NAME
RT::Extension::ResetPassword - add "forgot your password?" link to RT
instance
DESCRIPTION
This extension for RT adds a new "Forgot your password?" link to the
front of your RT instance. Any user can request that RT send them a
password reset token by email. RT will send the user a one-time URL
which he or she can use to reset her password. This extension allows
only users that already have passwords reset their passwords by email.
There isn't yet an option to only allow privileged or unpriviliged users
to reset their passwords.
RT VERSION
Works with RT 4.0, 4.2, 4.4
INSTALLATION
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
May need root permissions
make initdb
Only run this the first time you install this module.
If you run this twice, you may end up with duplicate data in your
database.
If you are upgrading this module, check for upgrading instructions
in case changes need to be made to your database.
Edit your /opt/rt4/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm
If you are using RT 4.2 or greater, add this line:
Plugin('RT::Extension::ResetPassword');
For RT 4.0, add this line:
Set(@Plugins, qw(RT::Extension::ResetPassword));
or add RT::Extension::ResetPassword to your existing @Plugins line.

rm -rf /opt/rt4/var/mason_data/obj
Restart your webserver
UPGRADING
If you are upgrading from version 0.05, you will need to run make initdb
as documented in INSTALLATION to install the Template used by this
Extension.
To run on RT 4.0 or 4.2, replace this line in the template:
{ RT::Interface::Web::RequestENV('REMOTE_ADDR') }
with this:
{ $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'} }
CONFIGURATION
The contents of the email sent to users can be found in the global
PasswordReset template (do not confuse this with the core PasswordChange
template).
If you want to prevent unauthorised visitors from determining what user
accounts exist and whether they are disabled, set
HidePasswordResetErrors to 1 in your RT configuration; then any password
reset request will appear to the requestor to have resulted in an email
being sent, thus not revealing the reasons for any failure. All failures
will still be logged with an appropriate diagnostic message.
