--------------------------------------
Hi [~gil portenseigne],
I just have a small question. In my implementation, I designed it in a way,
that the user who clicks on the link for the password reset has to provide the
his/her username in the process.
I did that, so that it maybe would not be that easy to use another persons link
to reset his/her password, should someone grab the mail.
With the token I wrote, it will then check, if the token ID provided in the
link and the username entered by the user are connected correctly and if not,
the user can not set a new password.
I may be a little paranoid, but I think this adds another level of security to
this process. Is it possible to add a feature similar to this to the process? I
don't really know what kind of limitations there are with the JWT, but I guess
that should be possible somehow.
Thanks
PS: [~jacques.le.roux], I think your points are quite well exlplained. This
seems like a valid solution, if I didn't miss anything, thanks for exlaining

> Currently, any user (via ecommerce "Forget Your Password") has the ability to
> reset another users password, including "admin" without permission. By
> simply entering "admin" and clicking "Email Password", the following is
> displayed.
> The following occurred:
> A new password has been created and sent to you. Please check your Email.
> This now forces the user of the ERP to change their password. It is also
> possible to generate a dictionary attack against ofbiz because there is no
> capta code required. This is serious security risk.
> This feature could be reduced to a certain sub-set of users, whose login name
> is optionally in the format of an email address, and maybe require a capta
> code to prevent dictionary attacks.
> For example, limit the feature to role "Customer" of type "Person" which was
> generated via an ecommerce transaction.
