Password Reset Workflow

The Password Reset Worflow Automation configuration determines what your users will see if they have forgotten their login information.

To configure the 'Password Reset' workflow:

  1. Log in to the Stormpath Administration Console.
  2. Click the 'Directories' tab in the top navigation bar.
  3. This will display the Directory Browser.  Click 'Workflows' tab in the secondary navigation bar.
  4. This will display the 'Workflow Automations' screen.  Find the 'Password Reset' workflow.

When a user triggers this workflow from the Login page s/he will receive and email message with a link that will allow them to reset their password. Upon successful password reset, the user will receive a second email indicating the reset was successful. You can configure, at the directory level, how these emails will appear to your users.
