here goes.

  1. try to login using a wrong password.
  2. the forgot password link should then appear (“forgot your password” reset it!")
    image
  3. user received and email with the url link to press
    image
    image1042×182 7.66 KB
  4. click the url, take you to the passwords reset page
    image
  5. user enter new passowrd, presses the "Reset Password’ button but nothing happens.
    System does not reset password remains on this page.

I am NOT USING LDAP, this is all internal OC users .

Expected behaviour

Once the new password has been entered, the password should be updated ( provided it meets the password policy standards) in this case it did.
take user to the login screen so they can log in.

Actual behaviour

Nothing happens remain on the reset password page and does not reset password.

Reading the logs I suppose it is the theme, possibly not reflecting changes which came with ownCloud upgrades.

You could narrow down the issue by disabling the theme and trying again to reset the password.

Hi,

Thanks, I will give that a go, and let you know how it goes.
Yes the logo is from the theme.

UPDATE: Yes that has worked.
There is an extra filed - “confirm password” that is some how not being displayed when the theme is active.
Need to look into why the theme is not displaying the extra input box .

Final update: It seems that when I made the update I did not update my theme with the new rest password template.
Now that is fixed. and working.

Thanks for pointing in the right direction.
