Today I returned to the password reset issue in
UCM 11g, and I solved it by creating a custom component. Just less than 27 line of code solved it !!! till now I wonder why Oracle missed that.
Anyway I want to share it with you in case you faced the same problem and you were looking for a solution.
I will assume you know how to create a custom service, and in case if you don't know refer to
The Definitive Guide to Stellent Oracle Content Server for
Bex Huff.
1- Create a custom component using
Component Wizard
2- Create a java class and make this class extends
UserService
3- Add the following method to the class
public void resetPassword() throws Exception {
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://localhost:7001/dc=my_domain");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "cn=Admin");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "weblogic1");
DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(env);
ModificationItem[] mods = new ModificationItem[1];
Attribute mod0 = new BasicAttribute("userpassword", m_binder.getLocal("dPassword"));
mods[0] = new ModificationItem(DirContext.REPLACE_ATTRIBUTE, mod0);
ctx.modifyAttributes("uid=sysadmin,ou=people,ou=myrealm", mods);
}
3- Modify the existing service
EDIT_USER_PROFILE (by the Component Wizard)
-Change service class to the newly created class by you (don't forget package name)
-Then add new action which is of type java method and refers to our newly created method
resetPassword
-Order actions so that
resetPassword be before
storeUserDatabaseProfileData
At the end restart and test. One last thing from inside
weblogic administration console, you need to change
embedded ldap credential and be sure it is configured correctly.
