Symptom
The External User forgot their password. Can we resend the External User Welcome Message Template that was sent initially for the external user to reset the password?
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding
Reproducing the Issue
- The External User has already reset the password from the initial email sent but has forgotten the password
- Login as the Admin/HR
- Go to Email Services > Email Status, find the initial email sent
- Resend the same email
Cause
- The link associated with the token [[PasswordResetUrl]] which is used in External User Welcome Message Template expires if used once
- When the External User clicks on this link, it will redirect them to the Login Page
Resolution
As per best practice, there are only two ways a user can reset their password 1) via Forgot Password 2) via Reset User Password through the Admin
- To Enable Forgot Password option in the login page, please follow the below mentioned steps
-
- Kindly go to Admin Centre
- Search for Email Notification Templates Settings
