.. _config_tokens:
Reset by mail tokens
====================
How it works?
-------------
First, the user will enter his login and his mail address. A mail is
sent to him.
Then, the user click on the link in the mail, an can set a new password.
.. tip:: PHP sessions are used to store and retrieve token on server
side.
Activation
----------
You can enable or disable this feature with ``$use_tokens``:
.. code:: php
$use_tokens = true;
Mail configuration
------------------
See :ref:`config_mail`.
You can also avoid to request the mail to the user, only the login will
be asekd, and the mail will be read in LDAP:
.. code:: php
$mail_address_use_ldap = true;
Security
--------
You can crypt tokens, to protect the session identifier:
.. code:: php
$crypt_tokens = true;
.. warning:: If you enable this option, you must change the default
value of the security keyphrase.
You should set a token lifetime, so they are deleted if unused. The
value is in seconds:
.. code:: php
$token_lifetime = "3600";
.. warning:: Token deletion is managed by PHP session garbage
collector.
Log
---
By default, generated URLs are logged in the default Apache error log.
This behavior can be changed, to log in a specific file:
.. code:: php
$reset_request_log = "/var/log/self-service-password";
.. warning:: Apache user must have write permission on this
file.
Reset URL
---------
By default, reset URL is computed using server name and port, but these
values can be wrong if the application is behind a reverse proxy. In
this case you can set yourself the reset URL:
.. code:: php
$reset_url = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'] . "://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST'] . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
