In my grails application,i am using spring security core plugin for security,and email confirmation plugin for email validity,now i need to implement code for forget password.
Do i need to use spring security ui plugin or i can achiebe it with existing plugins?
With thanks,
Since passwords are stored with one-way encryption, there's no way to retrieve the original cleartext password (unless you store it unencrypted, which is a bad idea). So the workflow in the UI plugin involves resetting the password via email.
You can install that, but you don't have to use the UI plugin - feel free to copy the implementation and use it in your application.
I implemented a reset password feature using the email confirmation plugin. This was when I was using the Acegi security plugin (the Spring Security plugin's ancestor), but AFAIK it should work with the Spring Security plugin too.
