Hi Harry, The main reason as to why this feature has not yet been prioritised over all of the other features that have been implemented/are being implemented is that we expect the majority of the institutions that use OAE to integrate with their institutional SSO provider, in which case this feature could not be used as it would be up to the SSO provider to handle password resetting, forgot your password, etc. In other words, a native OAE reset password feature can only be used when using internal accounts, which is not something we expect many institutions to do.
However, a lot of effort has gone into making sure that we offer out-of-the-box integrations with various SSO strategies (CAS, Shibboleth, etc.) and that all of this can easily be configured from the administration UI, without the need to rebuild or redeploy the system. Maybe this would make it easier to configure a pilot with the UD SSO provider details and circumvent the need to reset passwords and manage user accounts? Having said all of that, password reset functionality should not be too hard to do and could be a good candidate for a contributed pull request, as the majority of APIs needed for this (change password, e-mail, etc.) are already in place. We can definitely provide some pointers if you'd be interested in having a go. Lastly, making sure that administrator-level user management functionality is available from the administration UI is a priority. However, this work hasn't been completed yet.
