Hi, I've been digging through the documentation and the source for about 2-3 hours now.
As stated on this page: https://apereo.github.io/cas/development/password_management/Password-Management.html It says : "Those who have forgotten their account password may receive a secure link with a time-based expiration policy at their registered email address and/or phone." To implement this behaviour I followed the link to the SMS Notification Guide. https://apereo.github.io/cas/development/notifications/SMS-Messaging-Configuration.html I set the propertys: cas.smsProvider.rest.method=POST cas.smsProvider.rest.url=http://somedummy.url and started the CAS App. Accoring to the debug log some things happened: - setting this values initializes the CommunicationsManger class with my defined SmsSender Class -> https://github.com/apereo/cas/blob/master/core/cas-server-core-util-api/src/main/java/org/apereo/cas/util/io/CommunicationsManager.java - following the code of the manager and the code which use the manager, sending SMS is possible - when using the reset password flow the SendPasswordResetInstructionsAction class is invoked -> https://github.com/apereo/cas/blob/master/support/cas-server-support-pm-webflow/src/main/java/org/apereo/cas/pm/web/flow/actions/SendPasswordResetInstructionsAction.java Calling the doExecute method results in an exception, stating that no mail sender is defined. Which is absolutly true. The problem therefore is, that the whole code for password resets is only working when using emails. Also there is no call at all to the sendSms function of the CommunicationsManager, therefore it impossible to send a SMS with a reset link. I already checked the commits for 1 year but it seems that is never worked. In my opinion, implementing this feature would lead to a generic rest interface which could be used to send the reset-link to another, more specialized service, which would handle the transfer to the user. In my case I would connect a service which creates mails that are enriched by meta data from my companys CRM system. One could even connect a service which generates morse code, light signals or something else because the transport channel would be out of the scope from CAS.
